What can I blog about tonight because I'm tired of seeing my sad, Malibu crash face...
hmm...
How about I blog about what should I blog about... that should be fun.
Ok, 1) I'm home alone on a Friday night. 2) I did this to myself. 3) Why?
Sometimes I wish I had all the answers. Actually lots of the times. For instance, should I really keep majoring in social work? Should I actually live on campus next year? Should I even finish college at all? ... Serious questions here people. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Matthew 6:34: "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Great stuff right there, but so super dooper hard to actually do. Worry, worry, worry. Welcome to my lyfe. I just want to know now what God has planned for me and my future... the who, what, when, where, and why... but patience is a virtue. By the way, is patience the only virtue, because that's the only virtue that gets a cool quote. Anyways, patience is yet another one of those things I super dooper struggle with. This is my blog of struggles. Yep.
So I'm about to turn 21 in a month... cool. Know what's crazy... I won't be graduating from college until I'm 23... (if I graduate at all) Now some of you may be thinking to yourself, "if?"... Yes, if. Did you know that college is actually not the answer to all your life problems? Did you know college may not truly be the answer for everyone? Amazing huh. I would say our society is pushing college more than ever these days... and no I don't think this is entirely a bad thing at all. Graduating from college gets you that big DEGREE word... the GOLDEN TICKET to a better life. Well hey... lets say you graduate with a degree and then decide, hmm, I really don't want to be a (insert job position title here) ... I don't want to be a social worker anymore.... so you start applying to different businesses because maybe you want to be a business woman now. Do you think those companies you are applying to are going to say, "Oh and we see you have graduated with a social work degree. That will be super helpful to you in this career choice." I honestly think they are more apt to ask you, "We see you graduated with a degree in social work... Why are you not out applying to jobs within this field?" And you reply, "Well I just really wanted to graduate with some degree... any degree really..." I don't think a degree is the golden ticket that it's assumed to be.
At age 20 I wish I knew what I wanted to be when when I "grew up"... I wish that probably a little too much. So until then, what am I supposed to do? THAT IS THE QUESTION OF MY LYFE RIGHT NOW!
oh life.
Well, it is confirmed...You ARE your Dad's daughter. Sounds like exactly what I would have written when I was your age. I don't know the answers...I DO KNOW that God does...so I trust Him, and pray He will guide and direct your path.
ReplyDeleteI also know this...so far, you have proven that WHATEVER you set your mind to do ("setting your mind to do it"...key phrase) you have done VERY WELL and you do a great job...and people love and appreciate you in those settings. So, based on that, there is HOPE... there is PROMISE... there is no need to WORRY... and there is no need to be depressed about lyfe. I can sympathize with your predicament, but I can also let you know from experience of having been there, that...this too, shall pass. Hang in there. Keep the Faith. Love you! Dad
