Assignment #7 - Taylor Galavotti - Can I Be Honest?

Really though? Can I be?

I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life.

Psychology and Neuroscience sound fun I guess, but how am I to know if I'll still think that in 4 years? Will I end up wasting 3 years of tuition on a degree that I'm not even interested in anymore? What if I have a quarter-life crisis and drop out of college completely to become a stand-up comedian?

I'm terrified for college. I know a couple things about what I want at my dream school, though.

Number 1: All the opportunities to gain experience
One thing that baffles me about the job market is that they want you to have job experience if you are to be hired, but they won't hire you to let you gain experience. It's a real chicken and the egg type of situation. So, I'm hoping the school I end up at has opportunities for me in the field that I hopefully choose sometime soon.

Number 2: I WANT TO STUDY ABROAD IN LONDON
I've wanted to go to London since I was in the 4th grade read Harry Potter. (I know Hogwarts isn't in London, I've just always wanted to go to make me feel like I was a real British person). The cold, the wind, the rain, the accents, the tea, the Sherlock Holmes, all of it has been my dream since forever so if I could get a chance to study in London through my college I would be absolutely over the moon. Clear to Jupiter over the moon.

Number 3: Floor to Ceiling shelves
If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a dork. I've seen pictures of beautiful libraries all over the world and I know that if I am to go to a school, it MUST have a lovely library where I can study and read and feel like I'm being productive. I especially love the ones that look like they've existed forever with dusty bound books and shelves to the ceiling with the ladder that slides around the shelves. Think Erasmus's library from Barbie: Swan Lake. That's what I'm looking for.

So, if I ever figure out what my future is going to look like, I can only hope that it ends up looking at little something like this.
