In less than a month I'll be turning 20, the so-called best years of life are here. From where I'm standing this next decade seems promising as I am unraveling who I am and who I want to become.

I'm often already asked what my post-graduation plans consist of, I can answer the question without hesitation, but can't find myself believing my plans will remain unchanged.

If being in college has taught me anything is how often plans change. As difficult as it may be, I'm welcoming the changes that will follow these upcoming year(s).

In fact, the last two years proved that I might think I know what I want but unexpectedly drift and change my mind. But I'm thankful for all the changes that happened because I probably wouldn't have learned or experienced half of what I hold on to now. And honestly, there is nothing more rewarding than gaining something you never even expected.

For instance, I have a set of goals I'd like to accomplish these next few years, but even my plans contain a lot of uncertainty. However, I'm more than dedicated to teaching sometime, becoming an excellent public speaker, and to continue writing. None of these goals hold a linear path on purpose; ironically I plan not to have one and would rather see what my next two years of college has in store for me.

As you see, my plans are vague because I refuse to make a detailed idea of how my life should turn out, instead I'd like to explore my options and be optimistic.

So, until then, I welcome my 20's with a heart full of hope, that I head towards what I love best.

And besides, if our 20's are really meant to be the best years of our lives then, I'm ready to live to the fullest and learn from the many opportunities that may come.
