SO i stumbled upon pictures of my friends graduation... radio city music hall, Chuck Schumer giving the trite inspirational speech recycled from past events, "You are the future, yadda yadda."
then
nausea hit...
like for real
the split pea soup in my tummy wanted out.
What are we all graduating from?
I graduate this May....
COLLEGE is over?
now what???
fuck it , im not even attending the commencement, I would rather stay in Europe longer, but I must go home to start working and paying off debt...
i dont know and its starting to drive me into a chronic frenzy.
i think i almost had a panic attack today.

I beg to differ, all I know during this past year is that traveling and living, the more I thought about it the more I realized how lost i am. The more I travelled the more confused I have gotten. More confused about the kind of life I want, or dont want.
The more I see, the less I know.
