I'm A Career-Oriented Woman, And No Man Is Going To Change That

I'm open to possibilities, but changing my future is not one of them.

I'm A Career-Oriented Woman, And No Man Is Going To Change That

If there is one thing I have learned in life it is: "Do not let any man change who you are or want to become."

I am a college student and a full-time employee, and seeking a relationship is not something I plan on doing anytime soon. I say this because I know my schedule is busy, and education-wise, I have many years to go.

Having a partner would not be fair to them because I would not be able to give them an adequate relationship.

Because of this, if I were to come into a relationship by chance, I know I wouldn't alter my plans and goals if my partner were to ask. I have worked too hard and put in a lot of time to get where I am today, so to ask me to pause or stop on this completely is almost disrespectful.

My career goal is to become a pharmacist. Currently, I am working toward my bachelor's in biology, and as of now, I am a certified pharmacy technician. Throughout this, I have fully supported myself and done just fine without a partner.

So, to all the men out there, know you are not needed by me, a career-oriented female.

As a career-oriented female, I know I will never rely on a man for income or stability. I am and will be fully independent, even if I were to be in a relationship. And, with that, my partner should not rely on me for income or stability.

We both need to equally supply income and maintain finances.

To those out there who disagree with me, you should know I respect your views and opinions. I am not here to knock on a certain lifestyle but am just simply stating my views on what I think a healthy relationship is.

So, fellow career-oriented women, do not feel left behind if you have not gotten engaged, married, or had a child yet. Everyone has different life goals.

For us, obtaining our education and excelling in our careers is our life goal. Who is to say what happens after, we just know that having a man change our goals and plans, is not one of them.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
