Life after school.

How I see my current situation

Life without a scheduled activity is brutal. You think you enjoy life without school, and maybe you do, because you like having "freedom" to do whatever you want. I'll admit that it's nice not having to leave your house to go to campus or school, sit in seat for a couple of hours and listen to someone talk at you as you attempt to learn. However, out of school you also miss the regular human interaction with your peers and friends, the indirect interactions and company of strangers, and routine. 

More often than not I hear people saying they don't like to be controlled by a schedule, but in all reality, I think human beings thrive off of a routine. I find productivity is enhanced when you have a schedule to follow. 

Freedom is pretty bland unless you're doing something productive with it. What's the point of freedom if you're just bumming around without a purpose? Freedom is enjoyed at its best when there are guidelines to direct your time. The best analogy to freedom is playing any form of board game or sport; without rules of some sort a game is just no fun. 

I need a schedule, I need a routine. The feeling of wasting time without having a goal or purpose to work towards is so empty and boring. To me, it's like the equivalent of how I feel after eating McDonalds: crappy and lazy.

My solution every time I come to a point in my life where there's no school or work is to set up some goals. My next step is to create a schedule where each day I do something that contributes to achieving my goals. Focusing my time and creating a schedule helps me accomplish more in a day. 

Sooo, while I look for jobs, I'm hoping to use my time as productively as possible. 

Happy Thursday peeps.
