Parentals

Asian parents have this weird misconception that kids have an infinite amount of free time. Let's have a background check of my life. I am the oldest of three. I have one younger sister and a younger brother. I am a full-time student and on top of that I work 30 hours a week. I've gotten into multiple car accidents which basically means I owe my mom a lot of money. So as it goes, I continue to work and will continue to work all throughout summer and through college, etc. Today was a hard day. Last night, I got food poisoning so I was up majority of the night throwing up or writhing in pain on my bed. I was breaking out in cold sweat and my body felt like it got run over by a 16-Wheeler. By 11:30 AM this morning I felt decent so I decided to work from 2-9. Right when I come home my mom sits me down to lecture about college. Wonderful. It went like this:

Mom: We need to talk. You seem like you have no idea what you're going to do with your life. Have you even thought of a career?
(I HAVE thought of some majors, Public Relations, Kinesiology, or Nutrition)

Me: Yes, Mom. As a matter-of-fact, I have. First of all, I DO know what I want to do with my life and second of all, why now?

Mom: You just have so much free time (WTF?) and I don't want you to end up getting a degree in something pointless like Literature and end up jobless. (Wow.)

Me: I'm working thirty hours a week as a full-time student

Mom: Why are you working so much anyway? Are you buying drugs? When do you have time to study...

Me: Because I want to have some money in my account when I go to college... bye. [DUMB QUESTION!]

I feel like I lose brain cells every time I have these "What-About-Your-Future" conversations with her.

Just an FYI, I am completely confident that I will do well after I leave my home. I am an ambitious girl with a straight head on. I make LEMONADE yo.
