before :: after

i don't want to be a useless piece of crap. i really think i want to go to grad school at nyu. i sort of wish i went there for undergrad, but ah, that's a whole different story, and

i just really don't want to be like

forty five and in a rut with nothing to show for myself but tacky draperies and mismatched throw pillows.

..

but okay i'd be fine with the mismatched throw pillows if it meant i couldn't afford any better because i was still paying off loans from getting an amazing education.
