"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

I haven't been doing a very good job of following my favorite quote. I've been so worried about finding what I'm supposed to do in life that I've forgotten that I can do almost anything I want to. It's not bad that I don't have a specific plan. It means I have options. It means I can really take the opportunity to do some long term volunteering and/or traveling before figuring out my career. I have the perfect chance to do some exploring and find some brand new experiences for myself. I have time to figure out how to live on my own and deal with problems before I have too much to focus on all at once.

Graduating college is like kicking off the training wheels on a bike. You hit the same bumps and obstacles, but you need to learn to adjust quicker and balance better. I think this year I'm going to focus less on the final destination and more on just learning how to ride.
