I was actually looking foward to graduating college, because it meant having a lot more freedom with what I do with my life. I can look back and see that I made sure I got school out of the way first. I can go anywhere, do anything (some restrictions apply, void where prohibited 
) Basically I wouldn’t have to worry about school anymore. If I really wanted to, I could apply to enter the graduate program at my college, or apply at various occupations I’ve been interested in which require a bachelor’s degree. I could also move out and finally be on my own, since right now school is the only thing tying me down.
Then I saw they were having auditions for The Bacchae. :eek: I really want to audition and hopefully be in the play; I spent too much of high school and college just letting things like this pass me by. I’d like to actually do something outside of school besides WORK that I can think fondly of later in life. The good news is that the rehearsals wouldn’t start until next semester, when I would already be finished with school. The bad news? Many of the job prospects conflict with when I would be rehearsing. Which means I would potentially miss out on the job if I had to spend all my evenings rehearsing. In addition, I’d have to schedule less hours on my existing jobs to accomodate rehearsals, which means I would make even less money than I do now. That would mean it would take even LONGER to pay off my credit card and get on my feet in terms of moving out.
The worst part is nothing is guaranteed. There is no promise of getting the job, getting the part, or being in a financial position to move out debt-free. So the future, for me, is plagued with uncertainty.
