I've noticed that every semester my personal life gets so chaotic. I won't lie, most of it is my fault. I become so focused that everything else kind of falls by the wayside. The thing about this realization is... I'm okay with it.
For the past eight years I've worked so hard to get my career on track. It's taken years but I've finally figured out the right formula, and because of that I'm not willing to sacrifice my goals.
The thing of it is, I've always been a career oriented person. I've never been "that girl" who was thinking about getting married and having kids. I mean don't get me wrong, I do want those things and I have gotten caught up or even distracted in some relationships but those are things I'm willing to let happen it its own time. I'm not actively pursuing them like I am my career.
So when I don't have time to hang out with friends, that's okay with me. If they're my real friends that will understand. It's not as if I will never get together with them. Sometimes I don't have time to clean my place and on occasions I send all my laundry to the dry cleaners because I don't have time to wash them. These are all temporary situations because once the semester is over everything is semi-normal.
Some may say that I'm selfish and maybe I am. So! Isn't that what your 20s are for? To focus on yourself and building towards your future. When i get into my thirties I can focus on marriage and having babies. Until then I'm going to stick to what I'm doing which is laying the foundation to an empire.
