Thinking About Graduation

It has come to my attention that I am graduating with my bachelor's degree at the end of 2016.

...that's scary.

Granted, I will be going to graduate school, and won't technically be done with school until Winter 2019...but I do have a break in between undergrad and grad school between January 2017 and August 2017, in which I will be on my own, working, doing who knows what. And that may be extended if I don't get into grad school...

What the heck am I doing? What am I going to do with my life? Where will I live? Work? Will I meet someone? Will I be happy? In what ways will I change? Will I do great things? Will I step up?

...I don't know the answers to these questions...and that gives me a rush of fear and excitement at the same time. Who knows where I'll end up...?

In the end...in the end I hope I will be working every day to fight for people. I want to fight for people's health, to encourage their self-efficacy, and ultimately better their lives. As a dietitian, that will be my goal. How will I do that? I don't know....yet. But I will fight for this goal. And I will destroy all false ideology that prevents people from having their best life.

Haha, I suppose I got a bit fired up there. Well, it's my passion. No apologies for that.
