Six Word Memoir #4

Photo taken by me, Hannah.
This six word memoir represents my decision about my future. I dont know whether to go straight to school, or to travel first. I feel there are pros and cons to each.
Scared to go: If I do travel first, I dont know if I could find anyone to go with because most of the people I could see myself traveling well with are heading off to school right away. No break for traveling. But I have caught the travel bug and I really want to go everywhere I possibly can in the world.
Afraid to stay: If I go to school first, I feel I will want to jump into the career of my choosing right after university, which would mean I wouldn't travel and see all of the places I want to. Also, with school I am undecided about which school I'd like to attend. The universities here most likely don't even have the courses I'd need for the job I want. I have considered the exchange program, but I'm still confused. But I feel as though I should go to school first, I do enjoy learning and especially since I would get to take whatever I wanted in U1 which would be every interesting.
People say senior year is the best of the four years, don't listen to those people. They clearly dropped out of high school before they had to make these stressful decisions.

I chose this picture because I took it in London, when I was there a few years ago. The reason I chose it is because it represents travel. To me, this picture means one of the decisions I'll have to make. It's the travel decision. If I do decide to travel, I'd likely visit London again because my sister lives there and I'd definitely like to go back because I think it's a great place full of interesting people. I hope to find someone to travel with, but most of my friends have plans after high school. Either jobs or school or apprenticeships. If I were alone it would be fairly scary traveling without anyone. I definitely want to do a tour of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. On that tour you're with a lot of other people and you get to know them because you're traveling together on a bus, but it would be nice to have someone there I already know. Also it's difficult to find someone to travel with because you would be with them 24/7 and have to decide on things and get along well. You need someone you can really rely on and have fun with in order to travel with them. If you choose the wrong person, your entire trip may be nowhere near as great as it could be if you chose someone else. Hopefully I find someone in the same boat as me.
