"Social Casualty"

This is the name of one of the most relevant songs to my life right now. Not only is it by one of my favorite bands but the lyrics are exactly how I feel lately when I think about the future. 
The lyrics state, "So save me from who I'm supposed to be. 
Don't wanna be a victim of authority.
I'll always be a part of the minority." Which describes that the person being mentioned in the song does not want to live life doing something dull and ordinary. 
In my case, I'm actually terrified that as I get older and move on from high school, that I won't do anything memorable for myself. I don't want to accept the fate that I might go through college not being able to experience the world. I want to see the world and figure out what I want before I completely dive into college before discovering myself. Sadly, it's coming so fast and I don't have the time to figure out what I want. 
People tend to ask me what do you want to do in the future? I just say I want to travel. And I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. In all honesty, I may be nervous about where I want to go to school or what I want to major in or how much money I'm going to make, but in reality, I just don't want to live life in routine and completely hating the person I would become. Some say routine is inevitable, but I think finding myself through experiencing the world, seeing new places, and meeting new people, is not only something I long for, but something I want to do in college before settling for a basic job that I'll regret in 20 years.
