Just had a realization...
Upon graduation I will no longer be a student.
Not being a student means I'm dropped by my parent's medical insurance.
Without medical insurance if something happens, especially while abroad, I'm screwed.
With an increased chance of being screwed, hopes of traveling extensively are reconsidered.
Reconsidering means I envelop myself in a career that limits my flexibility to do the things I want to do.
This is a real life plot point that will dictate the excitement of future chapters.
...guess I'll be investing in some good vitamins and accept the challenge of avoiding ailment at all non-costs :)
