Personally, I think it’s a good idea to have a general idea of where you’re headed in life. For instance, I’m considering getting my Bachelor’s in Graphic Design with a minor in Computer Science, then possibly pursuing a Master’s and PhD in Psychology.

I suppose this is customized to me in the sense that it’s all based off of my own goals in life; I want to create and leave some kind of mark on this little blue dot, yet I also want to have a strong focus on helping others. Those are my own life goals, nobody else’s, and everything I plan is only to further my progress towards those goals; to better myself and bring myself closer to the skill set I need to help others, as well as help myself.

I would like to travel to another region, just to get a sense for a culture that isn’t my own and pick up some influences. I’ve always been really fond of Japanese anime and food, so I think it’d be neat to visit Japan, especially with how friendly the locals tend to be with foreigners.

I’m not quite sure what draws so many people to Japanese culture or even anime, but they’re both things I’ve had a strong interest in since I was in elementary school. I think there’s a certain level of maturity in the majority of Japanese storytelling (at least with the anime I’ve seen), and that really resonated with me as a child who spent most of his life talking to adults rather than kids his own age. With that said, I think Japan would be the one place I would want to see before I graduate, or at least before my life got really serious.

I’m not part of any kind of student group or organization, I simply don’t have the time for it between my studies and commuting back and forth between school and my mom’s house every day. However, if it wasn’t already apparent, I’ve always been interested in the anime club, mainly because I started my high school’s anime club and ran it for two years. I wanted to see what a club like that could do at St. Edward’s with possibly more resources and definitely a more serious group than the kind we got in high school (which often was comprised with random kids with nothing better to do).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, that’s sort of what I’d like to do and see at St. Edward’s.
