What do I do with my life?

Hello!

It is now the 1st of May! Almost halfway through 2015!! Time really flies.. Almost finished my first year of university. That's a weird thought, since it feels like I just started studying. When you notice how fast time flies, you often start thinking; "What am I doing with my time?" We are always told that these years are the best years of our lives. That we should enjoy it while we can. That we should just use this time to travel and discover yourself. I would love to travel and discover the different cultures and people around the world. Sadly money tends to play a big role when it comes to traveling. I could always just go backpacking and just randomly find a place to stay day by day, but I don't think I am spontaneous enough to do that. I kinda like to know that I have somewhere safe to sleep when I am traveling. Education is also something important that I would like to have, and the best time to get a proper education without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money, is when we are fresh out of high school. So of course I want to finish school and get a bachelor degree. It will always be handy to have, and it can function as a safety net later in life. So as much as the desire to travel the world is burning, I will finish what I started, and then I would really like to travel. But I don't want to plan too much of my future, because that's the magical thing about the future; there is no way of knowing what will happen. I try to take life a day at a time and enjoy it.

Life is really unpredictable, for example I have no idea where I will be living after summer vacation. My roommate and her boyfriend are moving in together, so of course I will have to find somewhere else to live. Now this wasn't anything that came as a surprise to me, since I knew he was moving here this fall anyway. But my point is that things always change. And the only thing we can do is face these new changes with a smile and an open mind. I know that I will find somewhere to live. I have already applied for a student dorm, but I don't know which I will get, so that is kinda exciting. It will be a new adventure in my life. And of course I know that I have friends who will back me up if I fail completely at finding a place. But come on, I will always find something. ^^ It always works out in the end.

When it comes to school, in fall I will be starting my third semester where I will be studying an extra subject instead of history. I will most likely be studying religious studies, not because I am a very religious person, but because I think it's very interesting to learn about the different religions that are around the world, and how they came to be. I am mostly looking forward to the south-asian religions with mainly hinduism and buddhism, but it is still interesting to learn about the others as well. This is also a topic that is very current. I think it's important to understand the way things function in all parts of the world, and that includes the different religious aspects, since it is such a big part of different countries' culture.

Until next time~
