It's my last semester in college and I am attempting to follow my dreams in a country with a hellbent economy. The economy is the least of my worries, the reality of graduation has made me bluntly aware of how unaware I am of my dreams. I continue to refer to a piece of advice I heard "You should do for a living the same thing you would do if you won the lottery and never had to work again, do what you are passionate about." The problem is I have no idea what I would do if I won the lottery. I think everyday I would be terrified that I would die now that I had millions of dollars, and to be honest I know I don't want to live in fear of death. So now I'm confused. I don't remember what I wanted to be when I was a kid and I feel a little like Dustin Hoffman in the graduate when Mr. McGuire tells him to think about how the future is in plastics.
I have been looking for jobs in the Chicago area but am not really sure what I am looking for. I have only found one I'm interested in and getting that job would probably leave me as confused as I am now. I say that because all that I know I want right now is to live in Chicago and to get that job. So what do you do when you finally get everything you want? I'd imagine you end up pretty bored, I guess I better start looking for new interests to work towards. But if all of this is the biggest problem in my life right now, then I guess I have a pretty good thing going.
