I am not stupid.

People either seem SHOCKED or disappointed that I don't want to study Accounting anymore.
Is it really that UNNATURAL for people to learn about things they actually CARE about?
I mean seriously, there was a phase where I wanted to be an Accountant. Just like there was a phase where I wanted to be a lawyer, a school teacher, and a fire fighter.
But I want to TRAVEL around the world.
I like to look at the people from different places and compare them to the way I live.
I want to learn about their traditions, foods, clothing, celebrations, things like that.
I mean I honestly didn't wake up one day and say to myself "I don't want to be an Accountant."
It has been an on-going thing.
From my keyboarding "Backpacking through Europe" project, to the passion I witnessed on Celebrity Apprentice, to my posters of different countries, to my trip to Seattle. It all finally made sense. I get excited when I think about changing my major, but then I'm not excited anymore because I will have to go through a lot of crap and changes to study what I want.
My mom is still completely unsure of my decision.
She thinks I won't be able to make a living off of what I choose to study.
OMG Have you guys seen The Nannie Dairies?
Well, Annie (played by Scarlett Johannson) also majored in some business-related field and minored in Anthropology and her mother was all "You are supposed to be a CEO, not an Anthropologist".
Anyways, that movie is a good example of going after what makes you happy.
People say I'm crazy.
People say I don't know what I'm thinking.
People say I won't make a living.
Well you know what??
I say, I'm NOT crazy.
I say I DO know what I'm thinking.
I say I WILL make a living.
Because I am freakin Rai Lynn!
I can do anything I put my mind to and I will not only PROVE all these people wrong, but I will be HAPPY with what I study!
So forget all the people who doubt me and may God bless me with a happy life!
