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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
