So, I am on duty this weekend. I have a lot to get done this weekend, but I'm not in a rush. I can't go anywhere. So, no hurry.
I have a paper to write on why I chose Nutrition as my major. I know why I did, but it's hard to complete a whole paper with the story behind it. I was in culinary arts, loved the nutrition chapter, always liked to help people, figured why not?!
I mean I do have a passion for it. I love what I'm learning and how it can be applicable to my everyday life. That's great, but I am just having a hard time writing a paper on it.
So, I rediscovered the greatness that is 90s Pop Groups/Artists...NSYNC, BSB, Otown, Spice Girls, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and even though she's not in this category of "pop", I have been listening to some older Shania Twain.
I love it. It may be cheesy and the lyrics are simple, some probably don't even make sense, but it makes me smile. I feel like a kid again, but it also makes me feel a bit old, too. It was a decade ago that this stuff came out. Goodness.
Speaking of getting older, another one of my friends got engaged this weekend. Now, I'm not going to rush off and get married because my friends are doing it, that's stupid and you shouldn't base your life off of someone else's, but come on. You can't help but feel a little pressure. Some are getting married because of certain circumstances i.e. pregnancy (and I'm not saying anything bad about it, do what you gotta do), but then others are getting married and starting their lives.
You know, when people asked where I saw myself in 5 years (age 24 or 25, I'm closer to 20 now), I would say in a career and either married or in a deep committed relationship. So, let's analyze this a bit. If I keep this goal, I would graduate next year and I would be 21. Would enter a Dietetic Internship lasting about a year, taking the RD Exam and become a Registered Dietitian by 22. That means, 2 to 3 years to get a job(that is, if I don't go back for my Master's), find Mr. Right, and possibly get married. I mean, it's not unheard of. And I don't necessarily have to follow this plan. But, I don't want to be single at 30. I want to have a family by then, or at least starting one. Nothing against those who do wait until 30, I just don't want it for myself.
I know it seems silly to have plans like this, and they aren't rigid deadlines, but I do want these things in my life.
No worries right now though, I'm not going to go out and search for that certain someone right away. I guess it's a slight fear of mine that it won't happen, that's why I have these ideas or goals.
But, congratulations to those that are getting or have already gotten married. Best wishes!
