I graduated highschool last year, and ever since Ive been so to speak 'finding my way' through different outlets. I have yet to begin any further educational courses such as university or college, and I have yet to really begin to know what it is i 'want to do'. Theres just such an incredible amount of options, ideas, creativity, and adventure to be had in this world that it is sometimes difficult for me to relax the overactive mind. Ive realized though, that comparison to what others are doing at this point in their lives, will not aid me in 'succeeding' within my own terms. The best thing to do for myself is to concentrate on the beautiful now, and take it all in a day at a time pace, and start something. Anything. And whatever it is will take me to new places within myself and the world and brighten my path more clearly. Im excited
Sometimes I wish I didn't start university at 18. I constantly feel like escaping university and studying things I can teach myself.
Alot of the time when Im thinking about continuing education...I feel trapped by the idea of university at the moment, and need to soothe my thoughts by thunking of what good it could bring me...but since in the meantime there are other things that my heart is already being made happy by...other educational routs....I think Im going to explore those first..
Remember, uni will always be there. Even if you dont do it all at once, or right away. Want to calm your mind tho? Turn off the lights, put on some soft music such as Classical, Jack Johnson, Bedioun Soundclash or Dave Matthews, then breathe in and out deeply. Think of the word "in" only as you breathe in, and "out" only as you breathe out. Its a good way to refocus.
