Quote of the day

- Once in a while, it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they have been told to-
              -Alan Kneightley

No clue who that is, but I got this from a book and blog site I read called The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. He lives unconventionally and is trying to travel to every country in the world before his thirty-fifth birthday. He is self-employed and is teaching others about living differently than how you are told to growing up.  I find his words and ideas very exciting. I think I am still in the "I want to, but..." stage of things, but I hope to grow out of it and start my own way. Or maybe I already am and just not realizing it yet. I graduate in May and I have absolutely no clue what I want to set my goals of reaching career-wise. I just want to go with wherever things can take me. I do know I want something exciting and I want to make enough money to pay for my necessities AND my dreams to accomplish ( creating crazy art that costs money, traveling to all the countries and places I want to, get a house, car, family, have loads of fun times throughout the year, etc.). I just haven't figured out how to get there quite yet.
    I do know that Chris would probably love the idea of New College, it fits into his alternative ways of living and learning and seeing the world.
