Post-Graduation and Travel (More Entertaining than it sounds, I promise)

Picture the scene; I'm sitting on one of the sofas at Uni with no-one around, enjoying the wonder of only having 1 lecture, which at that point had been done and dusted, then one of my flatmates comes down and we enter the dark and mysterious world of discussing 'Post-Graduation' and the speed of Uni. Part of the reason we began this discussion is because its nearing the end of the spring term and only having 1 term left of the entire freshers year seems...well....incredible and daunting. Nevertheless it got me thinking, with nearly 2 years left (the speed of which, judging by this year is likely to zoom past) What is my post-BachelorOfArts-graduation plan? and if I'm truly honest I'm rather undecided right now. I'm not saying that once someone has been in Uni for a year it is imperative that they have a 50 year plan, but I like to know what I'm doing, and it's a little disillusioning when I'm left without too much clarity as to my future plans. So, as much as I comprehend the fact that having too many choices as to where my career and life is heading is actually quite freeing and exciting, I still want to lay down some metaphorical paving stones in the way of prospective possibilities. My  'paving stones' or Paving Stones of Resolution as I'm going to call them because it just sounds cool, similar to New Years Resolution (but it's past that so yeah, lets just create something fun and original) are as follows;

• Blog more (I know I've mentioned in at least 3 of the previous 20 posts that I'll try to write more, and I just  get caught up in other stuff, but I really feel it would aid my personal sanity and from a more professional perspective; it'll help develop my writing style, so hopefully I'll write at least 1-2 times a week if not more)
• Pictures - This is a bit of an extension to the above Paving Stone of Resolution but I want to start adding pictures to my blogs, even if they are only slightly linked to the post I'd still like to do it, to give this relatively blank blog a more personal and attractive touch. (The picture in this post is of a fairly small Ferris Wheel in the centre of Paris - truly one of my favourite times, only there a week but it was incredible)
• Relax (Not much explanation needed. Stress is not fun, take own advice.)
• Look into Travel

Aaaaaaand that last Paving Stone creates a nice little segway into the next point; Travel. Travel, travel, travel, what do I actually mean? and why has it taken so long for me to get to this point? Well after the little discussion with my flatmate, I also thought about the idea of travelling, whether its to a couple of countries or even more, I've always wanted to do it! Does it or will it conflict with possibility of graduate study? Weeeell for now I don't care! In my opinion, it's not going to conflict with anything because whether I do it before I do post-graduate studies or when I'm going through some mid-life crisis I intend to do it! So now we've settled on if when I travel matters to me, lets go to where...For me, France has always been a personal obsession for me, I've been twice with my last school (1 day trip to Boulogne-sur-mer and a week trip to Paris) but I absolutely love it, and even if my 'travelling' was simply raising enough money and funding myself to be able to rent out a house in the South of France and stay there for a few months just writing and getting inspiration, that would be a dream/goal fulfilled. Places like Greece, America and Italy are also places I'd love to go, it doesn't have to be for too long, or to too many places, but what I'd like to end this post on, similar to my previous post on dreams and goals, if you sincerely have a dream (like to travel to [insertwishfulplace]) then you'll raise the money, and you'll have the drive for it. I will travel at some point, and that's not taking into consideration any possible monetary positives or negatives, it's because I want to. Don't be telling yourself you cant do what you want! YOU CAN. DO IT. NOW....well maybe not now, depends what you're doing. Can do if you want, why not?!
