Day 13: What are you excited about?

I know many people talk about how excited they are about the future because, depending on the point they may be in their lives, graduation, career, marriage, children, etc. is within their grasp. I’m two years away from graduating college with a journalism degree and English minor but that’s not what excites me.

I’m excited for my future because I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m typically very well organized and during semesters I have to plan out my weeks carefully in order to make sure I have the time to complete assignments and work. Though not knowing what is around the corner of time makes me twitch because it’s hard to plan for, it also sends a thrill through me because whatever is lurking could be amazing or heart breaking. It’s all a part of life and hopefully, at the tender age of 22, I still have quite a bit to live through and experience.

The few things I do know about my future is my hands will likely be cramping from the amount of typing I’ll be doing. I know my eyes will burn from lack of sleep be it finishing an article or stalking my Twitter feed to track news updates. I know I could land anywhere in the world. I know my family will support my decisions. Ultimately, I know no matter what happens, I’ll take it one day at a time and power through it whether it is good or bad.
