Future

The future, for me, is somewhat uncertain at this time. I think I'm heading down the right path, because nothing has told me I was wrong yet. One would think that if I was headed in the dead wrong direction I would know already. As for where I'm headed, I have no clue. I hope to go to college and get a lucrative career. I have no intention of being a bum, but I'm willing to ride the wave where it takes me. If I decide to abandon my college plans, I do have a backup. I think my best option would be to jump on a passing train at midnight and go for the ride. I could embark on an odyssey where I overcome diversity and learn more about myself then I ever knew before. I could live out the rest of my life as a train-hopper, meeting new people and trying tons of new things. Think, where would you be if you chose this path? You'd probably be some awesome local hero with tons of cool stories to tell your grandkids. Problem is, to have grandkids, you would have to get married, and there seems to be a shortage of female train-hoppers. Despite this minor issue, you have to admit, it would still be pretty awesome! Or you could take the safe path and get a good education. Then you could get a job conducting a train and spend your day fantasizing about how sweet your life would be if you would have just gotten on that train that night your senior year.
