So I was thinking.. When i was about 13 a expected that by the time a was 17 i would have a long term boyfriend, and somehow be rich and famous =S..Partying every night with some amazing people!! In reality, im at college, no boyfriend, working as a waitress, living purely for my weekends!What did you think you and your life would be like by now?
 
When i was a kid by the time i was 17 i thought that i would have a car live on my own party with my friends you know all that stuff.But i have a kid, so no partying and i have a husband. I really don't hang out with my friends but i love my life my daughter makes everyday worth it. (:
 
I thought that by 27 I'd be absolutely certain of what I wanted to be when I grow up. I didn't think I'd be married, nor with children.Although I have a career, I'm still not sure of what I want to be when I grow up. I'm also married and while I don't have children yet, I'm trying to conceive.
 
Not where I am that's for sure. I thought I would be about ready to go to a great college with a full ride scholarship. Now I'm not even going to college.
 
That is a very advanced question for a young person to be asking. Perhaps you are more ambitious than I. I am 44, and had no idea what my life would be like. I had no obvious plans in life, and still don't, nothing grand, anyway. I did buy a Mercedes 500 SL recently. I never thought that I would ever own such an expensive car, and now I have one. I thought I would be rich and retired by now, and I am neither. More cranky than ever before, get more easily riled when things don't go my way, have less patience with other people than ever before, but generally things are looking pretty good. Body is fading, I don't get as horny as often, but I don't really care, either. You are too young to be concerned about these things. Enjoy, cause we don't have that long to go, in case you haven't noticed.
 
When I was 13 I don't think I had a clue where I thought I'd end up. When I was younger, though, I thought that right now I'd be training to be a vet, possibly with a boyfriend although I wasn't really too bothered by that... oh, and I thought I would at least have several pets. I think personality wise I thought I'd be about the same as I was then - fairly quiet, studious, not really wanting to stand out.Now, I'm studying, but studying literature rather than at vet school, hoping to become a teacher. I have a long-term boyfriend, and no pets at the moment although they will be arriving as soon as I get a place of my own. I'm infinitely less shy than I was, still fairly dedicated to my work I guess but it's not my whole life anymore. I like to stand out from the crowd. I guess some of the experiences I've had and the people I've met have brought me out of my shell! I work on the theory that whilst you can dream about your future and what you think it might be, it will almost never be accurate. Life is for living, it's not about the past or what you think might happen in the future, because for all you know something might come along that's even better than anything you might have planned for. Hope this helps.x
 
When I was 13 I expected to be in college when I was 23, not much more than that. Right now I'm in college, married with a 14 month old :)
