When you're in your twenties, life basically tells you that you have to figure out your end goal. No more undecided crap, you have to pick something and then work to that goal in order to have a successful life. 

But the more I think about it, I'm like no. I decide my future. And when I'm 70 years old and in my coffin, I still want to be asking myself what do I want to be when I grow up. Because even though it is like really hard to switch careers and people will say it's impossible, YOU SAY TO THEM, NO, YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE. 

I have a lot of careers I am interested in, and have been for a while. Right now I am at a school studying Media, Culture and the Arts with a minor in Business. Do I seem like the kind of person to do business with? No. I would not trust the person who thinks that I can be in a professional setting. 

I know who I am, I feel like I can accurately define myself. I'm like a California 4, a New York 5 and an Antartica 10 because there I'm your only option.  Career wise I would probably be best suited as a quirky kindergarten teacher who later gets fired because she ate all the kid's paste. 

But whatever, I still have my whole life to experiment with different jobs. 

So to encourage you to not give up on your goals, here is a list of all my current and past dream jobs. I'll let you know why, how far I got with it and how to achieve the goal in the years to come. 

A Prima Ballerina 

I started dancing at California Academy of Performing Arts, when I was just 3 years old. I freakin loved it. I loved to dance, I loved my teachers and I especially loved my friends. I wanted to be a Prima Ballerina when I graduated and come back to CAPA and be like "hey guys it's amy, remember me I'm a star now and I'm just visiting my humble beginnings location". Then when I was about fifteen years old, I got tendonitis in my achilles. It sucked. I still danced but I had to quit ballet and that was really hard. But don't worry I wasn't even good so it's no loss to the ballet community, only my sad heart. 

How far did I get?: 15. I already said that. 

What can I do to achieve this goal, you ask?: Um get new legs? I don't know SHUT UP. 

A Gymnast Like Shawn Johnson Because I Love Her

In 2008, Shawn Johnson was the Olympic balance beam gold medalist and all-around floor exercise silver medalist. I love the Olympics, I love the women's gymnastics portion and I LOVE SHAWN. My mom and I religiously watched that year and it really made me want to become an Olympic gymnast. After the Olympics, I started practicing Shawn's routines(without the flips or anything hard) (basically hand gestures), and watched any news coverage starring Shawn. At one point she said she had a stalker that was planning on kidnapping her and I was like is she talking about me? Did I take this too far? Turned out it was like a crazy stalker 40 year old man from Texas. I was relieved it wasn't me, and then I was like wow this guy is crazy, the things some people would do to be friends with Shawn am I right?

Anyways

How far did I get?: I once went to a birthday party for my older sister Jenna at a trapeze place. Yes you read that right. And if you want to humiliate her for it message me and I'll give you her home address and we can meet up and egg her house. Anyways that is probably how far I have gotten, wait is trapeze even related to gymnastics?

What can I do to achieve this goal: Probably try and go back in time and start at a young age because I read you can't really start is up so late in life. So my answer is time machine. 

Being Marilyn Monroe 

My mom and I love Marilyn and have seen all movies/movies about her life. Even at a young age I saw her as an idol.

How far did I get?: This photo. 

What can I do to achieve this goal: Nothing she is perfect and I will never be her. NO ONE REPLACES MARILYN. 

Being A Disney Princess 

Who didn't want to be a Disney Princess when they were younger? I did, and I even showed my dream proudly at the school Halloween parade. To be honest I think this dream in particular is the saddest. Because looking at that chubby face makes me feel sorry for my mom, who clearly knew my aspirations in life. Actually no, my mom not only thinks I can be anything, she thinks I should be anything I want. If that was my kid I would be taking that photo thinking "maybe she'll turn out really sassy and get her own reality show or something. Probably not though", but to my mom she was probably thinking "oh my gosh every mom here must be so jealous of me, she is the spiting image of Ariel, I should call an agent for her". 

How far did I get?: NOT FAR OK

What can I do to achieve this goal: SHUT UP

Being Jane from Tarzan and living in the wild 

This one is really serious for me. Jane is my ultimate girl crush, I have seen Tarzan about a million times. I watch it monthly just to stay up to date with the memorization of the lines, and to remind myself to move to the Amazon and study monkeys. But I also hate walking everywhere, I'm really allergic to poison oak and mangoes and other tropical plants, and I am afraid of untamed monkeys. 

How far did I get?:  Today I went outside. 

What can I do to achieve this goal: Move to the jungle, be British, go by Jane Porter and marry an ape man. 

Actually you guys, give up on your goals. Get a steady job with security and then cry yourself to sleep every night, wishing you were someone else. My friend does that and she is totally sane, her name's Amy. Different Amy than me. Ok end of post.
