One thing that I do not like, is when someone tries to change my mind on a decision that I have made. It is irritating to me and I feel like they should not try to make me change my mind. One of the things that bothers me most that people try to persuade me about is my career. I have chosen to be a Social Worker. Most generally, when I respond to someone that has asked me what I am going to school for, they look at me like I'm crazy. People often say things like "You won't like that." or "That's a hard job, are you sure you could handle it?" It bothers me becasue, I may not know everything to expect from this career, but I do know that it will be a very hard job. I also know that I can handle it. I would not be so confident in my choice if I didn't belive I could do it. I am very much looking forward to this career. Another thing that I don't like people trying to change my mind on, is tanning. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I am aware that it can cause cancer and is bad for your skin, but so are so many other things that people do on a daily basis! I am well aware of the situation that I am putting myself in. It especially bothers me when people who smoke or drink all the time tell me these things. It's 100% hippocritical for them to try and make me stay out of a tanning bed. I do not tan to the point that I look a different race, but just so that I have a nice color. I blieve that I am pretty good at judging my own decisions and I don't need anyone else to try and tell me what I should or should not do.

Today is Valentine's Day. For many people, this is a very special day, filled with love, laughter and romance. For others, like myself, it is just another ordinary day! Some get very bitter around Valentine's Day if they are alone and do not have a companion. I do not think that people that should feel this way. Yes, I am single, but I am not sad about it. I appreciate that there is such love around me and that other couples can be so happy. I do not feel that there should be any negativity for being "alone" n Valentine's Day. When there is no significant other, there are still many other ways to enjoy this day, just like every other. A simple solution would be to grab a friend and do something you both love! Today, my friend and I have quite the day planned for after school. First, we will go to the spa for a little pampering. We love our mani/ pedi days! After, we are going to have a nice dinner, then see a movie! We may just be best friends, but there is no sense in spending the day alone when we could be spending it together. Plus, we have a good excuse to pamper ourselves. :)

One thing that I cannot wait to have is a family. I am very excited for my future and I already have a a lot planned... that I hope will fall in to place. I hope to meet my dream husband before I finish college, and become engaged no sooner than a year after we begin dating. After that, I hope to be engaged for at least 8 months, then we will have a big, beautiful wedding in a large church. We will need a lot of seating for both of our large families and friends. After our wedding, I hope he would be kind enough to take me on a cruise. That would be my dream honeymoon. I have already been on a cruise to the Bahamas, so I think Jamaica would be a nice place to go for our honeymoon. I am not hoping for an extravagant house, but I hope that we can share a cute little home with a beautiful view. Not out in the country, but on the edge of town. This house should have a few extra bedrooms, preparing for our children a little while down the road.
