College and my life goals

This is my fourth semester at LoneStar College and while I have enjoyed many of my classes, I am ready to have my Associates of Arts. I am hoping to receive it this May and move onto a University.

I have not decided what college I would like to move to since I am married to a soldier and we are currently looking into moving to a different base within the next few months.

I am looking to persueing a career in Architecture. I would also like to minor in Landscape Design and Interior Design also.

I am hoping that after I achieve my degrees that I can open my own business.

Cleaning out life (and my friends list)...

So just a week or so ago I deleted a bunch of people off of my facebook. You know that social network that gets so addicting and practically takes over your life? Yup that was it. I have never had a ton of friends and I personally feel that I don't need a million friends to make me happy. I am happy right where I am at. High school was like the friend pool, if you were the right person. I wasn't. And it never hurt me...Ever get tired of reading boring posts about people you don't care about and never did? Thats just facebook for practically everyone. I get so tired of these people I grew up with adding me but we never talked then and we don't talk now. Sounds kinda pointless right? I think so. Afterward feels kinda like getting out of the shower. Feels clean and fresh. Like a new day. I think cleaning out your life (and that friends list) is the best decision anyone can make. Your not cool for having a million friends (and btw you never will be...)

I only talk to a handful of friends that are on my facebook. Getting married and moving really opend my eyes to who my true friends are. Who will still be there for you once your gone? Making new friends was so much easier when your a child, going to school and having classes. Being married to the military is a whole new deal. Moving to a base. New rules. Living in the middle of no where. Life gets more complicated. You see those who are meant to be in your life in a whole new perspective and this definitely comes to light during deployment. Who is there for you when you were at your lowest moments in life? Who helped you back up when your loved one was gone? What has your best friend done for you? Those who are meant to be in your life come out right about now. At least mine did. I wish to think I am an independent woman but I know even I need help at times. As much as I wish my husband could be here to help me with everything I know I have to look to others. Having those true friends there for me is definitely what I look for these days.
