My future, at least the next year, is very planned. Since I’m a senior, I pretty much have my final year laid out: what classes to take, when I need to get a job, when I need to move out. It’s actually rather straight forward. Much of it depends on my getting it done– a different topic all together.
My future plans are very customized to me. They would have to be. I don’t understand how someone in technology and design could follow someone else’s path.
I probably won’t get to travel abroad in my time with St. Edward’s. I just don’t have the time left and many of my classes are specific and would be difficult to find replacements for. If I could go abroad, I would want to go places I have a personal interest in rather than professional. Professionally, I should go to Australia or Japan. They have strong video game industries. Personally, I would want to either go to Iceland or return to my childhood home in Italy. At this point, I’m planning vacations and not study abroad opportunities.
I am no long apart of any student groups. I tried a bit at the start of last year, but between my job, classes, personal projects, and modest social life, I found the stress of the orgs not worth the reward. I’ve never been one for school spirit or organizations so I do not feel I am missing much on a personal fulfillment level. After spending all day in classes, studying, and working, I am burned out of being on campus.
