I am a college student right now with a bright future ahead of me, only problem is I don't know exactly which path my future will take. I am a junior in college and still am on the undecided track. I am good in a lot of things but I really don't know what I want to do and it sucks because school isn't cheap, luckily my parents are paying for it but I want to be able to have a degree in something worthwhile before I graduate. Is it too late for me? And if not what should I do from this point on?




Dear Bright Future,

First of all, I want to commend you not only for the optimistic outlook that you have when it comes to your future, but also for reaching out and asking questions to ensure that you are on the right path or doing what it takes to get there. Let me be frank though, IT IS NOT TOO LATE!! I will even go as far as to say it is never too late. Being a college graduate myself, I dealt with exactly what you are going through. Trying to make sense of what your purpose in life may be, wanting to make sure that you are making the most of your college years, and ultimately graduating from college with a degree that is beneficial. My advice to you, USE YOUR RESOURCES! Although you did not say what school you attend, most colleges and universities have a Career Resource Center and/or Experiential Learning Department (department that assists students with obtaining internships or externships) that you can visit and speak to a counselor who is equipped with tools and information to help you pin-point what specialty you may be most interested in. Those resources usually include: career/personality assessments, resume building, career workshops, internship fairs, and networking materials that can be a great help in zeroing in on what you may be interested in and/or have a passion for. Now let’s be real! Nowadays, most college grads aren’t working in the field that they have majored in anyway! Young high school graduates, and even current college students are being advised to go into a major that is more practical to the employment outlook for the next few years. While it makes sense for paying the bills, don’t let that deter you from gaining experience in a field that may be “impractical” because higher education is supposed to assist in making us “well-rounded” individuals. Getting a minor in a field that you enjoy, or possibly a certificate, may be a good idea. All in all, life is a classroom, albeit informal, and you will be learning and adding to your resume for the rest of your life. Don’t place too much pressure on yourself if you don’t quite know what that may be right now. Talk to recent grads, your parents, professors, anyone who has the wealth of knowledge when it comes to college, and you might be surprised with what you hear. I wish you the best with your collegiate success!

My name is Trisha and I have an issue. My friends have given me mixed reviews about my decision to get a boob job. I have been contemplating this for quite some time now and there is no doubt that I am going through with it. I feel like they are the final piece to my ensemble. I have a beautiful condo, great job, new luxury car, and I know I am attractive. I'm just being honest. I think this is going to give me the advantage I need and help me finally fall in love and tie the knot, but my friends just don't understand. I mean what else can I possibly say to get them to understand my reasons?




Trisha, let's be honest. There is nothing wrong with you wanting to do something for yourself that you have taken the time to consider and weigh its importance. If it is that meaningful then you have every right to make that decision for yourself. But BE for REAL! Do you think your intentions and motives carry enough weight to sustain a relationship strong enough to build a marriage? Do you honestly think that your overall visual perception is going to win you a man, let alone a husband? It may but how much depth can you get by being so shallow? It seems to me that you think by enhancing what you feel you lack in your chest area, you can complete this presentation that will cause a man to fall in love with you. What does that say about your personality, your wit, your intelligence, intellect, or sense of humor? You didn't mention those qualities as if they aren't a factor in retaining a real man's attention. Have you ever thought that maybe your friends feel like you might be selling yourself short, or that they feel you deserve a man that appreciates more than the things you have and the size of your tata's? Think about it. If you think your looks alone can steal a man's attention, then what happens when he sees something he thinks is more attractive to him? Be true to yourself, know your self worth, and do it for yourself. Make sure the reasons behind you making this change are ones you are ready to live with, even if they don't work out as planned. I wish you the best on your breasts!
