So I'm graduating in May...

Graduation. Possibly the worst thing to ever happen to a college student. You spend four years getting comfortable, making friends, finding the best places to get coffee or cheap food and then they throw you out on the street with a BA in Definitelywontbegettingajob
 
Now you're expected to be on your own without any money or experience. Well, I say "Fuck it." Sure I will apply to places this semester and during the summer but I have a few things I want to do before I am forced into slave labor for the next 40+ years of my life.

Ten Things I Want to do Before I Get A Job:

1. Travel. England, Italy, Amsterdam, France, Ireland, Germany, Australia. I'll take just a few right now. I just want to experience other cultures.

2. Finish all of the books that remain unread on my bookshelf.

3. Learn guitar. Took some lessons last summer. I'm basically retarded when it comes to the guitar, but I want to at least have 5 songs I can play/ remember how to play.

4. Visit my high school and play Viola again. My orchestra teacher of six years passed away last year and I hadn't seen him for two years before that. All of the alumni are invited back any time since an alumni filled his spot permanently. 

5. Gain skills that will be useful in my career. Copy-editing, proof-reading, whatever. I just don't want to go in blind.

6.Visit Harry Potter World!

7. Find a relatively cheap apartment in Brooklyn or Queens so my eventual commute doesn't suck so bad.

8. Play Kingdom Hearts 3. I hope I have a job by the time this game is out because if not I'll be broke as fuck but either way, I'll have to make time for it.

9. Finally beat KH 358/2. I'm in the last few hours of game play but I'm stuck. God damn you, huge pterodactyl in Neverland.

10. Go to Comic-con in a sick cosplay.  

Me thinking about my impending doom and the reality that I probably won't accomplish at least half of this list:
