The real scary part of college is...
Doing all this work; trying to pass classes and receive good grades on papers and tests. And what for? To finish in 4 or 5 years to realize, "Oh shit, what next?" Struggling to find a job and trying to afford a shitty apartment, food to put on the table, electricity, doctor appointments, gas for the car, taxes, phone bill, air conditioning, entertainment, clothes, and other necessities that I missed.
And worse...
What if you plan to have a family? I will have to quadruple our income in order to make the American Dream a possible dream. Giving up the shitty apartment life up to find a suitable house where I can properly raise a family, and paying for all those expenses for a wife and children.
What if I told you...
That the American life isn't for me. Yes, I totally love the freedom of making my own decisions, but why must it come at such a pricey cost? I don't live by how much money I have and what materialistic possessions I own, I care about my sanity and happiness. And that is all I want. I don't want children nor a wife because if I am unable to take care of myself, why would I be so selfish to create a kid out of my own flesh and blood? What if I just want to travel cross country exploring all the cites and states while living in cheap motels? Cuz right now, that is what I want to do and what will make me happy.
