The Future...and Beyond

   My future is undecided at the moment. I mean, of course, I'm going to college and getting a career, but what about beyond that? What about going back to college for a masters degree? What about buying a home? What about getting married? What about having a family? All of these things are key parts of life that should be thought of. I need to build a future that will fit my needs and my individual merit.
    My college plans are crystal clear sometimes and foggy others. I am interested in being a psychologist at the moment. I love learning new things about the brain and about how it works so I think that I would be a great psychologist. Helping people is a big part of my life and by being a psychologist I can help a lot of people with their problems. Something else that really interests me is being a personal shopper and or style helper. I could advise people on what clothes fits them and go shopping with them, it would be insanely fun! Being a cosmetician is also a possible choice, this means doing hair and make up. All of these career choices would be great, but right now I'm sticking with being a psychologist. The college I would like to attend still lays undecided in my head. I do not know whether to stay in Colorado or go some place else. A good side to staying in Colorado is that you get to see your friends and family a lot more than if your are away. Although, if you go some place else, you can explore other places and come out of your comfort zone. If I did choose to stay in Colorado, I think that I would go to CSU.

    After college, I would get a stable job. Probably as an apprentice at first and then I would slowly gain respect and open my own business. Being in the medical field ,as a psychologist, it would take a while until I learned all there was to learn about psychology and I had the opportunity and money to open up my own business. At the learly stages, I will probably rent a small house or apartment. My job will probably be as an apprentice with a more experienced psychologist. After about a year or two, I would probably be a master psychologist and have enough money to invest in a business shop. From there, I will open my psychologist place and make money in order to make my business larger and larger and larger and larger....until I become a successful psychologist!
     Between opening my own business and starting to be a successful psychologist, I will probably get married. I think that if you do not plan on getting married, that would be a very sad and lonely life. At my age, most girls are like'' OMG! I am totally not getting married...like EWWWW!'' In reality, 99% of the girls will get married and end up having children. The girls that do plan on getting married think that they will end up marrying the guy that is like sooooooooo cute and that will be a professional athlete. That isn't going to happen in real life unless you are really, really, really lucky. My future husband doesn't have to be a professional athlete that looks like he should be on the cover on a magazine. He should have goals, ambitions, a stable job, and have the right ideas about how to treat women. All of things must come in the package of marriage.
    Kid are annoying! It's just a fact of life. That gives you a small hint on whether I plan on having children or not. At first, I was a like ''There is no way I'm having kids!'' Now I'm like " I don't really want to have kids because of the hard work and sleepless nights when they're babies, but then when they grow up they can take care of you and all that hard work will be paid back and you won't die alone and blah blah blah.'' So I really don't know now whether I will end up having kids or not. I really do think baby girls are adorable, but that is mainly the biggest motivation. If I did end up having children, I would have two. Two because if you only have one they become selfish and when they grow up they want a sibling. If you have two, they won't be selfish and have eachother as company. All in all, I don't like kids at all but may end up having kids anyways
    The future is something that you can't control. I may end up being a car salesman with fifty kids living in Minnesota for all I know. Or I can become a successful psychologist with no kids living in Colorado. The future will unfold as I get older and so will my mind. I will probably want a different  career and have different ideas about my life. We will see what becomes of me. Meanwhile, the present is my focus...
