Butler University


I truly dislike making decisions.....

So right now I am making some pretty intense and big decisions for my future.  Basically, in the next few weeks I will be planning out the rest of my time at Butler, and as you can tell from the title of my blog....I am really not a fan of making decisions.  If I never had to make a decision ever again, that would be totally fine with me!  So my big decision that I am trying to make is if I want to study in Washington D.C. for a semester or not.  When I first came to Butler, I really wanted to study abroad, but then as time went on, I realized that studying abroad just wasn't for me, but that studying in D.C. just might be!  The cool thing about the D.C. program is that everyone who goes there gets an internship.  You only take two classes, and the rest of the time you work at your internship and you just enjoy life in D.C!  So a few weeks ago, I met with the person in charge of the D.C. program here at Butler, and she gave me all the details about the program.  Basically, I fell in love with it.  The whole idea of living and working in D.C. is just very appealing to me because I love politics, and thats kind of the central hub for U.S. politics you know, and so many other things are based there as well!  So I was really excited, and feeling great.....but then I started to second guess myself. 

I'm starting to have a more positive thought process about this whole situation, and I feel lucky to want to do too many things, and to have so many options.  One thing that makes me wonder if I want to go is the thought of leaving Butler.  It just makes me really sad to think that I wouldn't be here for an entire semester, and to think of the things I would be missing out on.  I am really looking forward to potentially holding leadership positions in different groups on campus, and some of those opportunities wouldn't even be possible if I was in D.C. for a whole semester.  There are also SOO many ideas for internships that I have, and they are all here in Indy.  So even though I'm sure that I could get an awesome one in D.C., I am rather confident that some way or another I will have a cool one here too!  Of course I am nervous to leave Indiana and all of my family too, because as you might have read in one of my last blogs, most of my family does live here.  But still, living and working in D.C. would be a GREAT experience that I'm sure that I would love......so yeah, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, but of course my thoughts are kind of leaning towards one option.....but I'm not going to tell you which one yet!!!!  You wil just have to keep reading my blogs for that.... :) 

So as I make my decision, I of course keep thinking of how beautiful Butler is, and how beautiful D.C. is.....and who knew that they looked so similar!!!  Ok, they aren't really really similar....but they sort of are...right?
