The Future
The subtitle of this tumblr reads “everyone should have their own time machine.” That’s pretty vague. What I meant was this tumblr serves as a web-record of some things I laugh at, some things I find pretty, some things I want to own, and/or some things I’ve felt but someone else expressed better than I could. It usually exists in the past, as they are things I want to be able to go BACK to, should I ever feel like it.
But lately, I’ve been obsessing over the future. Because, you see, I’m about to graduate college.
This has me very anxious; I don’t know what I’m going to be doing with myself! I am apprehensive to enter an adult world that I feel tremendously unprepared for, and have no clue how to navigate.
Today I received a letter from my university congratulating me on my graduation, and confirming with me what my diploma will state as my degree: BA in English Literature.
And right underneath that information were three blanks where I suppose a more ambitious student would have had minors. Minors! Shit.
But… I could do a minor. If I were willing to stay at the university for another Fall semester, delaying my graduation.
Would that be so bad, internet? It would allow me to firm up my admittedly lax GPA, and I would get a minor in Italian in the process. These things might come in handy if I ever decide I want to go to graduate school.
What do you think? Worth it?

The downside, you already ARE an adult. The upside, adults get to travel solo to faraway places and then you flirt in their mother tongue.

short version: Minors are insignificant, but if you want to be in school longer, go for it. I don’t have one. Jobs don’t look at your minor.
