Screw it, I'm shifting to an interdisciplinary minor and a more rewarding major. I might not have an easy path, after undergrad, but it's better than having an unfulfilled lotto list.

Plus, it gets me out of uni faster--except, I'm low on credits other than my major and minor, which means that I might have to stay behind to take electives. Which kind of sucks, but is also kind of really awesome, considering my lotto list--it's full of things I would like to learn for no particular reason.

I keep carrying around this bolder of disappointment that my parents decided to give me during my freshman year, when really I guess I should have just set it down somewhere where it wouldn't roll over anyone. It scares me off of doing anything I want to do, and forces me to think of the most viable source of income. Man, not everyone is going to make buttloads of money. If we didn't have the electricians, and the high school teachers, and the sewage workers, this place would fall apart. Someone has to do the low-paying jobs.

And I'm not saying that's gonna be me, but I'm also not guaranteeing that it won't be. Just...we'll see! At least this way, it'll be interesting.

Taking classes just because they look fun and interesting is nice. Most people I know only take classes that will fulfill their requirements.

You know, you should take classes that interests you too since you won't know what will actually allow you to make big bucks. Take accounting/business for example, everyone said that you'd make big bucks but that is a long term thing and you have to be in the right line to do it because if you're not like a CFO, you most probably ain't gonna get big bucks unless you're made partner in an accounting firm.

Electives are the best! When I was a freshman I took a film class and it changed my LIFE. I knew I loved film, but this taught me the ins and outs and introduced me to amazing authors and films and genres I'd never heard of before. I loved it so, so, so, so much. I'd take it again if I could! I just re-read one of the assigned books I had for that class, it was so much fun! I miss college sooooo much.
