It is Thursday, December 9th. Currently congratulating myself for jumping on a platform of the future. Since i was a child, becoming a veterinarian was my only dream. I graduated undergrad in 2020 and have since finished my prerequisites. Actually, its finals week so i’ll be taking my last exam on Sunday. While i finished up my classes, i received UIUC’s decision letter and i was denied. Literally what the fuck. “stay in school” they say.. “it’ll pay off” they said.. the thing is no one makes a decent salary working with animals unless you’re a veterinarian. I’m not doing it for the money but i refuse to get paid minimum wage to pick up dog poop or torture animals in a lab. Currently waiting to hear back from Colorado state, but at this point i don’t even want to take the final. I am burnt out and definitely do not want to start my adult life being 120k in debt. So here i am, blogging my little heart away to jump on the bandwagon. I started investing at the end of the year in 2019. It started with the stock market, but crypto quickly stole my attention. I have sold most of my positions at this point because i’ve been a student most of my 24 years of life. Currently holding 2 positions that i don’t plan on selling for AT LEAST 5 years. I hold staked Etherium and the former meme coin, Safemoon. Not sure what will happen because they are currently trying to regulate crypto BUT if all goes to plan in 5 years my 2k will be a 200k? 2M? let hope. Now begs the question, do i forget about spending my life at another 4 year institution to recover from 120k of debt loan years after, or do i start my tech/crypto/web3 adventure for a more free feeling life? or both? Thinks are moving quickly, and i have a feeling this transition is going to be the biggest transition i’ve had in life so far.

So here’s the plan. Find a job and use that money to continue investing in crypto, 75 dollars a week to start. RESEARCH everything i need to know about Web3, the metaverse’s role in web3, and start taking free course available by google, linked in, Harvard etc. Adobe. learn adobe. Befriend a mentor and stay consistent until i come up with a better idea. I want to start BUILDING my life. It feels like shit to go to school for almost 22 years of your life just to be rejected. I don’t have a say in my future with the education system, it’s up to them to make me a slave to corporate America and i’m tired of waiting.

Current me is a MESS but future me, you got this.
