Senior Year Panic
I graduate in May, barring a complete nervous breakdown before then.
I have insomnia, my procrastination has reached nearly-destructive levels, and I'm considering taking an Acting class.
The problem is, I have student loans looming in the distance, and I still haven't really figured out what I want to be when I grow up. Or if I want to grow up.
Well, that's not true...I know I don't want to grow up. But I know I have to.
And when I look through courses I can take next semester, I keep looking at classes I'll never have another chance to take...and they're all in totally new areas of study, instead of being actually useful. You know, like Intro to the Brain, Roman Art History, or Acting...
But maybe Acting could be useful? Help me with the confidence to present material to groups? Am I reaching with that? Yes, yes I am.
I'm too old to be so childish.
UPDATE: Oh, and also? I may be actually going through a mid-life crisis, because I am positive I need one of these.

Don't take the acting class; try to get an internship or a residency. In my experience, those wither turn into jobs, or put you in contact with people who are looking for new hires.

And you definitely need the Harley. And the leather.
