Graduating? Really?

So, I'm gradutating...Saturday, its kinda wierd. They will be shipping me off to *duh-duh-duuuuhhh* The Real World where evil adults live and people work at places called full time jobs and we are forced to accept the mediocore middle classed lifestyle of this world, sluging to work with dread every day wondering "is there really a point? Is this really what I went to 4 years of college for and spent all of my parent's money for?" rather than the dreams of children to always have fun, not go to work to get money but because you love it, not to compromise your happiness for better benefits...I am to become....An Adult!

Yeah, screw that. I don't want to end up being that part of my mother that is absolutly consumed by my work. (sidenote-she hates that part of herself as well, not knocking my mother, I love her more than anything) I still want to be married have have kids before I'm 30. Yes, to some that may seem early, or rushing things, and a bit nieve...but that's what I have always wanted, to be a mother of two, one boy one girl, boy first. That is the part of my mother that I never want to let go of, I want to be a mother more than anything. Yes, my schooling and career is important, and yes, I do have to have money in order to raise childern properly. But honestly, I would much rather be poor and happy with children, than wealthy and advancing in my career with no children and not happy. I don't want to wake up in the morning dreading work and hating what I do everyday...I have already had to deal with that during school, and was only done so that I can go to college and just take the classes I need for my job and get a job that I love to do and that I enjoy going to everyday. Why would you go to work for someone or something that you hate, it makes no since. But as we grow up we let go of those dreams and wishes we had as children, me make one compromise, saying its ok, I need it. Then we make another compromise and another and another, and soon we end up somewhere we had no intention of being. Living a mediocore life, only kind of happy, going to a job that I hate to do.

So as I am being shoved out into The Real World I am going to try my absolute hardests to not make compromises, to stay true to my dreams and wishes. Because that is what this life is about, making it the best you can ever have, because it goes by so fast, and you don't want to miss any of it, or end up with handfuls of regrets and no memories. I will stay close with my best friend from high school, despite the statistics. I will enjoy my job that I choose to take, despite the statistics, and if I don't, I will quit and find one that I do love.

You only live once, so I plan on doing it right the first time.
