I'm so sick of people questioning what I'm actually going to do with my degree after college! Looking at me with doubt, like I'm going crazy. So what if I want to leave a top-rated, world-renound institution for something lesser? So what? How is it going to affect your life? What is this drastic change in my life going to do to you?! This decision isn't about you. It's about me. Me and my personal happiness. So what if I don't know what I'll do? So what if I end up being just barely able to get by if I love my profession? You have no right to judge me for that. We only get a little while on this Earth and my time is getting closer to one-quarted passed every day. I'm not going to waste my life fighting against the world, being angry at everything around me. It's just not worth it. Life is too damn short! So mind your own business and keep out of mine. It doesn't affect you! I'm not going to run the nation or cure cancer, so why do you care? I'm not going to be a screw up like you so you can justify your mediocre existence. Because in a world of billions I sure won't be remembered, but neither will you. Don't drag me down into your misery so you don't feel alone. Find someone else. I'm above that. Yes, maybe I am giving up the opportunity of a lifetime in the definition of succeeding in a capitalistic society. But it's not worth my happy. It's not worth giving up my love of life. Stop trying to impose your own faults and failures on others to vindicate your own. I'm not yours, you don't get a say. Find someone else to put down. You're an adult. Stop being a bully. Grow up and be a better example in life for those who need you most. You're so busy judging you can't even see how much you've screwed up the people who love you most. So yeah, maybe I won't be successful monetarily. But you know what? People like me. I have steady friends. I try to make other people's lives better, even if I only encounter them for 5 minutes. Maybe it's time you tried something new. Maybe then, you could be great too.A Great Way to Be Forgotten
This is my life
Who are you to judge?
I don't do drugs
I don't start wars
Maybe I'm giving it all up
Letting opportunity pass by
Maybe I'll just be poor
But just maybe I'll be great
So what
If the future is uncertain?
If I don't know what to do?
If I'm not well known?
It's not your life I'll ruin
It's just me, myself, and I
I'm not a World Leader
I won't be remembered
No one in the future
Will know my name
But that's okay
I'm just here for now
Life's too short
It's just a blink
To live in despair
Let's live for today
Tomorrow's a new day
I won't be remembered
I'm not a superstar
But maybe I'm still great
And before you judge
Just remember this
It's not just me
You'll be forgotten too

You be who you are and who you become along the way because I think your pretty darn special already. I get so excited for you seeing how hard you work, realizing what others see as right for you, isn't and you have the guts to make a change that isn't popular with some. I say go girl and give it your best shot. I know far too many who have gone for that "degree" and guess what, no job in that field. They've had to pick up the pieces and for forward in a job they never thought of having and some are loving it. You are smart and capable of making more changes along YOUR journey as you see it needs to be.
