As I said in my most recent post, time is flying by for me and the plans for my future need to be thought out and planned pretty soon... with this in mind, the daunting big decisions for my future are creeping up on me and I've decided to start settling them now. This is huge for me and I couldn't be prouder of myself. If any of you know me, you'd know that I don't do well with pressure and making decisions for myself, however, I've pushed past this fear and instead of the future being scary for me, I've changed it to become something to be excited about and to look forward to.
Now I'm beginning my final year at college, the next few years are important and need to be throughly sorted out and planned, I've decided to take a gap year and go travelling the world. This is something i'd never thought i'd do ever, but this dream I once had as a child is about to come true. I'm taking the whole year off to travel around as much of the world as I can with my best friend. We plan to work as we travel, making as much money as we can in the different places of the world to get the chance to see as much as we can, to experience the wonders of the world and create a million and one life long memories that can never be forgotten.
Once my travels are over, I plan to go to university. I'm planning on working extremely hard in my final year of college to get the high grades that I need to get into the university I'm aiming for. With this in mind, if I reach these grades and accomplish my goals, I'll be heading to uni for 3 years. If all goes well and I like the course I hope to either take a masters or a doctorate in the subject, therefore, furthering my chances in getting a job when I leave. This is all sounds pretty and perfect but it's going to be much much harder than I except. My plans for the future could change at any minute, they could change suddenly and or easily, I'll just have to see what the future has got in store for me.
Now, further into my future, when I leave home for the first time, after university, I know I won't be living in my dream house, as it will be financially impossible, but I hope to rent an apartment thats big enough for me and big enough for me to decorate. A passion of mine is interior design, and I cannot wait to decorate my very own apartment/house. I've already planned the colour scheme for certain rooms, i.e. the kitchen will be cream, with pastel utensils and appliances. I've seen lots of cute little home gifts that I want to buy myself for my future home, I would love little wooden signs around the apartment and cushions in the living room.
Planning my future can be extremely stressful, especially the next 4 or 5 years will be hard, but I'm looking forward to planning, organising and decorating my own home with the family I wish to have one day.
Planning your future doesn't just have to be scary, I've learned this recently, it's a chance to find out who you really are and what you really want, it can be exciting and fun, you just need to see the bigger picture.
