If your idea of meditation is taking deep breaths before taking shots…

I have been looking forward to this adventurous time in my life for so long since I have always felt that I was a fish out of water when it came to this school of fish. In the past, I would vent to my family about how I just wanted to be out in the real world and caused many jaws to drop when I told my friends that I was excited to be moving on.

What do you see yourself doing in the future?
Oh, the dreaded, overwhelming question many college students are asked. I am constantly asked this mind-boggling question from my family, friends and professors.
