F: Start a business with Kristin wherein we sing on the street corner and collect spare change.

But seriously, I'm struggling between (the essence of) choices B and C. Use my youthful exuberance to better the world in a tiny way or work a grunt job to get money and be well off to change the world later...it's a toughie.

Here's hoping others' votes are more decisive!

This requires a discussion! :) Which I can't wait to have w/you, three weeks and counting!

While I can't recommend a specific letter, I have some advice: make sure your next step is in line with what you love, even if it's just a baby step; make sure it will challenge you in some way; make sure it allows for a variety of paths afterwards; and above all make sure to listen to your gut (and, if the gut isn't talking, time will help).

Love you!
