The Future?

Thinking about the future is probably the biggest stressor in my life. Not only does it scare me but it irritates me. I know it's a little early to be worrying about what job I want when I graduate, where I'm going to live, who I'm going to marry and things like that but I can't help it. I stress all the time. I stress less now then I did growing up but it's still a little much. The biggest stresser in my life right now is definitely what I'm going to major in. When I was little that question was simple. I always told everyone I wanted to be a cat. Now that reality kicks in I realise being a cat wont quite cut it. I have switched so many times in just my first semester. I understand most people switch atleast one time through out college but I just don't want to waste my time and money on classes that wont go towards acheiving my major. I went from a reading specialist to a high school language teacher to a special education teacher to an engineer to a secretary and now to an elementary school teacher. I'm so confused because I have always changed my mind. I want to be a teacher because I like kids and grading. I also think a secretary job would be perfect because I love doing busy work such as taking notes. All I really know is I want to major in something where I am able to find a job in Waynesville because I think it was the perfect area to raise a family. I know most probably think that is a dumb decision to base my education off of but it's a major part in my life. My dad is the president of the school board in Waynesville and my mom spent her 30 years of teaching there so I think that will help me out a little. I'm very lucky for that. I'm sure I will probably change my mind again but I'm hoping whatever I decide, I am 100% confident in my choice.
The other big stresser of my future is "Who will I marry?" "When will I find him?" "What will he be like?" I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm a huge romantic. I'm into the head over heels falling in love kind of thing. I don't care as much about like a big wedding. But I just want to be happy and in love. I worry they won't agree with a lot of my decisions. I worry they wont want children. There's so many things to worry about even though worrying does nothing to help you. I need to take a deep breath and let God lead me on my path. I trust everything will fall into place but it's tough for me not to worry. I should'nt even be thinking about these things for another couple years but It's me so I have to stress. I wouldn't be surprised if all my hair falls out by next year. Well, atleast then I'm sure if I find someone they aren't dating me for my good looks and great hair.
Anyways, I hope everything works out and I get the future I've always dreamed of. :)
