The two-year itch

Another two years has past and there it is.

The need to change something. To move somewhere new. To change jobs. To shake it up.

It’s very common in the United States due to the intervals of our education system.

Two years of middle school, two years of lower class, two years of upper class, two years of general education, two years of our major degree program, two years of masters degree, or in DC program, two years of general science, two years of clinical application.

I also think that a year of anything brings inherently new experiences with a trip around the sun. That environment during different seasons, holidays, etc. The second year brings inherent redundancy unless we shake it up ourselves. The ability to shake up our environment OR perspective are skills worth cultivating in order to keep our needs for autonomy, creativity, and novelty met.
