Luck?

I'm just lucky....

I'm fortunate to know early in my college career that English is the major that's right for me...the reason why i like it because it's so well rounded and it gives you so much options when it comes to picking a career in the future....also it give you so much space to pick several minors that overlap with each other or another major that is competely different from English...everythings just takes a bit of planning and preparation...most people assume that English majors will automatically become teachers....most people don't know that there are options out there...most people are lazy and they're afraid to think out of the box because they want to be comfortable or they don't do their research because they're too lazy...while others assume that english majors are just pie-in-the-sky thinkers, and all they do is write or talk about literature or write about talking literature...some people jump to conclusions that they don't like english because it's boring and they have the audicity to say it in your face but while others defend their propensity for english, the other party will say "that's you" (really?) but if others insult their major, they think you're crazy or something...some people will ask me, what can you do with a degree in english...prior to actually exploring and researching my field, I answered "i'll become a teacher" now I boldly say work in a publishing company, publish and illustrate my children's book (prospective caldecott winner), work for Disney, work for the newspaper, for an advertising company, become a tutor, be a lawyer, a lyricist, a playwright and tons more...when people are miserable, they like to see other people miserable with them, when they're hopeless, they want to make others hopeless, ..if they suck, they want others to be as sucky as them...i'm going to be realistic and not be like one of those depressed danny's or suicidal sally's,...life is what you make of it...so you can be miserable or happy even if it is so-called "predestined"........you make it...just like all the man made problems out there are artificial os is your state of mind even if God "programmed you" you push the buttons...i'm going to be happy and make the most of my time on earth and if people abhor this, too bad, live your own life, don't control mine!*

*This is just an exercise of ranting so no one should take offense to this, thank you, please don't forget to purchase a kwiupee doll!
