So, I am graduating in April. I turn 25 in 1 day, and I will be honest, I don´t have any idea what I am going to do with my life this year. I think about it probably every other minute and I try to give good answers when the questions are asked, but I really don´t know.
Do I leave Provo? Do I stay in Provo? What kind of job do I want? Do I go to grad school? Is this really what I want?
For the record, I do not regret being 25 and where I am in my life. I am 100% pleased with the course of my life up to this point and I would not change a thing, I just wish that I had a plan for after this point. To be honest, I never expected to be 25 and single and trying to decide about which career to pursue. I was one of the little girls who thought 21 was a little old for getting married, haha. I fully expected to be married and with 2 kids by this point in my life, but alas, it has been full of unexpected turns. I served a mission which was the best decision that I have ever made. I went on an internship to Ecuador which again was very impacting. I was in love and thought that I was going to get married, and now here I am - almost graduated from college.
I don´t know yet what is going to happen next in life. Really and truly - no idea! I try to predict it and set up a game plan, but then I throw it out. Sometimes I wonder if my plans are pointless since I always seem to take the unexpected route that suddenly pops up. Hmm...right now I´d really like a magic globe that would tell me would just lay out these next few months for me, but I guess the adventure and the learning comes from taking a few steps into the dark.
Becky, You so totally rock! I am so so glad that you came to Oregon! Missing you already! I hope that you have a spectacular birthday and I just know that whatever you decide to do, it will be awesome because pretty much, you are my inspiration! You always follow the spirit and are courageous in your decisions! I love Becky!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean girlfiend! I feel like I was in the same place a couple years ago when I finished my undergrad, had no job and my plans to go back to NC no longer looked as appealing... Just don't stress too much and enjoy the ride because my guess is that in a couple years you will look back fondly on the adventures you have now!
ReplyDeleteI'm 27, have been married for 5 years and still have no idea "what lies ahead" or what I want to be (career wise). I think that's just part of life. If you want to try London or Boston, just go for it. Figure it out as you go. That's the fun part! I actually envy you in the spot you're in because you can do ANYTHING you want! So enjoy not being tied down and having endless options open to you. I look forward to seeing what you decide to do!
ReplyDeletebecky! happy birthday! I don't have your new number or email address, so I'll have to say it over a blog. pathetic, i know! hope you had a good day! let's hang out soon!
ReplyDeleteYou'll figure things out, Beckycita! I'm excited that you are going to graduate. That is such an accomplishment. I'll be in your same spot come next Winter...well I won't be 25 but I plan on graduating next April. Have a wonderful day and good luck figuring out life.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya Becky. I'm in the same boat sort of. Happy Birthday by the way.
