It's crazy to see how much change occurs in the course of a year. I've done a lot of growing up since last February, so much that I erased all my old posts. They were a bit ridiculous :).
I am now writing because I have a lot going on in my life. I am balancing a 16 credit hour semester for my bioengineering major, with atleast 20 hours a week of work, time for my girlfriends, my boy that is a good friend (currently on a break :( ), and mort importantly, to preserve my sanity, me time. This right here would qualify as me time. I also like to run and hike. Anything that clears my head and allows me to get a fresh perspective on things happening in my life.
I am experiencing a lot of conflict right now, in almost every aspect of my life. Relationships, my independence from my parents, what career I will choose, splitting up time between different friends, and a little bit with my image. The most important thing is that I stay true to my values. Sometimes it's hard to tell where the line is between my opinions, and society's.
I kind of like it this way though. If I had it all figured out, wouldn't that just be boring? So here, I present my space where I can contemplate all my conflict, and maybe actually seeing it words will help me form some better solutions, rather than just relying on going through things in my head.
This isn't intended to be literature for the public, however I do have my settings on public, incase anyone would like to give me their insight on a certain matter, or even possibly learn from my insight! Just don't expect this to always be an entertaining piece.

What you just described is not only part of growing up, but also part of life. Very few don't bother with thoughts of image or balancing friends, work, education, and play (maybe Einstein or Edison?) Most however think about it and then let fate takes its course. Not wise.
As you age, you will look back at these times as almost entertaining. A full time career alone introduces political and social professionalism etiquette that can not get in the way of actual work but are in many ways more crucial to employment. Then there is the work involved maintaining a healthy marriage. Perhaps also are the challenges of raising children that are kind and smart enough to make it out of high school and through college without social influences bringing them down a less desirable path. Then there are financial issues like none you have experienced, and dealing with elder parents.
So you see, it is healthy and educational that at this young age you are acknowledging the choices you have in life and are making conscience well thought out responses. It will serve you well in the future such that the scary portrayal of adult life above will really just be seen as the creation of your legacy once you age further. Take Care
