Let's just take one step at a time.

I'm writing another post because I'm sitting at home bored. I've been asked the question:

What is your 2010 theme song?????

So here I am, looking through iTunes at my 1,238 songs and about halfway through I found it!!

One Step at a Time by Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus:]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

[Chorus:]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

This song describes my life completely. I have been attending Westminster College for about a year and a half and I still have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. The tragedy. I started out with nursing classes but I came to the realization that I am not nursing material. It is insane how much work nursing classes take. Now I'm not saying that other majors aren't as hard but nursing was slightly ridiculous. Anyways, back to the song. I am now transferring to Utah State to see what my life leads to next. I still have no clue what to major in but as the song states: there's no need to rush. What exactly am i rushing towards anyways? Life after college doesn't seem quite as thrilling as the college life. Working constantly and being in the "real world" is not something i'm looking forward to. I want to live in this stage of my life as long as possible.

Jordin Sparks smartly sings about how it's the faith that makes us stronger when the end isn't in sight. Words of advice ladies and gentlemen. I have struggled with this. I came to the conclusion that my life is going nowhere fast and I have no end in sight at all. I barely know what I will be wearing the next day, let alone 5 years down the path. All i know is that in 5 years, i wanna be married, have a job that i truly enjoy, surrounded by friends and family, and just be lovin my life. That's what most people want (unless you truly hate society and everyone in it; if that's so, i tip my hat to you).

I have a lot of kinks to work out, but who doesn't? I procrastinate, I judge occasionally, I'm basically the standard teenager. But I've learned a lot since graduating from high school and I feel like i've matured and grown a lot. I know i'll figure out what to do with my life; all i need to do is take one step at a time. :)

Just some pictures displaying me enjoying my teenage years :)
