It's the day before I go to college but after I checked I realized my schedule os f-ed. Two of them I'll start this Monday and the other two will have to wait until October. But even if I felt so certain, I don't know what I want to do. I want to help people. And I'm good with medicine, and nursing came as an epiphany, but now, I'm thinking "Will

Two of your classes don't start til October? What the hell, that's weird. Do they run shorter than the average semester?

Ignore the pressure to leave home, find a new home with a man/sperm bank, and settle down and start making the babbies as soon as humanly possible. I don't have any other advice, other than to just ignore it, and do as you will with YOUR life. As women, we will continue to get that through life - if not from family then other people and even strangers. Society is still very much sexist and women are still pigeon-holed into the role of "mother first, success second." That's just one of the reasons I'm probably never going to marry. I'll happily be a girlfriend for 50 years, but I'm considering just completely writing off the sexist and homophobic political institution of marriage. Pah!

In the first place marriage is really only because people needed a legal tie to move assets and power between them. Yeah. I didn't want to take two of those classes but one I couldn't take until then because it's a limited class and the other is sociology. My mom keeps stupidly suggesting I switch to have a schedule that allows me work (Even though my schedule did) and suggested to buy used books at the last minute (Doesn't work out that way). I know my parents aren't all serious about me finding a sperm bank to live with but, Jesus. It already makes me feel old.
