Five years ago, I was 19. It was good times at GA Tech that semester - I was living in the complete wacky chaos of the Japanese language dorm, pledging OPhiA, trying to keep things under control as the chapter president of AIESEC, and preparing to go to Europe for study abroad that summer. This was also the time period when my now-husband and I went from "engaged to be engaged" to simply "engaged", although when exactly that occurred I really couldn't say. And back then, I had just started my epilepsy meds and still liked them - they made me skinny, so I was stupid and thrilled
So five years ago, I was pretty optimistic about the future - I was going to go into international business, make a good bit of money, travel all over the place, and have my husband, and maybe at a much later date some kids, at home.
Um ... yeah. Five years ago I was an idiot. In ten years, I will be about to turn 35. I hope to still be married to my husband (the same one), to have children, to be debt-free and have built up a good bit of savings, to be on the least amount of medication possible, and to have achieved/be on the way to achieving an advanced degree. Probably, at that point, I will think to myself, "Wow, ten years ago I was an idiot." I hope that I think so - it would be a shame not to have gotten smarter in ten years.
