I cannot stand still

My mom doesn't know this, or has at least spoken about it. But I have been depressed lately. It not some biological thing that I'd need zannax for or whatever. It's not like I don't know why. I know exactly why. I'm pissed off because I'm in stinking texas while I should be in the big windy city. I miss the city life and even though I was only there for a month, a month is plenty of time to fall in love.
While being depressed won't help my life, I decided to counter this feeling. I decided that I am a man that needs many cultures. Wanting to be a journalist, this goes with the career. I've wondered for a long time about living abroad. Not temporarily. Well, yeah just not coming back. You know how a frenchman comes to live in the states. How many Americans go live in other countries? I dunno, that just excites me.
My plan is to finish my AA here which will be about a year, then go to UNT or Austin and try hard to get into a Californian school or north eastern school for grad school. While I know for grad school it wouldn't be terribly hard to get into, but I need to find a way to pay a full ride. I've learned what happens when you get into college but don't have enough money to pay for college.
But yes, I'm compiling a list of places I want to live in. Not wanting to get married until around 35 or so will help me in that area. I dunno, I just want to complete my life goals like college, gold medal, becoming president of the united states... you know stuff life that.
Plus when it comes to family, I don't want to have to worry about being able to afford it. Plus, at 21 I still have years of maturing and growing up to do. I have no idea what it takes to raise a family and I don't want to fail.
