Last weekend I celebrated my 25th birthday. I am aware that I am still so very young, I hope to make the most of life. No quarter-life crises yet, and I hope to keep it that way. I've done a lot of growing up but I try my best to keep a child-like curiosity so I don't get bored with the world...but is that even possible?
This month I've been full of excitement and a little bit of worry. I'm excited to graduate this May, but I am also falling behind in my thesis writing, and while I know I'm going to finish I still can't help but feel a slight panic. About one more month until it's due... I'm so excited to be done with it.
So far my never-ending quest to learn has been keeping me fully occupied, but I also wonder how my life is going to look once I leave academia and go into "the real world," whatever that means. I just interviewed for a job and I hope I am a great fit for the organization. It would be so sweet to graduate in May and have a position where I can put everything I've learned into practice.
I'm a big fan of
bucket lists, and while I didn't make a "Things-to-do-before-I-turn-25"
list I am already drafting a list of things to accomplish before I'm 30.
Not to say that I should actually follow this timeline, but I do like
having a general idea of what I'd like to do in the next few years. I'll post my list soon. Have to think a bit more about it!
