<p>That Yosemite thing sounds really cool. </p>
<p>It will teach you more about life and practical knowledge than any classroom. If you are interested in the South Africa trip, go for it. Again, that will teach you much more than any stupid course.</p>
<p>Don’t pay attention to that “you’ll be a professional student” garbage. So what if you graduate a year later? When you are 55, do you think it will matter if you graduated at 22 instead of 21?</p>
<p>All I would say is starting figuring out what major you want and stick with it. Eventually, look into internships that are related to that job. Other than that, you sound like you are a very outgoing person who takes on challenges and new experiences.</p>
<p>I had the opportunity to travel alot, and it was the most educational experience of my life. I learned more traveling than I did in any of my courses.</p>
<p>I’m really jealous about that semester in Yosemite - SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!</p>
