I'm currently a full time college student in my third year at a two year school. Mostly because I took only a few credits each semester and failed one in my first semester (moral of the story: never take an online course if the same course is offered face-to-face). I also got a D in another class (math) in my second year, so it's non-transferable, which is as good as a fail. So, my college career thus far has been actually less horrendous and riddled with failure than high school (and middle school... and elementary school. Look, school and me were never good friends). However I do feel that I am learning in College and I feel that I've found what I want to / am meant to do with my life.
As I have mentioned many, many times before (like just a minute ago in the social thread) I am an Improvisor, which is something I discovered here at college. Apparently I'm pretty good at it, because now I'm in a couple of troupes and have started doing shows for money. It's incredible, it really is, and part of me wants to just forget about my education and pursue improv further. I mean, now is the time in my life to roll the dice and take risks, right? And if I'm going something I love and that I'm good at... Why shouldn't I keep doing it? On the other hand, I really think I need to finish school, and I need to trasfer out of here to a four-year school away from home.
So, I'm coming up real fucking fast and what will probably be the hardest choice of my life. Do I finish school and leave here, or do I stay and continue to work with my friends here? I've always, for my entire life, wanted to eventually move to New York. That has been the one thing that I've always wanted to do, even as a little kid, that's where I wanted to go. I still do, but now it looks like it might be a much better choice for me to start my career in Philadelphia.
I'd also like to fight an alligator one day.
