Hey There
Hey! So I'm new to this, so I guess I'll tell you a little bit about me. I'm 23, 24 in July *I'm going to talk about it everyday until the day,* I graduated from college in 2006 and I'm still trying to figure out ways to go back. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer in college, and I still do, I just don't want to do anything that leads up to it. Right now, I'm working to pay the bills and keep my sanity.
Since graduating college I've moved out on my own and in with my best friend from childhood. Every adult in my life told me it was a bad idea, I should have listened. We're roommates now and friends second. But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.
One thing I have learned since graduating college is that I should have stayed as long as I could, and that the "real world" is a cold slap in the face. But I'm learning to fight back.
I'm still battling with the idea of what I wanna do when I grow up. I might have graduated from college, be living on my own, paying my own bills, but I am far from grown up and if I have any say, I will never grow up. But that's a whole 'nother story. So far I've wanted to be a nurse, a teacher, a veterinarian, and even a senator *that idea was influenced by things out of my control, I wasn't pouring the drinks.* You'd think I would have figured this out while I was in college and not years after. I was too busy being distracted by other things, and focusing on how not to grow up. Who needs to worry about the future when you have to figure out what you're doing that night?
So last night I find myself sitting around in the living room with my roommate and our three cats *which are sometimes referred to as the "crazy cat lady starter kit" by my good friends...jerks and I only own 1.5 of those cats* and watching the Women's network marathon of Bridezilla's. THIS IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA. My boyfriend hates that I watch this "crap" *his word not mine* I couldn't imagine why. But none the less, my newest idea is that I wanna be a wedding planner. But this time is different, I'm gonna do it. I'm serious. I've already done my research, who knew you could take a course in Bridal Consultation and become certified. I'm gonna do it, and I'll tell you about it later. Trust me.
So, while watching the Bridezilla's marathon might be good for my life plan, it is never good to watch if you are 20 something and in a "I-don't-know-what-to-call-it" relationship. I had to sit there, while I am dreaming of my future career; mind you, and listen to my roommate nag and complain about how men suck and this show is rigged. It's not, trust me. It made me wanna plan weddings, it's amazing.
So tonight, I'm going to cook dinner for my boyfriend, I hope he dones't leave me. Who knows, maybe I'll wanna be a chef if this goes well.
Ok so I have no idea what I wanna do when I grow up, I have 1.5 cats (Henry, who is the best cat ever, and Pickle, scary black cat with a funny name), and eat spinach like potato chips, sue me.
