So Hot Right Now (country, house, rock, career, quote)

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 01-25-2006, 11:07 PM

Talk about what rocks in your life right now, no complaining, just say what are the things that hold your life together, keep you sane and give you that little bit of excitement.

I feel bloody good right now (slightly 'cause I've had a little too much wine), but I found out I've been accepted into University and I'm about to start a new life of being an adult and being able to forfill my dreams!

My family and workmates have been so supportive this year I couldn't of done it without them. Everything I've done up until now has counted towards this, the good and the bad, I am ready.

I would love to hear some stories from you guys about what you've achieved/aiming for, and what's making life bearable right now.

well, at this point in my life, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do. I've been in college for a year now, and realized that fine arts was a complete and utter mistake. I've decided to go into photojournalism wiht a two year program, and aside from that, not the foggiest idea of what I want for a career or a life. That may sound typical for a 19 year old, but not for me. My entire life, I've ALWAYS had a concrete life plan. Even though now I realize how rediculous that is, as your plans are constantly changing and evolving (especially for someone that young), I got really attached to that sense of certainty about where I was going. Now, I'm completely lost, and once I got over the huge disorientation, I realized something. For the first time in my life, I'm starting out with a clean slate. I don't have any obligations, I don't have to feel as though I'm giving up on something I've worked years for, and I no longer have to worry about continuing on with something that I felt I SHOULD do, as opposed to what I wanted to do. I can finally live my life, entirely of my own accord. Up until now, my life was made up of a number of extensions of other things, it was an extension of my friends' lives, my parents', etc etc. and now, all there is to consider is me. and I'm loving it.

right now it's time to shake my foundations, flip everything I know upside down, and live knowing that I finally can live without pressure. bring it on

i feel like my life is going pretty damn well. overall. like jibber, i have absolutely no idea what im going to do with my life, but my passion (music) seems to be my main point of interest, and my "musical life" is going better than it ever has right now.

plain and simple...ive got a job, which means i have my own money...ive got music, which is going really well....and for a 15 year old...i think im doing pretty damn well for myself. i feel more independent than ever, and thats a great feeling.

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 01-25-2006, 11:20 PM

I so understand Jibber. All my life it's been what my parents have told me I can do, there's always been limits, lines and boundaries. Now I'm out in the real world, I can make my own decisions and follow my heart. No one can tell me what to do anymore, I am independent!

You will work out what you want to do, don't worry, it always comes into place when you let it.

My life has been so perfect, I've never been without, and I've had the best start so I am going to make the most of it.

yeah, the main thing for me was this. for at least 5 years, I worked towards nothing else than getting into one of the best art schools in the country. Now i'm here, and I can't stand it. now thats something that knocks you off your feet. now that i've given it some time, I love the fact that I have absolutely no plans and no obligations. I love the fact that after i graduate, I can live for years without having a permanent address if I want to, and just travel the world and see everything I've always wanted to. The best part is that my parents are in support of it, I know my plans to just take off travelling the world without any plans scare the sh*t out of my dad, almost as much as the thought that I'm probably never going to get a university degree. But hey, I'm starting to really see my life take shape, and things are starting to get really exciting.

explosions-in-my-pants · 01-25-2006, 11:33 PM

this is a hard thing for me to talk about. not because its sad or anything, only because my goal doesn't really seem like much, seems simple.

i'm out of school, and could go to art school if i wanted. I might just go and do something like hair dressing just for the hell of it, you know just in case my actaul goal doesn't come to work out.

my goal, to be a wonderful girl-friend, wonderful wife, and a wonderful mother. all of which stay at home. Maybe work out of the home i don't know. but call me old fashiond but i would love to be a stay at home wife and clean the house all of the time, cook raise the kiddies. i can still work like before the kids, and once there in school, but this is what i want..

my problem- no one wants a house wife, no one wants a almost 19 year girl that wants those things. Men now want independent women that work 9-5 and can just as easy bring home the bacon. which i can easily do, i just don't want to.

sure i can be the loving wife/girl friend and still work, but i want to cook and its not that i want to do this to make some one else happy to make sure there needs are met, cause this type of thing is what makes me happy too.

go ahead poke fun! you know you bloody well want to

I reckon that you grow out of dreams, and that eventually you are going to find one that lights your fire and makes you burn with passion.

About travelling, I feel you sister! I told myself yesterday before I knew my exam results that I was going to travel after a year of working because I am so so dying to get out there in the world and experience different cultures. But now, as soon as I graduate I'm out of this country and straight to London to work then move on from there.

You will get a degree hun, you've shown that you've got determination and confidence and whatever you aim for you are going to exceed in. I've always noticed an elite passion you have for life and it's opportunities, e.g. skiing, so when you know for sure what you're studying for is right, you will ace it.

Ever since I turned 18 things started to change, and I'm really seeing how awesome life can be when you make the most of it. **** bird flu, I will accept it with open arms as long as I get a chance to complete a couple of goals.
