What are you doing after you graduate? The million dollar question for any college senior.
When I entered college, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I have figured out my calling... many times, then decided it was something else once again.
I graduate in 3 months 9 days 1 hour and 51 minutes and if you asked me today, where I see myself in 5 years, I can tell you one thing. I'll be doing something.
I currently have this internal battle going on. Part of me wants to venture out into the unknown, the uninhabited, God's Country (because no one else wants to live there). I want to set my worrying soul free on the back of a horse, surrounded by cattle. Wake up before the sun, grab my coffee and head out to feed the world in a place the world has never seen. I want to go to bed after the sun has set, the crickets and fireflies have come alive, and the days work is complete. I want to bundle up and trudge through deep snow just to ensure my animals are fed and happy. I want to spend my days using my hands, in order to let my creative mind free to sit down a write each night.
But then I have this other part of me. The part that wants to study hard and learn more every chance I can get. The one that wants to achieve enough to teach others and encourage them to never give up on their dreams. The one that wants to find the answers to the questions I have been asking for years through hours, days, weeks, months, and years of research. The one that wants to feed the world by providing farmers with more efficient, environmentally friendly, and animal centered ways of farming. The one that wants to change the world and maybe even run for office someday.
So where I will be in just over 3 months, I can't tell you. Currently, I am looking at pursuing both avenues, waiting for the right door to open. And I know that God has a plan, he just has not shared it with me yet.
