7 Things I Hope I'll Be 7 Years From Now

While longterm life goals are great, short-term goals are also super important.

When I think about my future I often think about who I'll be when I'm older. While longterm life goals are great, short-term goals are also super important. Here are seven things I hope I will be over the next seven years.

1. Confident

As a woman, I can say this is something I have always struggled with. I hope to one day look back and realize how silly I was to be so insecure, also to be able to instill confidence in the women and young girls in my life.

2. Educated

This is so important. As the first one in my family to attend college, I feel not only the excitement but the pressure from my family. I value my education and the opportunities it will hopefully present to me.


3. Married

A loving husband? Yes, please. I pray every single night that I find a man who loves me, as well as my family. Finding a man who wants to be a leader and provider for his family is my ultimate goal.

4. A mother

Traveling is good for the soul. I want to explore new places and meet new people. I want to learn about places different from where I grew up.

6. Financially stable

This is more for my family than it is for me. I want to be able to give my kids a life they deserve, as well as be able to spend time with them.

7. Successful

I want to be successful. I want people to know me for the good things I've accomplished. I want my kids to look up to me as an inspiration for their futures.

Most of all, I want to be happy. No matter how much money I have or how many places I have seen. Whether I have one child or four. Happiness is the ultimate goal.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
