I have given my blog the title of "What am I doing here?" I feel like it deserves some kind of explanation, because that's kind of a big question. First, lets start off with a little background information... I was raised by my two parents, and lived with my older sister my whole life. My parent's never went to college, my sister never went to college, and up until my sophomore year of high school, I was under the impression that "college wasn't for everyone," because that's what I had grown up being told, so I was just planning to go to BCTC for 2 years and get a degree in medical assisting. All of that changed when I met my boyfriend, Travis. He was so determined and had all of these goals, and he opened my eyes and made me realize that I could do a lot more than medical assisting, and that I should want to do more than that. After that, my life made a huge turn around. I became more driven, and I didn't really listen to what my parents told me, because it was more about what they wanted and less of what was best for me. So I went through the rest of my high school years with Travis helping me to make better decisions for myself, and I thought we would be going to college together, and that I'd have him help me here too. But Travis goes to school 7 hours away from here now, and I'm alone. My parents still want me to do what is better for them and not myself, and without him being here, I feel totally lost, and I honestly don't know what I'm doing here half of the time. I don't know where I want to be, I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, and I just don't know about life right now. Life is weird, and it's complicated and confusing, and some days I just sit back and think, "what am I even doing here right now?" So that kind of explains my title and my crazy and confusing thought process on everything.
P.S. Blogging is nice. It's like a rant where no one can tell me to shut up. :)
