Because we need many kinds of blog updates titled, "What's Next?" and "The Future!" and so on so forth. But, in my defense, this is big, long-term news. I'd say bigger than my "BLOG NAME CHANGE!!! Yeah!" news.
As high school begins to come to a close, I'm looking more and more into colleges and scholarships, and whew, am I behind! But the point is, I'm planning on going to college, and if I can earn enough scholarships and/or grants, I can go to college for the 2020/2021 school year, which would be amazing. There is a chance I may not be able to obtain the funds to go to college, in which case guess what I'll do? Get a job, and a life, and hopefully find some greater purpose God has laid out for me.
Edit: I wrote this a while back. I've got a job now.
Below is a list of all the things that'll change in both situations (me going to college versus me not being able to afford going to college), and also a list of what won't change.
If I Go To College:
- I will become undeniably busy. Chances are, I'll get a part-time job while in college. You know I'm going to stay in contact with my friends. Where does that leave this blog? Kinda lonely, if you ask me. Maybe this blog will even die. I'm not sure.
- Actually, yeah, not much will change, except my schedule.
If I Can't Go To College:
- I will still become busy, as I will be needing to receive a job, and will be working on moving out of my parents' home. However, I may not be extensively busy, so I may still have time for this blog.
- I will focus a lot more on getting my driver's license. Obviously.
- I will probably become more involved in my church. I want to do this, anyways, I just don't have the opportunities right now. If I don't start attending college, I'll probably be more able to volunteer at the church and help out.
- I might want to travel and visit friends from other states.
- Other stuff. Not quite sure how anything else would fit into my "grand plan", as it all costs money, time, or just doesn't seem possible, thus I'll leave it as "Other Stuff".
What Won't Change:
- I will actively be seeking out some better way to glorify God. I feel like this is kinda a long-shot, since every time I felt like I understood God's calling I was gravely mistaken, but maybe He's just trying to teach me persistence and testing my faith. Thus, I'm going to keep looking for ways to grow.
- I will at least try to appear on this blog. Sometimes. I'll make no promises, though.
- I will try to keep up with all the Marvel and Star Wars related content in the future.
- And above the last two points, I will keep on smiling! Smiles may not be contagious, but they are scientifically proven to improve one's mood!
So, does this mean no more Mr. Forensic Scientist? You know, if you do choose. a field in Theology there are Schools of Divinity? Like up in North Carolina, I thinks its in, its called, Wake Forest University, which offers the 4-year education, and then you could choose to attend their schools of law, medicine, or Theology. I don't know a lot about them, yet. And I'm so cheap, that I'm thinking to pay to learn about Jesus, is sort of like...no! For that, I read the Bible over and over again, read the commentary of Martin Luther, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Spurgeon.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, before I got into my snappy comment, I hope you do end up doing something that glorifies God! For real, that would be amazing!
Lol Oh, no, I'll probably be one. I just don't know for sure, yet. And yeah, I don't fully get the idea of paying to study Christ, it's possible to just do it yourself with other resources :/
DeleteYes, it would be :D
Wow! Seems like you've really thought about this! It's good to know that you have a plan. (more than I've got. Mine's is: get accepted to college, go to college, do college, graduate, and the rest doesn't have a order. Get a job with the CDC, get married, get a house)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed (and a bit scared) to see you growing up so much!
-wipes away tear- They grow up so fast
DeletexD You know what I'm thinkin' when you mention "married" lol
DeleteLol Thanks xD
Geez. Out of context, I don't think that has the meaning you intended. XD
DeleteNo problem
Huh. Yeah. It doesn't lol
DeleteXD
DeleteWell, just know that I have faith in you being able to accomplish anything you put your mind to, and I really hope college works out for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ash :D I appreciate the confidence, even if I don't share it
