Feist is pretty much my favorite to listen to when it gets close to the Christmas season. I can't really explain it but she just gives me that feeling. So now that it's after Halloween it's more appropriate to listen to Christmas-like music. This one is from her album Let it Die, a song called "Mushaboom" the first song I ever heard by her because I heard Conor Oberst's cover of it.
Well now that I'm freaking out about graduation and having a career, I find this song to be very fitting. I have a lot of big dreams for my life, and I feel like lately I've been really living out of my means. It didn't really hit me until last year, going in to Junior year of college that I realized HOW MUCH debt I was already in. Yes, it was the better decision to go to an extremely expensive Liberal Arts school instead of a state school and it is still a better option. But, part of me wishes that I would have done community college and gotten an associate's degree until I could pay for my education.
I know it will be worth it when I finally land a position because of the connections I have made here, but I'm still nervous as hell that it won't be for a very long time. I know I've been able to do A LOT of things through this school and I am so thankful for those things. I should just appreciate what I've been dealt with and take the debt as it comes. Maybe one day I will actually be able to travel to New Zealand with my best friend to see a girl that after two weeks, I felt like I knew better than most people in my life. It may not be a year after I graduate from undergrad but maybe sometime in the future. Here's to hoping that at least this dream will come true.
ooh ooh, that's me!
