Another Rant: Cali?


hello world wide web!

It's DryEyes comin' at you on this lovely day in the middle of finals week. As I push through the last few exams of my junior year I thought I'd take a moment to come and talk at you for a bit. I've been thinkin' bout my life a lot of late, and about what I really really want, what would really make me happy after graduation especially because I'm still convinced the end of the world is just moments away. Last year if anyone asked me what I wanted to do after college my answer would be 'pay back my loans!' Lol sad but true, ever since freshmen year the thought of paying back my loans is all that graduation seems to bring to mind. Lately I've been thinking that maybe the world might end before SallieMae finds my new adress so I've got to come up with a plan B.

So I came up with two things I'd Really like to do next year. First I've decided to move to California and go to art school for photography. I was like a fake photography minor in college but nothing really worth mentioning. Anyways in thinking of all my options I can't think of anything that would make me happier than just taking a ton of photography classes. Yes, that means more loans but o well we'll figure all that out later. Why Cali you may ask, well first of all cuz Greece is WAY too far and cuz its warm and...well I don't really have any really good reason other than those two but let the wind blow me where it may, right? Life is too short not to do what makes me smile..and Cali makes me smile!

Number two on my list is still to fall madly in love with some insanely sexy/funny/smart/responsible.....yes i said responsible, responsibility is sexy as ish lol. Show me a man that runs ish and I'll show you a man that I'm willing to spoon with lol. I know it's lame but men also make me smile :)

I'm still trying to convince myself not to punk out on my Cali dreams and that they're actually gonna happen. The idea of moving soooo far away from my family FREAKS me out but I have a sister who moved to Africa in december and while I miss her I envy the mess out of her cuz she's seeing the world and we're not going anywhere we'll still be around when she comes back. I think I owe it to the bored adventure hungry 14 yr old inside of me to do something waaay out of my comfort zone. See when I was fifteen I moved to the Greater Philadelphia area and while it was nothing like Haiti....it wasn't all I wanted it to be there was nothing sexy about the house I moved to or the friends I made. College was fun but Definitely didn't live up to all the daydreams i had about college life the summer of senior year. Maybe I should give it up and realize that life is just not that fabulous and no matter where I go this is it....Nah i gotta give the world at least one more shot to prove its awesomeness to me lol. So let's go Cali show me what you got!
