The Second Question

It's the one that comes after my reply to, "What are you doing now that you've graduated?" And I answer, "I'm just going to focus on being a mom right now."

It's the question that annoys me more than the first. In fact it makes me mad. It's always asked with that holier-than-thou-you-just-wasted-four-years-for-nothing tone in their voice and matching look on their face. It makes me want to scream and smack them and question their college education.

It's the question that doesn't actually require an answer. The one that calls my decision making skills into question. It makes people wonder why I even bothered going to college, why I wasted the money. It's more of a statement that basically says I didn't plan my life out properly with a friendly question mark on the end.

"Oh, so you're not using your degree?"

Free At Last!

This is to those of you who said, "Don't get married so young, you'll never finish school," to everyone who said I shouldn't take any time off of school (like I did in Hawaii) cause I'll never want to go back, for everyone who said, "you're too dumb for college," (Okay no on said that), for all the people that advised me to wait until I finish college to have a baby I just want to rub it in your face, I DID IT! I am officially a college graduate! Stick that in your juice box and suck it!

I may or may not have taken this on my way out of class...
