This has been a goal of mine for about three years now. People are great and all, but there are so many issues that come along with knowing them! I’d like to cut myself off from this tangle of madness and just live how I want to live, never having to involve myself with anyone. My dream would be my own island, but as that’s not really feasible, I’ll settle for my own ranch in a place like Texas or Arizona (it has to be warm). As soon as I finish college, I intend to fulfill this dream.

How I did it: I gathered up all the books I know I'll never read again and listed them. Most books had photos online registered with the their ISBN numbers, and all I had to do was describe the condition of the book. Ebay's format makes the process incredibly easy to do. Read how I did it…
I decided to become well-read by reading all the classics ever written—-before I realized how incredibly boring most of the were. (ex., Northanger Abbey, The Swiss Family Robinson, Little Women) So now I have tons of books, and not the slightest inclination to read them. Thank goodness for sheer force of willpower.
What do I want to do with my life? I have no clue and it’s driving me mad. I’m the kind of person who needs things planned out…. I’m also the kind of person who can’t make a decision. THERE ARE FIFTY MILLION THINGS TO MAJOR IN! How am I supposed to choose just one? I’m a sophomore in high school right now, and the thought of not knowing which college I’m going to because I don’t know what I want to major in is… Like an itch that I want to scratch but I can’t because I can’t reach it. I’m considering Pharmacy, but am I really all that great in math and science? No, I’m not, I’m much better at English and Literature, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life writing or anything of the sort. HELP ME.
