I am about to drop mad money.
Money that I currently have saved up for one trip, but will be spending to reserve my spot on another trip, this one for class. I have no job officially lined up yet, and have no guarantee that I will be able to make back the money I am about to spend, not to even mention make the rest of the money needed to pay for the second trip. Once I give the school the money, there is no getting it back, so I keep asking myself, is this a foolish idea, an advantageous risk that I am about to embark on?
I have been saving this money for ages, and have never spent this much at once before, it's a new experience. How do adults handle it? My Anthropology professor would say that I am going from a safety seeking to excitement seeking position on life. How common is it to cross between the two, and once I do, will I be able to cross back, or find some happy middle ground? Who knows, but here's to hoping that good luck comes to those who seek it out.
