Letter Eleven: Future Self

I'm more short term, then long term

Letter Eleven: Future Self
pintrest

Welcome to letter eleven. So far, you have seen some pretty low times in my life.

My career choices, my life. Everyone expects me to have a plan.

Big shocker, I am not the "planning" type. I am most definitely, however, the go-with-the flow type. I DO NOT have a plan for my life and I think that's why people are so ashamed of me right now. Like, who doesn't have a plan for the future? This girl. I don't want to be married, I don't want kids, I don't want a lot of things but that doesn't make me the Anti-Christ. I think the reason why people think I don't have a clue in life is because I am covered in tattoos, not like head to toe, but like from here to here. I have piercings, and I think they look super cool and I have no problem showing them off. But, I don't fit into corporate America, suits and ties don't intrigue me. I am more of a sweatpants and tank tops or skinny jeans and band shirts. There's usually no in-between. Maybe that's why I feel so left out of downtown in all their suit and ties.

Because I am constantly judged for not being constant. I get bored at one job, if I do the same thing over and over again, I will be super bored and less likely to do 100%. I get it, I'm 21, I should have a plan. Well I don't, I don't see much in my future, I'll worry about that when I get there. Am I there yet? I bounce around from job to job to keep me excited, to keep my life from molding into a blur. Sure, it doesn't look excellent on a resume, but I need spontaneous decisions in my life. It keeps shit interesting to be honest. I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis, you know when you want a sudden change or do something cool. My midlife crisis came at 21 and trust me, it makes me wanna punch a wall because I'm stuck between being too old to do things and too young to know better.

So three cheers to a -maybe- future. Let's see what tomorrow brings first.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
