when you get to your 20's i think most people want to have it all figured out. (now if you're in your thirties, forties or even fifties and reading... don't laugh, because chances are you may have thought the same..and well.. do you have it figured out yet?) i am one of those people. i want to know where i'll be in 3 years, 10 years let alone next year. i want to know where i'll live, and who i'll meet. i want to know if i'll be a gamecock season ticket holder, or have a condo on the beach... all things that would be nice to say are mine. but, more importantly i want to know where i'll be living, where i'll  be working, and if i will be happy. i want to know who i'll be surrounded by and at what age i can look around and say... okay, i got this thing figured out.

but....who doesn't?

i've decided a few things... there are a lot of friends who have it all figured out. have the path that they have chosen, have picked out the keys and the paint and have called it a day... i'm happy for them and slightly jealous. i have other friends, similar to myself who work work and work...now, at 24... i ask, is that what it's all about? working and just "figuring it out" along the way... sure, it seems to be the case, but that isn't all that fun when your best friends are scattered across the US, the family is 12 hours north and the boo is a plane ride away. so, what's next?

well.. i'll tell ya; a visit, a ribbon cutting, a visit, an open house, another open house, a visit, a work conference and maybe another visit if we are lucky down the road.. so shit, can a girl get some consistency? one can only hope..so to those that have it figured out with the cute condo, the dog and the decor i admire. and to the ones like myself... guess we'll just have to figure it out. all i know is that a little serendipitous hints along the way may be in order. it can be a little tiring but i assume it's all part of the game... and getting a head of myself seems to be standard.
