I kind of was feeling like, sometimes you think that you should be putting forth more effort, to be striving for that A instead of the B+ - and pursuing that same kind of mentality with the rest of your life. (ie. work, relationships, friendships.) Sometimes I said to myself "If only I had studied harder, tried harder, done things this way, things would have been better." But sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow and not think about things too much because they turn out to be just as good. <br /><br />I think I'm kind of stuck in limbo between what I want and what Society expects of me. (I wrote a bunch about this in my private blog) If I break it down more, I am in certain ways above average. I'm the first person in my overall family to get their Masters and in my immediate family to get my Bachelors, too. I was a Manager at my job by the time I was 22. So, in that way, I feel like there are a lot of expectations from my family as to what I should be doing with my career and my future - when in reality, I just wanna hang out and be happy and live a stress-free life doing something that I enjoy. I know that in the end, the sun is going to shine out of my ass to them either way, no matter what I do, but sometimes I still feel pressure to be above average..scanDEElous.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06615836059691448508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468742979381267560.post-77023077670351383972010-10-28T00:56:21.753-04:002010-10-28T00:56:21.753-04:00i'm not sure why you're complaining... bei...i'm not sure why you're complaining... being B+ isn't so bad, and it's certainly better than being a C or having a life that sucks.<br /><br />it sounds like your "averageness" is of your own making because you said it yourself, you could've studied in school to get an A, but you never did cuz you could just easily get a B+. hey, i was the same. only difference is, i really don't care about getting As or a fancy job. i do make myself stand out in other ways though. <br /><br />i do think it's ok to be average... IF you're okay with it. it doesn't sound to me like you are... so maybe you need to figure out what you wanna be, and then try to get there. good luck!karisuma gyaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448572213520961096noreply@blogger.com
