I still haven’t found my purpose in my life. I’d like to think being an accounts payable slash payroll clerk is fulfilling in the mean time but the truth is it’s not. I have always toyed with the idea of going back to school and I even purchased some GRE study guides but I never sat down and studied.

For some reason April has been my new year. It has given me many struggles and from that given me the opportunity to learn. I decided I wanted to go to Grad School, I want to study for the GRE and I want to kick its ass. I will admit that I am not the smartest person out there and sometimes I get downright confused but I know I can do this. I want to apply to anywhere between 5-10 schools and so far I have 4 schools. They are my dream schools and even though I am not entirely qualified, the only thing I have to lose is my application fee.

1. Oxford
2. Columbia
3. Cambridge
4. UCSD

After that, I’m lost. The prospect of settling is so overwhelming that I cannot seem to choose my back-up (read: realistic) schools. I guess I want to be somebody in life. Not the person who everyone knows or whose name is in the headlines. I want to be a person whose presence can command attention and is respected. I have a long way to go but I think Grad School will help mature and finesse my awkward social skills.

Here’s to April being my new year!
