Lately I’ve been feeling like I am the only person I know that isn’t working on their resume, filling out job applications and going on job interviews. In the fall, I want to do the Disney College Experience at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida (http://www.wdwcollegeprogram.com/sap/its/mimes/zh_wdwcp/index.html). Basically, I would be working at a very low wage for Disney in a park, hotel, etc., but having a blast. I think part of the reason I want to do this is because I love Disney, and think it would be so neat, but I think part of it is just because I really don’t want to grow up. And what better place is there to stay a kid a little longer than Disney World?

After Disney, I think I want to join the Peace Corps. People have asked me why, and honestly, I can’t really think of any reason to not. I know there are dangers involved, I’ve done a ton of research, but I really feel like the positives outweigh the negatives here, and I feel like the Peace Corps would be an amazing thing for me.
If things go according to this plan, my life will be planned out until approximately Summer 2011. That’s more than a little scary to think about.

I really like the idea of this being my life, but at the same time it’s a lot to take in. That’s three years of my life planned out, without my being able to do much to change anything. It also makes me ask myself, “is this just a cop-out?” Part of me wonders if I am leaning towards this plan just because I don’t want to be a grown up and because I don’t know what to do with myself after college.

I guess I just wish there was some way to know for sure what to do, or if certain choices are right. But I guess that isn’t real life.
