Why do I feel like the only responsible one out of everyone I know?

April 3rd, 2010

So I have one more question and this is it. I have plenty of close friends. We’re all almost sixteen now, yet I feel as though I’m the only one who has a plan for my life. I know I’m a bit young to know what I want to do, and many people don’t know what they want to do until they’re older. I know some people walking around going “Damn. I got another F.” Those are the kids that say, “I want to be a doctor.” I work hard and my GPA right now is 3.67. I’m trying to do a lot better. I’m working so hard this year to take all AP classes next year. I’ve had a job working for a lawyer for two years and this year if I find another job, I’m quitting because I feel as though it’s time. I plan on trying to get a mall job and then looking for either a job at a Boston wedding planning or party planning agency. An internship would even be nice within a few years. I’m planning on getting a business degree because event coordinating is all project management. What I don’t get is why are my friends so uncaring about their future and think they’re going to go so far and achieve so much? You see all these kids that are drunk, high, pregnant, and make bad decisions and think they’re going to have this amazing life. I’ve met countless kids who think they’re going to become professional athletes and celebrities. Maybe I sound uptight and not fun, but I’ve come to face the facts that it’s now time that I have to start choosing what I want to do with my life. I can’t live at home and do nothing. I mean… I don’t know. What do you think? Should I relax a little? I’ve been so tense because these three years count the most.
