I Don't Have My Life Figured Out, But That's Okay

The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive.

In a few short months, I graduate college. Which means in a few short months I begin "adulting." The real world just keeps getting closer and closer. I will tell you right now, that I honestly do not know what I want to do with my life. I have ideas, but nothing that is set in stone. I am not sure if I want to do something related to my majors or to go into a field completely different. I am not sure if I want to move back to my hometown or if I want to try a city I have never even been to. And this is okay. I am positive that I have said many similar things at different points leading up to now about different circumstances and in every case everything has turned out fine in the end.

Many people think that at this point I should have my life completely figured out and follow the societal path step by step to lead me to a successful future. First, you graduate college, then you get a job straight out of college, move out of your parent's house, get married and have children. But in today's world, this is becoming much less realistic. Not everyone follows this plan, in fact, it is becoming less and less common. There are so many options and I truly believe that God has a plan, and what is meant to be will happen. Not everyone is made to follow the path, and many people take different approaches to create their own path through life.

So, if you are like me, take a deep breath, and relax. In the end, everything will be okay and you will end up where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing. The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive. This has worked for me in the past, and I believe that it will continue to do so in the future.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
