22 year old 40 hour a week college girl

I think I am entitled to a catch up post?



About me
If I could choose a shadow, Sophie would have my complete support!
I am home. I work at a bank, and love it! I get stressed, I go out with my co-workers, I complain about the job, I do things well, I make "work" jokes and then come home and talk about the life of a 22 year old 40 hour a week college girl. I am finishing up school online (still at BYUI) and keeping my parents busy. I am in love with it all.

Hobbies
My 3 best friends have all moved home too... so we are once again minutes apart. Over the summer Chloe, Sophie and I had weekly day dates. I can't stand that they are getting older. I love though that they still fight over me sleeping with them. My boyfriend, I love him. And even though the hour drive between us is a drag, the feeling I get when he runs out to my car to greet me makes it a little better.
Chloe works my computer better than me... resulting in self portraits. [adorb's]
Dreams
I think that if I can't have crazy dreams at 22, when can I? I love elephants. I want to ride on one. I want then to own one (realize that is mostly likely a daydream dream). So I would like to contribute to a foundation for elephants (more sensible). I want to skydive. I want to backpack through somewhere beautiful, and not worry about bug, dirt and the dark for days. And move into a house where I plant a tree and watch it grow to be apart of the house.

Fears
I am terrified of bugs, and anything that crawls (except babies). I am scared of mono and lice. And before I go to bed, I have to turn on my bedside lamp, off my room lights, tuck into bed, and then turn off the lamp. The dark and under the bed is troublesome as well. 

Goals
Hey there good lookin'. ;]
Run a marathon. Graduate with my BA (documented for my mother). Cook a dinner from scratch. Be successful, in whatever I choose to be.

Desire
I want to be the type of person that does more than just lives a comfortable life. I can achieve that. At age 22, I give myself a good 3-4 years till I am settled and happy. I have no doubts in that dream. However, I want to do more. I want to do something that will benefit someone else. I think the concept stays a concept for most people, no one turns it into a plan. I have talked with groups of people, taken hours of classes, and read pages of books all dedicated to one thought: giving back. I could go on for pages about a personalized action plan... however it comes down to one part. I want to do something that isn't just for me or my family. I want my life to make another life better. I have a desire to accomplish this idea, concept, thought.
My very best friends.

Well....
I think I just about covered everything I wanted to talk about. Juggling the family, work, friends and boyfriend is a full time life. My problems are quite wonderful ones to have. :]
