Co-op, Life, Ramblings

Anyone familiar with Northeastern University has probably heard of the co-op program. If you're not familiar with it, it is a part of Northeastern's 'experiential learning' and is basically a six month internship where students are not taking any classes and working a full time job instead.
I am currently on co-op. My third and final co-op to be more specific.

I am so sick of sitting at a computer eight hours a day. Now don't get me wrong, I love being on a computer (blogger, duh) but I like to take breaks and have other options available to me. So at this co-op I sit, type, stare a blinding screen, and wish that I wasn't working in a windowless office space.(I also write blog posts which I'm pretty sure aren't a part of my daily tasks)

One good thing about doing all these co-ops is that I now know what I do not want to do with my life, and I know a bit of what I do want to do.

 Do Not Want:

• Desk Job
• Windowless room
• Robo calling (horrifying experience)

 Do Want:

• Access the outdoors
• Interaction with people besides my coworkers
• Movement
• Fun (But doesn't everyone)
• The ability to continuous learn new skills 
• To be challenged intellectually

Now how the heck do I find any of this!? I've been thinking of potential careers for when I graduate next May (2013) and that just leads to a whole other list of  "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO"s.

Should I move and work abroad like I always dreamed? How will I work abroad when I only speak mediocre French? Do I get an apartment in Boston and find a dead end job to pay back my mountains of loans? Can I actually afford to not move back in with my parents? OMG what if I have to move in with my parents?! How long could I last before offing myself if I lived with them? Should I just teach English so I can travel? What if I start dating someone? Do I bring them into the picture as well? Should I not move abroad but get out of New England? Maybe California? But how would I afford that?

And the list of questions goes on and on....trust me you don't want to know them.

This is the first time in my (short) life that I don't know what I'm going to do next. It's also the first time my next step won't revolve completely around my education.

So for some more background information on me regarding co-ops:

- My first co-op involved living/working in Ankara, Turkey for 6 months teaching English at TOBB University

-My second co-op was with Northeastern University as an Admissions Counselor

-For my third one I am working at a non-profit International Exchange Organization for High School students.

So I could easily work as an Admissions Counselor for a University or get my TEFL certification and become an ESL Teacher.

UGH, LIFE.

I know I have over a year before I graduate but I am stressing hard core about this. How do people get through this!
