"it's for your own good"

I am seriously tired of hearing people nag at me about everything I decide to do and then saying that it's "for your own good". No... no it's not for my own goddamn good. It's because every decision I make about my stupid life is apparently, a)not good enough or b)not right. And y'know what, they're my decisions. I know that as my parents, they want to see me do well and be happy. But that doesn't mean that I am incapable of making the decisions that will get me there.

Contrary to what everyone seems to think, I am indeed very worried about my grad school situation and actively looking at my options, making lists of schools and contacts and generally getting my shit together. This does not mean that every second I am sitting at my laptop, that I will be looking at school sites.

UGH. I dunno I'm just very irritated and wish people (read: my family) would trust me enough to get everything into proper order. My mom asked me tonight where the smart girl who went off to college 5 years ago had gone.

Guess what mom. She's still here and getting increasingly irritated by these shenanigans.
