So first Lets go through some highlights of the past few months..
1. Completed my Junior year of college! Yes it was DEFINITELY the hardest year. BY FAR. However I was able to drag myself out of the trenches, barely hanging onto the confidence and pride I knew as a wide eyed freshmen. However I think I have now really gotten the hang of this college thing (cue curve balls).
2. I turned 20 yesterday. It doesn't really feel different except the fact that I will never be a teenager again, that is kind of weird. I feel an intense need to get my life together and be a more adultier adult. You know the kind that doesn't accidentally put her shirt on inside out or try to lock her house with her car clicker. That kind of adult. (UPDATE: I was just informed by a reader that there is no such thing and at 30 years old she still does this. YOU HAVE HAD ME FOOLED.)
Now lets go through some future plans updates...
First of all let me say that I know a lot of people laugh when young adults try to talk about their future plans and write them off as "dreams" or "goals" BUT, seeing as though I have kept my plans relatively the same for going on 6 years now I feel that this is one aspect of my life I have earned the right to talk about my future plans as though they will actually be happening.
1. So anyone who has known me the past 6 years knows that I plan on graduating with my undergraduates degree, going to seminary, becoming an ordained minister of the UMC, then going on to do mission work and then hopefully being the associate pastor of a UMC in the Louisiana Conference.
NOW, there has been little to no change to that plan but here is my rough outline.
1. Graduate with my Bachelors Degree in Marketing and a Minor in Communication Studies
2. Emory/Candler in Atlanta Georgia for a double Masters in Business Administration and Master of Divinity.
3.Strive towards becoming Ordained and then hopefully, possibly, maybe work for UMCOR.
I have been feeling a HUGE call to mission work the past 2-3 years to the point I have considered moving to Africa and working with the UMC groups there. My heart is just with missions. So I do not know what that will look like later on in life but I have an itch in my toes to get going.
With all this being said that is basically as far as I have gotten with my future life plans. Right now the immediate goal is to graduate from undergraduate school with a decent GPA. I still have about 3 semesters left because I changed my major as a Junior. I know, I am crazy, but my school took away the concentration for the degree I was working towards and it left me in a degree field that no longer interested me so I changed to Marketing where I am much more happy and feel as though I am working towards something that will actually be useful to me in ministry later on in life.
