Okay, we're gonna stop right here. Please, for the love of everything that is good and holy (aka MJ Rodrigues, Ariana Grande, and Laverne Cox - the holy trinity) don't say that word around me. College is commitment. College is stress. College is money I wish I had. All jokes aside, I hope wherever I end up, I'm happy and surrounded by individuals who lift me up and inspire my own personal development and development as an artist.
The University of Kentucky? AMDA? Carnegie Mellon? I wish I could say I have a distinct plan of how my future will look. All I have are aspirations. I know I should have it figured out a little more by now, but, just like my astrological sign, I tend to stray to the more spontaneous side of things. This, paired with procrastination and a sprinkle of worry, could very well totally alter the future I see for myself. Instead of contemplating my ultimate demise as a college student, for now I'll just think about what I want out of college.
College should give me an incredible education in the arts. If I'm paying so much I better be getting my money's worth. I want fun professors and voice teachers I can goof around with. I want to be performing and be overwhelmed with opportunities. I want connections in the industry. I want community, I want chosen family. I want to be doing what I love, and be given the skills to do it for the rest of my life. I want it all, if I really think about it. My expectations may be high but I'm only matching that price tag.
I worry that college might not be as useful for someone like me - debating a musical theatre or drama major - than someone making their first steps in the dreadful journey to becoming a doctor. However, I know that where I go (and if I go) I will have made the right choice.
