The FUTURE
 
Anyone else have trouble dealing with the future?

ACK! Yes, I hate hate HATE thinking about the future. It's too scary. :( I don't like to think about leaving college and having to go out in the real world....boo, I wanna be a college student forever. :) (Well, maybe not, but at least for a lot longer...:) )

Right now, I am scared as to what the future might bring me. I have been struggling with a lot of personal issues lately and don't know why stuff keeps happening to me. I know it keeps making me a stonger person, but I just want for one day to be well....normal.

I am not b*tching, but I was not blessed as some of you are. I am a student putting herself through school and living on her own, I have to work full time and unfortunately this affects my grades. I am not one of those multitaskers who can handle the pressure. I wont give up on school. I plan on finishing....it just might take me awhile. And when I do graduate, I am sooooo scared as to what I am going to do in the real world. I know I want to teach....but where? how? I hate the unknown.

Other than my school and occupation issues, I take life as it comes. I want the good things out of life....true love and marriage, happiness, not a house but a home, beautiful children, and excitement. I'm willing to be patient and let it just come naturally....No rush. So, while all this chaos happens before me, all I will do is smile and thank God I am alive :)

Don't remind me. I think i must have a big fear of change. That's all my life seems to be these days is change.

docetboy 05-28-2003 10:59 PM

i'm afraid to think of my future

bethany1982 05-28-2003 11:02 PM

I think about my future all the time. Things look good, but that does not mean they will turn out that way. I worry I'll hit some bump in the road... lol.

docetboy 05-28-2003 11:02 PM

i'm sure someone as nice as you will do just fine

I've been through a lot of shit in the past 2 semesters, so I look to the future to get me through it. I can't say that I really have a support system of people, so I look to what possibilities I have and hope it will reach out and pull me through.

Something surprising to me is that I've been having a mid mid life crisis since I turned 21. I used to have the knee jerk reaction that anyone getting married at my age was messed up- then I look on my license and see that 21 really isn't that insane. I am shocked to see all my friends swearing and drinking with their parents...and then I remember that that is what comes with being a (legal) adult.

I used to concentrate so much on the future that I missed what was going on in front of me until it was too late. Now I'm clinging to every bit of my past and missing my adult youth. What can I say, I'm f*** in the head lol :rolleyes: I just need to learn to deal.

I get kinda scared 'cause stuff is up in the air right now. I'm a year away from my internship so I have to start now applying and gathering info so that I can apply by October. I can only pick 4 intern sites and I'm so scared that they won't fall thru. Also I have to pick a grad school, because Loyno doesn't offer assistantships or fin aid or anything. And I have to decide what population I'm most interested in within my field because I need to pick an internship w/ that in mind. Argh. That and I have no money. At all.

I have been somewhat troubled when thinking about the future lately, probably because I'm planning to make some major life changes. I'm afraid that once I do, I'll end up feeling less happy than I do right now and regret it.

Hootie 05-29-2003 01:12 AM

Yeah I worry about my future a lot....find myself sobbing to people on AIM (Right Damsa and Brandon?). I dunno. I have a lot of potential but I'm not sure what path I want to take career wise. And the problem is I'm to the point where I could go out and get any jewelry job with my credentials and move any place I want but I'm scared to. I don't have anything tying me down (like a boyfriend) but I'm not sure I want to fly solo in an unfamiliar place where I'd be alone without friends.:(

CatStarESP4 05-29-2003 02:53 AM

The future is frightening (does the ghost of Christmas Future ring a bell, Dickens fans or not?). We are forced to deal with it on a regular basis. Think of it this way though: the past you can't change, the present is happening before our eyes, but the future is open to change and vision. I hope that it is a positive one! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...mile/globe.gif http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili.../pinkieone.gif :rolleyes: :confused:

I'm concerned about the future.

As of tomorrow, I'm out of work again :( and I'm starting to get pressure from my parents and in-laws to start a family (my husband and I are only children, so we're their last best hope for grandkids).

But I have plans... going for another certification, learning some new technologies, starting up my own business, writing a cookbook, puttering around in my garden...

So, the future is scary, but also promising. :)

OUlioness01 05-29-2003 11:07 AM

i'm terrified to graduate from college AND i'm scared that i won't graduate on time. i wish everything was easy and that there were no problems in life. my roommate is getting married in about a year and i've realized that most of my friends are in serious relationships and i've never had one lasting longer than 6 months....what if i never learn how to commit? I wish someone could just tell me exactly what was going to happen in my future...then maybe i wouldn't be so scared of what is to come.

hahahaha.
I would think listening to your choices your future dilemma would be to buy the C32 AMG or the E55 AMG...
p.s. good link, very useful.

Spent my life getting through "the present," too busy to worry about the future.

DeltaSigStan 05-31-2003 02:48 AM

I feel thinking about your future makes you seize today more. I just came to the realization that I only have 2 yrs of college left, and that I better enjoy them.

I've been worried about my future for a while. I think it's because I have had family who didn't exactly do so well, and I don't want to end up like that.

I for some reason bounce back to what I really want; do I want to be a famous sportswriter (think Costas) or just some local/state guy with a wife, 2.5 kids, and a 2 story in suburbia. Can't have both, but both, to me, sound satifying.

AlphaGamDiva 05-31-2003 02:56 AM

omg i have been sooo stressed about this lately....made me an absolute wreck.....

i'm worried about me in the guard, me going back to school, me FINISHING school, me living here, money, money, money, and then whatever i am gonna do/wherever i am gonna go when i get out of school with whatever b/s degree i decide to stick with.

omg.....stressed out these days....been a basket case........the future.....oy.

VSUPhiMu 05-31-2003 11:55 AM

I do!! I'm about to get married and am so freaking out because maybe there's something I want to do that I didn't before now or maybe I'm too young...stuff like that. I know I'm with the right person, but it really scares me that I'm all grown up now.

The1calledTKE 05-31-2003 02:46 PM

I think the future for me can only get better. Not everything has been going right at the moment, but thats life.
