Only read this when you are really really bored. I wrote it only for myself, to clear my thoughts. There are no pictures in it. And it's long!

What to do after I got my bachelor's degree in a year?

Options are:

1. do the master that belongs to the bachelor
2. do a master that belongs to the bachelor, but on a different university
3. do another bachelor, that has different (as in: more fun) career prospectives

If I will do a master that follows my current bachelor, I will become a researcher. But I don't think it's a fun occupation. Many of the research that is being done, doesn't lead to any actual change. There are absolutely many researchers who do great things, who do something great for many people, change their lives to the better. That takes a lot of work. You have to follow strict rules. Your single research is not enough, it has to be checked by multiple other researchers. I don't think I would like doing that the rest of my life.
There are other jobs I could do. But I am not even considering those, I did not when I chose this study, I still don't. I am not interested in them at all. And that's OK.
That is why I am considering doing another bachelor, that has different career prospectives. I was thinking about a language. That is quite funny because when I had to choose a study at high school, I considered English Language and Culture. I didn't do it because in the end, I was more interested in biology (I still am interested in it, a lot! that's is not the problem). But I also thought: what can you do after that? Translator, interpreter... that's pretty much it, that should be boring after some time. And now I am considering it again, because of the reason I did nót do it back then. But now I know there are more options besides translator and interpreter. Journalist for example, or editor. And I would like to do that.
But that's what I think now, and I do not know if I will think the same in a couple of months. I will have to think about this thoroughly, and I hope writing this down helps me. Especially since it has become such a long long story...

I'm listening a lot to Florence and the Machine at the moment. They have a harp in their band. Amazing. It adds so much to their -already beautiful- music. Also, I love her hair. And the way she can wear crazy clothes and still look good, instead of.. well, crazy.

I like this song because it is just so cute and lovely and simple. Jack Johnson - Belle Oi lienda Bella che fa? Bonita, bonita que tal? But belle Je ne comprend pas francais So you'll have to speak to me Some other way

I never really paid attention to lyrics of songs, but I recently started to appreciate them. Sometimes they are really beautiful. It can make a good song into a great song. I like songs that are not about love, because they are by definition original. I also like original lovesongs. I don't like songs that have just a lot of clichés. There are too much of those kind of songs already.

I hate words/phrases like: like you know kinda Example: "He was like, you know, kinda stupid." So then why do I use the Dutch equivalents of them zo often?

Book tip for Dutch people: 'Taal is zegt maar echt mijn ding' door Paulien Cornelisse.

Very funny. Also confronting since most of it is very recognisable...
