Entry 6

You know what... I am SO sick of everyone telling me what I have to do with my life! I am 16 freakin years old, and quite frankly I have no idea what I want to do after high school, I just know that I DON'T want to go to college. To tell you the truth, I don't really think it's that big of a deal anymore. But everyone else is always telling me that I am SO SMART and it would be a waste for me to not go to college. A waste of what? It's not like I'm Einstein or anything (and by the way, he didn't go to college). I may be slightly ahead of most people my age, but why in the world does that mean that everyone else has to tell me what to do??

I am just sick of sitting back and listening to everyone else plan my life. My family is all freaked about about me not wanting to go to college "all of a sudden". I've actually never wanted to go to college, I just always played their little games until here lately. I love my family, very much. Don't get me wrong there, I just wish they'd let me make my own decisions. I mean, today my grandma even was trying to tell me what to go to college for... HELLO... NO... I DO NOT WANT TO BE A TEACHER!

That's another thing though, even if I did go, I haven't got the slightest idea what I want to go for. I know some things that I will not do, but as far as having a special interest or talent in ANYTHING, I don't. The only thing that I would like to do with my life is to be a housewife and have lots of kids... But in reality I'll probably never get married, since I know no one who would even consider spending the rest of their life with ME. So if I want kids I will end up having to adopt them and be a single mom like Rosie. The only problem with that is she makes millions of dollars and if I don't go to college, I "will be stuck making minimum wage while everyone else will have good jobs" quoted from my family on a daily basis.

Well anyway, I still have two years before I graduate, and I'm not worried about it. I just wish everyone else would chill out a bit.
