To all the loyal readers, sorry it took this long for another edition to the JO Times...
I assure you that this is not your average "What I've been up to" post.
With the Fall of 2011 wrapping up, I have come to the conclusion that Biology may not be my strong suit. However, being four years deep in a degree is slightly hard to get out of. It sucks realizing that I have a strong interest in film and potentially engineering (worth pursuing) at this point in time.
Keep in mind though, that things could always be worse:
I could be homeless, waterless, starving, without friends or family.
Reminding ourselves of the basics keeps us grounded and humble, and with that, I remain satisfied with where I am in life. There is still time to grow and realize my true calling in life.
My one goal in life is to help those in need.
Whether it be directly through the peace corps., or representing the underrepresented in films, I will do my part. If PA school doesn't fall through, I will be applying to the peace corps. In addition to opening up opportunities for me in the future, it will widen my chinky eyes at how much "help" some parts of the world needs. Obtaining that dream job doesn't stem from the degree, but rather your experiences. I may have a degree in biology, but does it matter if I feel like I haven't taken anything valuable away from it?
In the end, my degree represents the ups and downs in my academic career and the experiences I've come across with all parties involved. Friends have come and gone; and I'm sorry if I've neglected some of you. But always remember that I'll always be with you. I love you guys.
