Hey so this post is for those of you out there who are like Anna's leaving? She'll be gone for a year? What?!?
So first off Anna's not my name but it is what I'll be going by here. If you're curious how I came up with the name I'm using I've got one word for you, anagram. Back to the original point, I'm going to be working as an Au Pair for a year in Germany. Some of you out there are thinking to yourselves why, well I'll tell you why!
I've just about finished my AA (I've got one online class left to take) so the next step is to transfer to the 4 year and get my bachelors degree but I'm not ready for that yet. I'm honest enough with myself to know I won't study enough to get amazing grades at this point in my life and I'm frugal enough to not waste money on something that I won't get the most value out of.
I've always wanted to go off on an adventure so I figure this is a good time to do that. Go off, mature a bit, and come back into college a new woman who knows what she wants to study and is willing to study hard. For those of you who didn't know I've changed majors roughly 10 times and it goes from one end of the spectrum to the other so again, why spend a ton of money on something that I'm not even sure I really want.
So to reiterate I'll be in Germany for a year as an Au Pair and this blog is about my life during that year.
Adventure time!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anyone really knows what they want to do. Don't forget, people change career paths all the time now, and most people don't even do anything directly related to their Bachelor's degree. (This is good, since once you pick something, you are not chained to it forever.) So don't go thinkin' that by the end of the year you'll have nailed down what you want to do for the rest of your life. You very well could, but if you don't the year is no failure. Adventure is its own reward! Plus you'll undoubtedly learn a heck of a lot about yourself in the process.
Well, that all sounded rather cheesy. But I still think it's true. Anyway, have a freakin' phenomenal time and don't forget to post!
Love,
Sam
P.S. If you plan to keep going by "Anna" after you get back, let me know. If it's rolling around in my head for a year it'll be a lot easier not to screw it up.
