Have my big adventure

I am planning to scare up some money by the time spring break rolls around and have me an adventure.

My big adventure isn’t going to happen for another two years, most likely. My money situation has changed (like every other American citizen) and it’s become far more important (financially) for me to graduate ASAP than for me to have a big adventure as soon as I would like to have it. Call me overdramatic for using this terminology, but my soul is aching from that knowledge, because I completely understand and agree that it’s better to wait, but with every fiber of my being, I’m dying to do something exciting or even just something that’s interesting to me…

Perhaps, instead of dwelling on the fact that I won’t have my big adventure for awhile, I could view this as a time to have lots of small adventures.
Suggestions are not only welcomed, they are encouraged.

I went to a channeling two weeks ago led by the woman my mom studies under that identified some of the biggest struggles I’ve been having over the past year or two. Despite the fact that I craved to go to school out of state, I ended up going to a school half an hour away from my hometown because I felt that it offered things I wanted to pursue. Years later, I’ve had plenty of good experiences but plenty of disappointment with my decision. I suppose I wouldn’t mind finishing out my degree at this school, but I feel lonely and restless half of the time I’m there, and feel even worse about school when I go home and really think about it.
So during the channeling, we were able to ask the spirit guides or whatever you want to call them (the woman who was doing the channeling referred to them as “spooks”) a question or two on whatever subject we wanted. I said I was having difficulty finding my purpose or my role, and was wondering what next step I should take and how I should go about taking it (I also wanted to ask who I should surround myself with during the next step, but chose not to at the last minute because I thought it would be too many questions at once).
The spooks responded that I needed to break away from home and family, while learning to find home elsewhere. They told me I was at the tipping point in my life, and I needed to have an adventure. They said they saw the Northwest, specifically Seattle, as a particularly good place for me to go, and told me I should look into doing some sort of retreat or experience with women being raw, perhaps in the wilderness. They then proceeded to answer my unspoken “who” by telling me to surround myself with mentor figures, women I can really learn from.
I’m sure some people think I’m crazy for believing this experience, but everything they said resonated with me. The adventure they mentioned that I’m supposed to take in the Northwest with women being real shocked me a little, because (without telling a soul) I had been looking into visiting and possibly taking a retreat with Buddhist nuns in a temple located in the Northwest.
Now I’m making some big decisions as to what I want to do. I want to have this big adventure soon, because I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin waiting to do it. If I do it soon, however, I have to decide whether or not I want to do it with my family’s support. If I do that, I will have to wait until summer to take off so it won’t interfere with school. To go without support would mean moving to a different city when I got done traveling (which I don’t want to do), so I’m probably going to take the easier route and finish up my degree in the university I chose while traveling during the summer.
The wisps of a plan that I’ve formulated thus far include staying with a friend who lives in Seattle, staying with another friend on a ranch in Montana, and (if someone gets back to me) taking a retreat at the aforementioned temple. It’s a start, if nothing else.
