Choices. We make them everyday. Some are small like where we are going to have lunch or if we are going to go the gym or not. Some are big like are we going to switch careers, or buy this house and not this one, and so on and so on. Every now and then I find myself thinking that if I could go back and re-do college I would have done something different. Do something that I actually liked and would have had a promising career attached to it. And believe me I am very thankful for my job and I actually do like it, but I didn't need a degree for it. I feel like sometimes I wasted my time when I could have got a degree worth while. Wasted my time on my degree, not going to college, cause college was so much fun!
Me and Kory constantly have the talks about if we went back to college what would we do and blah blah blah. Honestly I don't think I have it in me to go back to school, therefore we all need to invent time travel so I can just go back and get something different. And don't get me wrong, college was a BLAST but I really don't care to re-live all that stuff as much as I just wish I would't have gotten a degree in General Studies. Yep, that's right General Studies...aka I'm Not Really Smart Enough to Be In College but What the Hell degree.
But hey, least I got a bachelors I guess.
On a side note of the time travel thing, I constantly get told by people at work that they wish they could go back to high school. I'm like really? You wanna go back to high school? That thought never crosses my mind. I really feel like just one time through high school was good enough. I was a dork in high school who didn't know how to dress or put on make up. Luckily tasha was there to help me out in that category haha. I have a theory on the people that want to go back to high school. It isn't scientific or proven but im pretty sure im right...the people who want to go back to high school are either:
a) Completely miserable with their spouse. You know the couples that are mostly married for their children. They have been married twenty something years or so but they really don't want to be with their spouse. They long to be in high school for the getting with whoever they want thing and maybe to go back so they didn't get married. (even though they would but it would just maybe be to someone else)
b) They peaked in high school. They were the super cool popular guy or girl that everyone worshipped and loved and blah blah blah BUT now they are losers. No one cares about them now and they wanna go back to being the Big Man on Campus...or Woman on campus. think of the guy on Just Friends still wearing the letter jacket drunk at the bar every night. That guy.
c) I was hoping to have a C point but I really don't and I'm kinda disappointed.
Happy Friday Eve YALL! :-)
I feel ya on the doing something different in college part. Honestly, I don't even know why I picked Public Relations...guess I just looked at the choices and said hmmm..this looks good! ha But, I've never liked school, not even elemetary. But by golly I finished and have a college degree. Woohoo! Not that my degree has helped me in my job either. I can't really complain though, I get paid well to do very little. It's a blessing in a way but it's also a very boring job. And, not something I want to do for the rest of my life. But, then I think about it and I'm not sure there's anything out there that really interest me enough to want to do anything different. I never was one of those people that knew what they wanted to be at a young age or had the want or will to do a specific thing. I just assumed it would come to me throughout my life...but it still hasn't. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. ha So I guess me going back to school to do something different or reliving college wouldn't really be beneficial, cause I'd have no idea what to go back for. But oh well..maybe one day I'll figure out my career path. But, here's to hoping I win the lottery instead!! =)
