Oh and thank you. There are actually like 10 #1's though, so don't think it is that special...

I am generally a pretty pessimistic person, although a realist on a good day, but I just have to tell you to stop worrying. I didn't even seriously start thinking about college until my senior year, which is bad, but now I'm going to the school I wanted to go to so I can't complain. When you worry, especially outloud, people get headaches. And then it will create a domino effect, only in this case it will be misery. And soon everyone in the whole world will be miserable, and it will be all your fault. If you're not worrying about college and just life in general, well stop it. There is no point. Worrying never solved anything. You can think, "Oh hell, I really screwed that up," but don't dwell on it. I already realize that I am in the process of throwing away my chance at a successful future, just because I want to be a writer, or a teacher, or a writing teacher. Or a teaching writer. And everyone tells me that I'm not ambitious enough, and that I can be so much better, and make much more money doing this or that. But really I know that I could be content working in a used bookstore. I don't really care about my job. I don't care what my money comes from (although I prefer hard labor because I feel like I've earned it that way). I just try to focus on being a better person than I think I am, and being good to other people, except when I'm insulting them, and I think that will bring me more happiness than anything else could. So yeah! Good for that!
