I'm kind of lost here

Hello,
        My name is Turner and I am rekindling my love of writing with this blog. In my last semester of college I decided all English majors should take creative writing, so I signed up not knowing what I was getting myself into. The first day of class the teacher went over the syllabus and I was ready to drop the class, except I needed the hours to graduate. So I decided I would have to figure out writing and creating my own portfolio. As the class went on I fell in love with writing and critiquing others writing. It was way better than I expected. I wrote poetry and short stories about my summer in India, which allowed me to share my experiences throughout the summer to complete strangers. Having people in my class read my work was beyond intimidating, but they helped me grow as a writer.
        So saying all of that - here I am just graduated, working at Academy, and trying to find out what the next step is for me. I have applied to Journeymen, hoping I will be able to go over seas for two years, but I don't know if I'll get it. I have been studying for the MAT to possibly go to grad school? for ESL or Linguistics. I have also been looking at the Peace Corps. I am so unsure of my future, but I know I have to do something other than what I have been doing. Academy is okay for the most part, but retail isn't my forte. I desperately want to travel the world and help others, but I don't know how or when I will do it.
        Two of my best friends, Brittany and Grace, were both married recently while I am stuck in Decatur, working at Academy, and living with my mom. I feel rather stuck and useless while they are both progressing and moving on with their lives. Marriage is the next step in most girls lives, but I know I am not ready for marriage yet. I want to travel and explore life. It's just weird to have two friends married and I'm as single as they come. I feel like I'm left behind, but God is letting me be single so I can live without having to think of someone else I just need to take advantage of this gift, often seen as a curse.
        Well that is an introduction to my life and all my most common feelings and struggles. I hope I didn't run anyone off with my ramblings and scattered thoughts. I will try and post more about my random thoughts, opinions, life, and anything else that comes up.
