Careers, weddings, families, life. It may sound terrifying, but it also sounds exciting. It’s a new chapter of life, a new adventure and a dream many little girls have. But why is it that every time this excitement is brought up, it is taken back down with some comment about enjoying right now?

Trust me, I am enjoying right now. So are many other girls who are also dreaming about someday. In fact, we love spending time with our friends—laughing, singing, acting like nuts and talking about our somedays. It is possible to enjoy our time right now while thinking about someday.

Someday I will start a career. I will be doing something I love for the rest of my life. As I take my major classes in college, I get a little more excited about what I will be doing in my career. Even if you are unsure about what it is now, someday you will know what career makes you happy. It will be something that you can see yourself doing forever. Some people are bogged down by the idea of going to work every day. But if it is something you love doing, is it really a job?

Someday I will have a beautiful wedding. I will marry the man of my dreams. If other girls are anything like my friends and I, chances are they have a secret Pinterest board dedicated to wedding planning. It’s a long time away, but the idea is so exciting we have ideas already prepared for the future.

Someday I will be married. I will work out the dynamics of living with my significant other. I will spend every day with the person I love. We will have hard times and great times where we will love each other more in the end.

Someday I will have families of my own. I will be a parent to the next generation. Sometimes it can be scary to think about, but it is something to be excited about too. You will be raising kids with your partner.

I am excited for someday because of all of these life events. I love my life right now too. I enjoy college and everything that happens at this point in life. There are just some days where I sit with my friends and we talk about what our weddings will be like. We talk about how we will be each other’s bridesmaids. We talk about how our kids will be friends too. There’s nothing wrong with this. We know there will be hard times. We know there will be a lot more responsibility. We are not wishing our college years away. We are girls excited for our somedays. Don’t put us down for having big dreams.
