I have no idea what I am going to do with my life.

September 4th, 2007 / #movies, #observations

As if it hasn’t been apparent for some time now to those that know me well, I have decided recently that my life lacks any direction. This became clear to me when I watched John Candy in Uncle Buck yesterday afternoon and realized that it is quite possible that I would end up like his character – irresponsible, poor, and reckless.

So, what do I do now? Part of me says that I should ignore this inevitability, embracing it as a beautiful alternative way of life. But then, the other 99 percent of me says that I need to buckle down and decide what I want to do with my life. Sure, it’s quite normal for people my age to not know what they are going to do for the rest of their lives, but it has become increasingly apparent to me that a lot of my friends at least know what they want to do with their lives.

All right, that has been established. I should decide what I like to do and build my career around that. Hm, are there any high-paying professions that involve sleeping until 11, sitting around my house watching television, and eating meals high in fat and calories?

Uh oh, I don’t think my political science major will be useful after all.

    I didn’t figure it out until right before my final semester, and then it all came together very quickly. And now I’m living the dream. Or something.

    Of course my political science degree didn’t really do anything for me. But it was my second major. Maybe you should double up to increase your odds of success?

    My friend Kathryn has a point about the double major. I decided to drop PoliSci because it is worth zilch, but I had enough credits and it was easy to do so I kept it as a major. You should add business or finance or something like that.

    In other news, please hurry up and figure out what you want to do with your life so you can start thinking about what I want to do with my life.

    As for the profession listed in your post, perhaps drug dealer?

Sorry, but comments are closed. Some things are best said in a vacuum.

  • Who I Am

    I'm a nobody from Florida with things to say (sometimes).

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I shared my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I sometimes chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
