<p>It sounds like you are trying to run up a total of “interesting experiences”. My question is how either South Africa or Yosemite are going to fit into your life after college. It almost seems like you have some sort of inability to focus long term on anything, you are just going with whatever sounds interesting at the time, without thought of any long term plan. College is a time to try things, but it has to be tempered with some sort of reality check, otherwise you will end up as a professional student.</p>
