I am dreading returning to The District, but at the same time, I know it will allow me to lead a much more exciting life than I am currently. Because right now my life consists of lying in my bed for hours contemplating what to do with the day and my entire future, which then causes me to spiral down deep into a pit of distress. Obviously, that is not a fate anyone should suffer. 

I know everything is going to turn out fine. I’m hopefully going to transfer to one of the sunny schools I’ve chosen to apply to. Then, I’ll be that much closer to becoming a teacher, which I am so glad I’ve discovered is my dream. It just feels right to even think about. And that’s nice. I don’t even care that it doesn’t pay much. A contentedness with my career seems far more important than money. Money just stresses me out. But I’ll figure all that out too, eventually.
