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.

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.

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.
