It's been a strange two weeks for me. My perspective towards life- in general- has completely been changed. I've also been doing a lot of serious thinking. Especially about my career path; I've decided against pharmacy. I want to do something that I love, that I'm passionate about, and it's very difficult to be passionate about pills. So here's the million dollar question: What do I really want to do?
This is where the sudden realization comes into play. If I could accomplish one thing (career-related) in my lifetime, it would be to write a book. Not just any book, but a book worth reading and worth being published. Yes, I'm aware that I'm probably not the best writer, and I don't even know where to begin. But I figure this... I have had an interesting life- thus far- and it's only bound to become more interesting as the years go on. Right? So if anything, I have some useful incite or a "fresh perspective." I don't know.
Along with sudden realization part one, of course there is a sudden realization part two. I can't expect to be able to write a book and bank hundreds of thousands of dollars within a reasonable time frame. Solution to this problem: keep the biology major, add on an english minor. Biology is such a broad spectrum, I could do so many things with it. I could go into the medical field, save baby animals, or even save the environment. Hell, I could save the world.
So thank you countless hours of daydreaming, you've actually helped me to formulate a general idea of how I'd like my life to play out. Given, life never goes according to plan, but hey... one day at a time my friends.

OCD by Way of Organization
I have come to realize- time and time again- that no matter how much the sh** hits the fan, I always learn from it. Or that every time my day starts off being exceptionally horrible, by the end of the day it evens out and ends up being a good day in some aspect or another. Or vice versa. I'm just going to try and make sense out of all this by calling it Karma.
Well, the life of any given individual is the strangest thing (in my opinion). We are capable of hiding certain things from the outside world, and even organizing our lives into different categories. These categories may look something like this: Personal, Career/Academia, Romance, and Social. For me, I don't like any of these categories to mingle. That's when things get messy and uncomfortable. Given, my Romance category is virtually non-existent... but that does make things easier when it comes to keeping things separate. So, for that, I am grateful. Anyways, I feel that- generally speaking- there's no reason for these categories to intertwine. The Personal category only hinders the Career/Academia category, as well as the Social category. I guess that's the point I'm trying to make. Don't let your issues define you.
But I must warn you, I could be partially delusional on this one. To me, it makes sense, and I guess that's all that really matters.

Special Olympics
Yesterday, I donated to the Special Olympics while buying my breakfast at Harmon's. It made me feel pretty good, and it wasn't even a big deal. I wasn't really planning on using my spare dollar anyways. Imagine if everyone buying groceries at Harmon's donated a dollar to the Special Olympics. That would be so many dollars.
My point being, maybe I like the Special Olympics. Maybe I think it's a good cause, and maybe I support them. Maybe, I feel bad about that one year when I was supposed to help out at the Special Olympics and never went. So for that, I'd like to publicly apologize to all those Olympians I let down, I'm sorry, I was fifteen and dumb.

Lack of Creativity
Until very recently, I had been under the impression that the only people allowed to have blogs were a. writers b. photographers or c. smug married couples. And then there's also- my personal favorite- the smug married couples who just so happen to be photographers. With these blogs, you get a combination of pictures, as well as descriptions as to how much fun these couples have been experiencing since entering into Holy Matrimony.
Anyways... after discovering that a lot of normal people have blogs, I have decided to hop on the bandwagon. I figure it'll be a good thing, considering my mind is practically a cornucopia of the most intelligent thoughts, just waiting to be let loose. Not so much, but I will become a blogger nonetheless.
Which brings me to my current dilemma: What to name my blog? Never once in my life did I ever think I'd be contemplating a thing such as this. At first I started off with simply making the name of my blog my actual name, but then I realized how boring that is. So I resorted to my favorite search engine ever, Google. That's where I discovered titles such as "Blogger's name says," "A day in the life of...," or "Me, My life, and I." All of which lack the creative element I seem to be looking for. I did however see one called "Insert Witty Creative Blog Title Here," which I thought was kinda funny, but also not my style. I guess I could call it something that relates to my life... but I think that too would lack said creative element. The search continues, but until then my blog will have to live with the title of "..."
