Future

So of course I took a break from all of this for finals so no one hate

But now it's time for Spring Break so it's going to be good.  A great way to let off some steam, spend some time with the girlfriend, and see a couple friends.  Even if it won't be warm in the least, but i guess that's what I get for living in Cleveland.  And as the summer draws nearer I get more excited and more anxious about the future.


In the short run, for those of you studying economics, there are things that remain constant, such as where I live, where and what I'm studying, my marital status Haha.  But something that is not constant is my job situation.  As in, right now I do not have one and would like that to change in the short run so i am not an extra-poor college boy and am able to do something legitimate, or at least something that takes the edge off the finances.  But my mom is reassuring me that we'll manage if we have too - but that's never something that promising right? Right. I've been raised to be the kind of person to want to help and I want to help - and we all know that if I don't have a job this summer I'll probably lose my mind.  There is of course only so much I can do in Cleveland, and when those 3 hours it takes to do all those things passes what am I supposed to do?

The long run is all variable, and some parts of it are somewhat more comforting to me - assuming everything goes as well as I'd like it to go.  Of course I came into this school year optimistic.  Optimistic that I'm going to pass both the actuarial exams I take this year.  Well one failure later has lessened that goal to passing only one actuarial exam and that's going to be at the end of Spring Quarter.  But I'm still going to be here for a total of 4 years and ideally I only have to pass 2 exams to have a good chance for a job so I'm going to study my ass off and get those exams done.  And then - assuming i pass those exams - I'll have a job after I graduate - and starting salaries for actuaries - not bad, not bad at all. So hopefully all of this will be worth it.


There's something else to think about when it comes to the future, and sometimes this idea is more terrifying than anything above - marriage.   When we were all younger everyone told us when we get older we'll get married, have kids, start a family, the basics. But now - we're in college, and you know what that means? - Older is here.  People are getting married younger and younger nowadays and well - our time is now.  So my advice? Go marry someone now! Ha - Just kidding.  But it's a crazy thought isn't it?  Those of us (myself included) who may be in long term relationships - there's a probability that you guys will get married.  Freaking out yet? Depends on how much you wanted to achieve by now.  Oh well.  


Lastly, all I really have to say is good luck - good luck on any exams, on any summer plans, on any relationships you might be in, and whatever else you might need luck for.


Thanks.
