like eventually i want to be a history professor but. like do people go to like high ranking schools just for a bachelors to teach grade school history to kiddos
#like im interested in nyu but because 1) nobodys walked me through academia or explained anything so im only familiar with The Big Schools
#and b) i spent my first 18 years thinking i was a dumbass and an academic flunk so now i feel like i have to prove im Not by going to like
#the biggest school that accepts people with no highschool transcript or standardized testing records
#like. hi <3 i experienced severe educational neglect and thought i was a nimrod but will you accept me into your prestigious school
#oh interesting goals that would bring you a good reputation should i become an alumnus?
#no im just planning on being a suburban history teacher but not before i Prove myself :3
#but like. fr inhad no end goal in mind until recently i realized like. i love explaining things to people i love history i love kids
#AND i find myself fantasizing about teaching shit to people
#so ...
#and idk when i was in highschool i had to goals i thought i was gonna kick it before i got out
#and any idea of s future i had was like. you know when youre a kid and you think 'im gonna do [far fetched dream] when i grow up!'
#ok. image of Grown Up Sia being in a band. trap that in amber and carry that around. that was my idea of a Future. like i couldnt imagine
#anynother scenarios i didnt know HOW to imagine any other scenarios that old ones i recalled ffom when i was a kid
#but here i am! and its not something big or grand or great its just. underrated unimpressive shitty pay active shooter risk quiet life
#but i WANT it not just fanatasize i WANT it. and idk like some Big school i feel like would. idk im worried about pushing myself into smth
#that on my resume would make me 'overqualified' and like im not saying i THINK ill get into nyu but like.
#theres such DISSONANCE between what i aim for academically and how much of that is useful for the simple career i want
#like being part of 3 honors societies probably isnt necessary for a history teacher. could come in handy for getting a masters and so on
#but. yeah like im fortunate enough to be doing well academically but truth betold i have no fucking clue what im doing here.
