The Future of the Blog


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:

  1. 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.
  2. Actually, yeah, not much will change, except my schedule.
If I Can't Go To College:
  1. 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.
  2. I will focus a lot more on getting my driver's license. Obviously.
  3. 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.
  4. I might want to travel and visit friends from other states.
  5. 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:
  1. 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.
  2. I will at least try to appear on this blog. Sometimes. I'll make no promises, though.
  3. I will try to keep up with all the Marvel and Star Wars related content in the future.
  4. 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!

  1. 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.

    Anyway, before I got into my snappy comment, I hope you do end up doing something that glorifies God! For real, that would be amazing!

    1. 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 :/

      Yes, it would be :D

  2. 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)

    I'm impressed (and a bit scared) to see you growing up so much!

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
