Not knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life at 18: If college is the path you choose, and you god forbid don’t know what your major is going to be the second you step onto campus for the first time, people will look at you like “aw you poor thing,” or “what are they even doing here then?” Newsflash people, a lot of people don’t know what they want to do with the next 40 years of their life at 18 years old. In reality, a good portion of people who go to college freshman year with a major picked and a career chosen end up changing that somewhere along the way anyways, so what makes them any better than someone who just doesn’t know yet? There’s still time, let’s slow down.
Getting married: If your life plans don’t include getting married by age 30, “something is wrong with you,” or “your mind will change, you’ll see.” A concept that the older generations just can’t wrap around their brains is why someone may not want to get married when they’re older for a variety of reasons. Sometimes a person just doesn’t want to be tied down by another person, may want to move wherever they want, may want to travel the world, may just want to be independent, or they like being alone. Even if they have no reason, isn’t marriage their decision anyway? And I’m not even going to get into the controversy over who a person marries because that’s a whole different chapter of a book that shouldn’t even have to be written anyways. I hate to ruin the ending for you, but a person’s choice of partner, or lack thereof, has zero affect on your life, I promise.
