Where will you be in 5 years? Where will you be in 10 years? 15 years? 25 years? How scary is it to try to think that far ahead in your life? I couldn’t tell you what I am doing tomorrow, how am I supposed to know where I will be in 5, 10, 25 years?!

Sometimes, I feel like I am pressured into having to know what I am going to do with the rest of my life. I feel like I am held to a certain standard by my friends and my family and society in general. I feel like sometimes I am not living up to that standard. I don’t know what I am going to do with my life. I have no idea where I am going to end up in the future.

I have learned from experience that things can change in a split second. You are here one day and the next day you are gone. My mind can change in a split second. On my way into town, I think I want a cheeseburger and fries for dinner and I end up coming home with Chinese take-out. If I can’t decide on what to eat for dinner how am I supposed to tell you where I am going to be in 10 years?

I can hope that I will be in a really good place in 10 years. Own my own house, or rent, I’m not too picky, have a steady job/income, maybe a dog or cat or both. I am so indecisive. My idea of a ‘good place’ might not be the same if you ask me tomorrow or a month from now. You could ask me a question and then 2 weeks later ask me the same question and I won’t answer it the same way. Chances are I won’t even remember how I answered the first time.

This article turned into a rant about how I don’t know what I want for dinner. The point of this was to show you that it is totally okay if you don’t know where the future is going to take you. It is okay to be scared of the future. It is okay to be indecisive. I am all those things and I would say I am doing pretty well. I’m in college, I am doing amazing things, I am on a good path. I have no doubt that you are too.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

As any other person on this planet, it sometimes can be hard to find the good in things. However, as I have always tried my hardest to find happiness in any and every moment and just generally always try to find the best in every situation, I have realized that your own happiness is much more important than people often think. Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
