Today is Thursday. That means it's "get a job day." See, I told myself that every Thursday has to be "get a job" day, otherwise I'll have no discipline and turn back into the couch monster I used to be. ( Seriously I could spend over 9hrs just laying on my couch or in my bed on facebook and watching Netflix) So Chuck Lesnick told me that before I can find a job I need to write out my 1 year plan, 5 year plan, and 10 year plan for my life. This is what I came up with:
1 Year (22-23 years old)- Not a host at Unos. Possibly high up in marketing (or on my way)
- Working at a legit organization...Being paid.
- Writing
- Still have free time
5 Years (26-27 years old)- Making a good salary
- Have a manuscript
- Still passionate about what I do/able to let little things go
- PREGNANT?????? (hopefully not but if yes: Have a place to live. Have Love. Have money. If no: Proceed as usual and be grateful)
10 Years (31-32 years old) - Better salary
- Working towards a positive change in the world
- Helping people
- Have publishers or am on my way to being self published
- Pregnant- Def
- On my way to having my own home
- HAVING FUN
This makes me feel both liberated and confined at the same time. I think the confined feeling is just part of growing up. Every day has to add up to the next otherwise you're just wasting time. But I left a lot of this vauge because I'm still unsure...in this way it is liberating because I don't feel I have to subscribe to just one path. I promised myself that if I ever feel stuck in something I'm going to get out of it right away. Or find a way to get out of it and start something new. I know that I probably won't be able to do that as I get older, but I figure I'll just have a mid 30s crisis and fix it up (assuming I don't have a child...yeah maybe I should rethink that "def" after preganant in 10 years....uh....)
First off, I think reading your blog will be fun!
