I was originally planning on being a journalist after graduating from college, even though my mom and my brother were convinced for a long time (since I was little) that I was going to become a teacher. I had been a camp counselor for 4 years in high school/before college and always…Â
When I was I think in middle school maybe (maybe 13-14?0, I was at a Starbucks in Macy's with my mom. While my mom ordered something, I did not, but apparently the guy thought I was so sweet to my mom and very polite or something, that he gave me a frappe on the house.

Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. It starts off with a dad not having enough time for his son, who desperately wants to spend time with him, to eventually the son not having time for his dad, who desperately wants to spend time with his son. I heard this song for the first time…Â
