To Settle or Not To Settle?

I'm surrounded by geniuses and the competiton is stiff
But I like challenges so I'm gonna roll with it....


A newly acquired friend of mine has been stressing over a certain 'pothole' in her life. She's really young and this may soon pass but it's got me thinking. Is it right for us to set standards for our significant others? Standards that they may have no intentions of living up to.


This friend of mine is very similar to me. We bascially have to same goals in life. Get into medical school, get our M.D. degree, marry our prince charming and live happily ever after (yes, it's that simple!).


Thing is... we have certain standards that our 'potential' prince charming have to live up to in order to qualify for the position.

First and foremost, he must have the same or at least similiar religious beliefs to the ones we have. Secondly, he must be physically attractive and have a nice personality (loyal, humble, kind, caring, funny...etc). Finally, he must be academically inclined... well he has to at least be aiming to get an M.D degree or equivalent... PhD in something worthwhile.


Is this too much to ask? (the whole M.D/ PhD. thing?)

Are our standards too high?

Bad Habits

So... all the bad habits I've kicked are somehow finding their ways back under my skin. From the excessive consumption of junk food, to slacking off in school, to biting my nails, they are all coming back!!!

Recently, I've been having really strong urges to eat junk food. I crave chocolate and french fries all day!!! And if that wasn't bad enough I have no desire to study or do anything related to academics. Can you believe that? Me, Nahjaj not wanting to study!!! I live for school!!! Next thing you are gonna hear is I don't have a crush!!!

What is happening to me?!?!?!
