[20 going on 30]

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"

"I think, in 10 years, I would like to see myself content. The reason I say that is because right now we have so many avenues ahead of us...we can participate one organization, or take this class, or that class, and everything is always up in the air. More than anything, I would like to see myself in a position in which I am I am content and happy. I want to be content in my job if I'm a manager, or if I'm just starting out, or if I'm just coming out of school, whatever and wherever I may be. I just want to be content with life--if I'm dating someone, or if I'm not dating someone, or if I'm cool Aunt Sara, or whatever it may be. I want to be content in the relationships I have outside of my family. You're always meeting new people in college, and I have these incredible friendships and I think the scariest thing about finishing college is wondering if I'll still have them. And so I want to be content in those relationships, and make sure I've done everything I can to uphold them."

"What do you think the 30-year-old you would say to the 20-year-old you?" 

"I would like to think 'let go and calm down a little bit,' but knowing myself, the Type-A will never leave me. I think she's going to say it's okay to go with Plan B. This is even something I'm learning this week. You have a plan, you stick with that plan, and everything will go according to plan, and that is the way it will be...and then things don't turn out the way you expected, or people surprise you, or things surprise you, and it's ok that things don't always turn out the way you anticipated. How you bounced back is going to define you, rather than your failed plans."
