My Future Is Undetermined

I would prefer not to play 20 questions right now.

My Future Is Undetermined

I love when people are genuinely interested in what I want to do with my life. I am going to school to earn a degree that I am passionate about, and it is nice when people want to hear more about it. Since I am one of the *maybe* 30 kids in my year who are completing this degree, it's not something common that people understand.

With that said, I still do not know what I want to do with my degree. I don't know if I am going to be able to find a job. I don't know who I want to work with. I don't know exactly where I am going to graduate school. I don't know where I am going to be living. I don't know when I am getting married (TIP: CHECK MY LEFT HAND), or how many kids I want.

SO PLEASE. If you ask me questions about my life, ask me something that I can answer. Ask me what I like doing and maybe what my dream job is. Ask me where I would LOVE to live because I can name about 30 different places I like. Ask me if I want a dog or a little kitten, because that's an absolute yes to both. If you want to know more about my schooling, ask me about my favorite class and what subject I enjoy the most. Ask me if I want to travel and where to. Ask me how my day is going or what my favorite food is and why. And if you really want to get to know me, ask me what my favorite mythical creature is.

I know that I am not the only college kid who gets asked these questions so I completely understand the struggle. Although I have not graduated yet, or even entered my senior year of college, I still play the same game of 20 questions with family and friends. I know it is not supposed to be annoying, but after hearing it and not knowing how to answer it gets kind of tricky. I wish I knew these answers because it would make my life so much easier. I would love to let you know what I am doing the next 5 years of my life, but honestly I don't even know what I am going to have for dinner tonight.

So let me finish off by saying this; to everyone that is wondering what I am doing the next few years with my life, I am right there with you. I wonder too. I am just as excited as you are, if not more, to see where I am headed. I know there are going to be a lot of bumps in the road, but that's called life. So once I finally decide what I'm going to have for dinner, I am going to start to plan and see where this crazy road ahead takes me.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
