The World As I Know It

Throughout my near twenty-two years of life there has always been one thing that never leaves my mind: what will the future bring?

Granted, this is a generically vague statement, and I realize this. However, the future used to scare be beyond my wits end. Before coming to college, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I came to Kent State going into tentative career in education simply because I liked to read and I didn't mind English class throughout high school.

So, here I stand. I'm a 21 year-old English major that will (all things considered) graduate over the summer and be ready to formally start my adult life. Am I ready? Probably not, but who knows when you're ready for something so profound as life itself?

Here is what I know for sure:
1.) I would like to have an office
2.) No matter what, I will always write recreationally
3.) I would like BOTH a cat and a dog
4.) I want to have a kitchen with stainless appliances and dark marble counters
5.) I'm a romantic, and if I have someone I love, I'll be happy
6.) Live within 10 minutes of a bar that rivals the one in "How I Met Your Mother"

Those, my friends, are the facts. Will these change? Sure, I imagine I could go for black appliances depending on how the kitchen looks, and so on and so forth.

At the current point in time I am happy with my life:
1.) I have a great group of friends
2.) I have a job at school and at home
3.) My family is together and basically healthy
4.) I have a girl in my life that I love with a fire that can't be described, because frankly words do not do it justice
