yes, its true: i change my life plan more often than i change my socks...but i dont like to live a static life, so it all works out for me

well...because i am currently earning one of the most unique degrees offered --> astronomy (w/ a photography minor), i get asked like everyday what the hell i want to do with it.

answer: i honestly have noooo clue. and no, i do not want to take pictures of the stars, idiots. haha. in fact, i dont plan on using my photo degree in my career at all...im getting it simply because i enjoy art as a hobby and it lets employers know that i have creative talents beyond my book smarts. my real aspirations lay in math+physics though and i want to use those in my eventual career. seriously, i have the most interesting major ever...its just so mind-boggling + unexplored...gaaah. SOOO...since im dedicating like 10 years of my life to this in school, i figured i gotta find out what i wanna do in the long run at some point and i always have different ideas. well the plan this week is.....(drum roll, please)...

imma work top secret to study microbiotic molecules + possible life forms (aka ALIENS) at area 51 biatches!

but no, for real, i was reading an article on "our galaxy's collision with andromeda" in my astronomers magazine and it got me really interested in the scientific unknown of the universe...gaaah i sound like a crazy probably (and no im not talking about green-headed men, im talking about prebiotic molecules + gases on distint planets...although that could lead to green-headed men hahaha)

Anywho...I started looking for internships for astrophysics students and it led me to find out that that is exactly the kind of people top-secret places like area 51 hire...but its all super conifdential and you have to basically live in isolation + under constant watch.

but really...what else am i gonna do with a degree that teaches you about planetary atmospheres, nebulas, and random celestial objects besides work at nasa?
