Right now my life is probably the most boring it has EVER been. I have a job, but i barely work. I have friends, but we never really do anything. I have a husband, but he is never home! I am on the verge of going completely postal.
On the up side of my downward spiraling life, I am making plans for jobs and school when I get home, but that is still depressing and let's face it, BORING. I am going back to the same job that I have had since I was fourteen, for some very odd reason I am NOT overjoyed. It might be the fact that I feel like I should be growing up and moving to bigger and better things, but I am stuck in a rut of always being the little accountable girl that is way too nice for her own good. Don't get me wrong I love that job and I would love to do it forever, I just would like to feel like it is taking me somewhere even though it is not; like I said I have been doing this since I was 14.
This will be my fifth year attending college. 2 at BYU and a 3rd year at BYU-I. All of my friends are graduated and I am still trying to figure out what to really major in. I am getting a Business degree which I decided on because it was easy and I could do whatever I wanted when I graduated, but I don't think that I will ever really use it. Sure it is nice to know the proper way to word a MEMO, conduct a meeting, and find ways to exploit others so that you can turn a profit, but I could have figured it out on my own. So I will have wasted 5 1/2 years earning a degree, just so that I can have that piece of paper to wave in people's faces and say "I am smarter than you. I went to school and now I am a genius!"
In these two seemingly normal events lies my dilemma...what am I to do about growing up? How do I get on with life when I am stuck doing the exact same thing that I have been doing since junior high?
***I am not normally this pessimistic, this is purely the bi-product of extreme boredom!***
