-snip existential crisis-

for what it's worth, chilling in forests and / or visiting everywhere is pretty much a field biologist thing. hydrobiologists can get to visit more areas of the world if you manage to get into a project about fish from another region or reefs or something, and otherwise biologists can make ecosystem maps and look for / check out animals in other places, like zoologists or botanists.

i'd offer Latvian universities, but i don't think that any of them offer English speaking courses, so that majorly sucks if you're trying to keep up with studies ;; otherwise i think Tartu university in Estonia has a biology faculty that you could check out, it's supposed to be a pretty good university if you're willing to go anywhere.

God I feel you so much- I’m also working on figuring out my next step in my education and I’ve decided I’m going to apprentice, but it would be so nice to just chill in a forest or something. I don’t want to do anything ever lmao, so I really get u.

If you’re looking for advice, I’d suggest looking into skill jobs or trade school! Maybe something you can apprentice for instead of college is a nice even middle ground that still gets you a valid education in life, but isn’t more school. That’s what I’m doing so I just thought I’d suggest it haha. A lot of places don’t really tell you that’s an option bc they wanna push for college, but it totally is!!

god kaat.... me.....

when u realize the natural state of human existence IS to chill in a forest and walk around looking at things, life gets a whole lot sadder
for most people civilization has created an environment that is vvv detrimental to both physical and mental health

we’re just animals we need to be outside chilling by a river eating strawberries,,, THAT is the human condition,,,, not in a steel office building for the rest of our lives


i went to uni as “undecided” for my first year and just said “heck it” and went with a cyber security major
there’s this lie that we’re all peddled that we have to be super passionate about our jobs,,, that’s true for some people, and that’s awesome for them, but for most of us a job is. sucky


this way at least i can work really hard for a few years and then use that money to buy real estate and switch to total passive income (i.e no 9-5 at all. stock exchange is also passive but more risky tbh, tho lots of people i know made hella bank during covid)
we only have a short 90 years on this floating rock and i’m not going to spend all of my life slaving away for the almighty dollar,,

I'm graduating in about a week and I only just recently learned that scientific illustration is a career path you can take -- you can chill in nature or wherever and spend your time drawing whatever a museum/textbook/paleontologist/biologist needs you to draw. It also doesn't usually require any particular major, so you could go into whatever interests you without stressing about how it limits your job options.

By the way, you can 100% change majors during your schooling and it's super common to do so! No one know wth they're doing, I said I was pre law when I was applying LOL

Regardless I'm sending you good luck, there are exciting times ahead despite the stress :]
