Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years

It's always a question that you're asked throughout your life.

Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years

It's always a question that you're asked throughout your life. Where do you see yourself in x amount of years? I remember being young and in elementary school saying that I wanted to be married and having a family by a certain age and being a teacher or doctor.

Now that I'm getting through my second year of college, every year is flying by and 10 years from now seems more and more unclear. I'll be graduating in two years, hopefully getting a good job, possibly moving somewhere that isn't New York or New Jersey, and maybe even still in my current relationship.

It's always such a weird thing to imagine your future self. Of course everyone plans on having a good life. No one wants or for sees going down a bad path. You just have to start being realistic. You have to give up wanting to be a princess and king to become the successful man or woman.

In ten years I will be almost 30 years old. In ten years, I hope to be happy. I hope that I am a kind, forgiving, selfless, and successful person. That is who I want to be as a person. I would like to have a good job where I'm helping others while inspiring them. I would like to be married by then with the love of my life who makes it exciting to come home everyday. Maybe I'll have some kids of my own by then, maybe not. Time will only tell.

It's exciting but also scary to think about things like this. I never thought I would be in New York for college when I was a freshman in high school. I didn't think I would be working towards my bachelors degree in public health. I sure would have never seen myself being in a relationship for over a year now. It's all so exciting to have these things happening at the moment, but I never truly know who or where I'll be in the future, or even where I want to be in ten years.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
