My sister made the mistake of telling my mother that i need to get a job while i am going to school. While she is correct in being concerned about my financial well-being, i cannot handle all the things i need to do this semester. I will be going to school full-time, tutoring, volunteering at two places, and (hopefully) seeing my wonderful boyfriend when i am able to.
My sister likes to think that she is above everyone else- since she was able to work and go to school at the same time, everyone else should be able to as well.. especially her younger sister.
Newsflash sista! It doesnt work like that.
As much as i want to earn money while i go to school, i dont have the mind for it at the mo. This is not to say that i wont be doing it in the future (because i will be working as soon as i graduate) but i need to enjoy my time at school without stressing out about working and the drama that happens with working..
Am I making sense?
I'm just sick of my sister thinking that what she says doesnt effect me.. and that she can say whatever she wants to and it not have reprocussions on her. The world doesnt work like that. You cant just say something and expect people not to be hurt or dismayed by your unprevoked, unwarranted speech.
if i wanted to know my sister;s opinion, i would have asked her.
Im so sick of people judging me 'pretending' to have my best interests in mind. Life is a constant re-evaluation.. you need to constantly adapt to the changing world, and whether i have a part-time or full-time job.. it shouldnt matter. My job does not define me..
And neither does my sister.
