What do ya'll think I should do?

I thought I'd take an informal poll on my blog. For this poll I'll present my options and I want you all to post your opinions in the comments (if you care to).

I'll be graduating in August. *gulp* And therefore have to decide what to do with my life after I graduate. Here are my options:

1. Grad School in the West (where most of the potential marriage options are and where I know more about Graduate Schools)
2. Grad School in the East (where I'm from and where my family is located but where most men are weirdies)
3. Full Time Job in the West (same reasoning as above except substitute "jobs" for graduate schools)
4. Full Time Job in the East (same reasoning as above)
5. Full Time Job in West while I prepare for Grad School
6. Full Time Job in East while I prepare for Grad School
7. Travel the world with money I don't have.
8. Go to Utah College of Massage Therapy and open up a shop afterwards.
9. Get a bunch of cats and hunker down- it's going to be a long life.
10. Take voice lessons and become a country music singer.

Ok, now you all get to decide. Put your first and second options if you wouldn't mind. Bring on the advice!

I'd go with option 5 first and then 1.

What are you graduating in?

Definitely I am voting for 9 and 10. But more seriously, I think that you should stay on the west coast. And apply for GRad school. And if not grad school, then get a job. And also pray about it.

how about option 11: join the circus!!!

okay...there must be a reason you don't want to join the circus, but come on babe, think of all the cool people/guys you would meet. ;)

however, if the circus doesn't want to take you (which they should...but if they don't) then you should stay on the west coast doing something that feels right. job, grad school, cats...whatever.

and if none of that works, then becoming a country singer would definitely work out for you.

loves!!

p.s. i graduate in April and have no idea what is happening. ;)

Grad school deadlines are coming fast if they have not yet whizzed by already, so ask yourself, "could I get my letters of recommendation? do I have hundreds of dollars? do I want to avoid stabbing my coworkers and classmates with pens out of sheer frustration?" Of course, if you applied for Winter '10, that would not be so stressful. If you have already formed a preconceived notion of how men are back east, and that is something important to you, that could be a reason to stay west of the Mississippi. However, I would advise getting out of Provo: California, Washington, Arizona . . . somewhere different is always good.

Oh, and as far as grad school, it really depends what you studied in your undergrad years, whether that will be useful. Your college advisement people could say better than I.
