Decisons

Lately it's all been coming down around my head. The fact that I'm going to be graduating in August, and as yet, have no plans for the future. I've always lived according to what I thought was the think to do, but now I'm not so sure. There are tons of paths. There are a couple that stand out to me.

I could go straight from college, go to work for some monster company: make money, have my own place and finally get the boston terrier puppy that I hav always wanted.
I could go to travel for a while, I've always wanted to go live in Ireland and have my own place where I could walk to the local pub and hang out while listening to the sounds of a lively irish jig.
I could go work for a smaller company, get a loan and a small place and my puppy. It wouldn't be big city crazy, but I don't know if that's really for me anyways.

I could go work for the peace corp or something equally helpful to mankind. I've always loved helping other people.

The problem that I'm running into is that I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I don't know what road/path is mine. Is it the highway that is always rushing towards the big city and the bigger picture? the gravel path that winds and curves around hills? or is it the one that is a small town street filled with waving friendly people? or one in a foreign city I've never seen.
Yeah, this is pretty heavy stuff for my first entry in my blog, but when is a better time? I just thought I'd send these thoughts that have been troubling me into the great wide world and hope that an answer comes back to me. I know that I'm not the only one to come to this fork, but I just wish someone would tell me how they made their decision. That's what I want. If anyone reads this, let me know, not what decision I should make, but rather, how to make it. Sage advice is what I seek. Thanks, til later. ~Tiffany

I got married and had a kid in high school...I went straight from being a high schooler to being a homemaker. It's soooo not for everyone. :-)

My decisions were mostly based on my current situation at that time...basically I went with my heart. That's what I'd recommend. Do what you WANT, so that later you'll have a great story for the grandkids...or just random kids on the street you force to listen to you.
