I've been a little overwhelmed with how awful the world is, not for me personally, but for the majority of its inhabitants. I had a mini-anxiety attack when I was thinking about the perils of the not-so-far-off future.

I'm not planning on going back to school next year because I don't want to be in debt when there's no job market even for careers that require degrees. I will be a junior at the end of this year and I still don't have a major. That's ridiculous. I have thousands of dollars in student loans that I would much rather just pay off before I'm in over my head. I'm pretty adamant about applying for the Peace Corps. If I get in, I'll be able to defer my student loan payments and gain valuable work experience and the opportunity for international travel.

I've always felt an imperative to help others, I just haven't found my niche. All I want to do in life is travel and help people on a personal level.

Everything has been weighing so heavy on my chest, my heart. I hate it but hopefully it will motivate me to make these important decisions.
