Every so often, a college student reaches this stage in his or her life where he or she sees the world moving around him or her and realizes, he or she is standing still, and wonders what the hell he or she is doing in life. I reached such a stage in my life this week. The summer is fast approaching (and by fast, I mean in like...less than 2 weeks...) and the closer it draws, the more people seem to fall in love with the question "What are YOU doing this summer?" I've been asked this question about a hundred times in the past week and here's the answer I wanted to yell obnoxiously to the next person that asks me: "I have NO FUCKING IDEA what I'm doing this summer!"
Of course I don't actually yell this, because that would be unbecoming, but I really have been tempted the past 50 times or so. While I am reveling in my personal crisis, all the people I love are moving on with their lives around me. They actually have a clue of what their summers are looking like. My fellow elements are all engaging in adventures this summer--Swift and Heat are travelling to Spain and Portugal this summer on what sounds like is going to be on HELLUVA escapade. Liquid is working for MTV in NEW YORK. My own dear boyfriend will be in New York as well working for JP Morgan with a few friends of his. And what am I doing?
Uhhhh...
Well. From the time school ends until my brother's graduation (HOLY mother of God Ican'tbelievehe'sgraduating!) I will be chilling at home doing a whole lot of LSAT prep, working out, and relaxing, with the occasional hanging out with friends. It's about 20 days of having nothing to do and I don't really mind. I'm actually quite excited about that. And then I'm off to the motherland, mera Bharat Mahan, for a grand total of...like 3 weeks. I think we'll be stopping in Paris on the way there so that's alright. Although touring exciting places with my family is like trying to strangle yourself--it just doesn't work. But all that is still Hunky Dory...until I come back.
This is where the fun starts. I'm back. It's the end of June. and I have NOTHING to do. Now, I'm not the kid of person that gets bored. Really, I'm not. But when EVERYONE you know is off gallivanting on some exciting adventure, you do start to wonder what the hell you're doing sitting at home. All I want is a job. Something to take my mind off of the ample amount of excitement I could be having and the ample amount of nothingness that I'm actually doing.
So. The point of this rant? Someone hire me PLEASE!!! Save me from wasting away my life this summer. Give me meaning! Give me PURPOSE!
K. I'm done.
