I would like to think of this as my online time capsule, I'll come back to this in 10 years and see how far I've come.

I'm often asked where I see myself in the next 5 or 10 years. Well, to be honest, I'm really not sure. I know where I'd like to be, but life is so crazy and unexpected that I can't say exactly where I'll be in 20 years and I don't think anyone does.

I am 20 years old. I don't feel like I have to have it all figured out and I don't. As I'm making my way through college, I'm slowly finding out what it is I want to do. However, I don't know what exactly it is that I want. I know that I am going to school for Journalism and Emerging Media and that it's a communication degree so, I have an idea.

I know I'm not the only one in this boat. I mean, let's be honest, how many of us can honestly say that we know EXACTLY what we want to do with our lives?

Hell, I can't even figure out my next move 10 minutes from my first one. I can't think farther than the next day. I can't predict what life will bring me next and what curveballs it's going to throw. So, I don't know where I'll be in 5 or 10 years, because truth is, I don't know what move life is going make next. I'm simply moving with the flow of life while desperately trying to take control of it as best as I can.

However, what I do know, is what I want and where I want to be in the next 5 to 10 years, doesn't mean that's how it'll play out.

In 5 years, I want have been well traveled and experienced with the world. I know that in 5 years, I want to be able to have my first small home or nice apartment (nicer than the ones you rent out as a broke college student and just need a temporary place to live). I want to be on my way to starting a successful career that I love doing every day. I will definitely own a puppy. Of course, I have my typical goal of graduating college too (only 2 more years!!!). I want to own a newer, nicer car.

In 10 years, I hope to be happily married and have a beautiful, little family of my own. In 10 years, I want to be successful, I want to be a journalist. I want to have my first real home. Ten years is a lot of time ahead to really think about. Those are my realistic wants.

So, I'll say it one more time, I'm 20 and have no idea where I'll be in 5 or 10 years and that is okay. If you're in your 20's and trying finding your way into your future, it's okay. Becoming a badass takes time.
