21 Answers to the Question: What are You Planning on Doing In Your Future?



THIS QUESTION. I have lost count of the hundreds of times I've been asked this...all within the last couple years of my life. Since most of you all are high school age, you might actually find some of this post helpful as well as entertaining. For that reason, I tried to sprinkle a few honest answers among the what-we-WISH-we-could-say answers. ;) Hope you enjoy!

1: "Nothing. Obviously."

2: "LEAVING IT ALONE."


3: "Lots of big, important things." (If they ask you to be more specific, see answer 6, 8, and 13.)


4: "I'm really hoping God comes back before I have to worry about that."


5: "Define planning."


6: "Doing college, getting married, having kids, and then dying at a ripe old age."


7: "Wouldn't you like know..."


8: "Cool stuff. Like sleeping."


9: "I don't really want to talk about it right now."


10: "Probably something...at some point."


11: *internal screaming* Or external screaming for that matter. Your choice.


12: "Still thinking about that one." 


13: "Becoming a rich and famous _____________."


14: "I have NO IDEA." 


15: "How old are you and how much do you weigh? You don't have to answer my questions if I don't have to answer yours."


16: "WHY DOES EVERYBODY ASK ME THIS QUESTION?" 


17: "Reading, writing, and 'rithmatic."


18: "Uh...."


19: "COOKIES!" (If you can say it in Cookie Monster's voice, all the better)


20: "I want to become a better person."

21: "Whatever God leads me to do." 


 

Out of curiosity (and since I'll eventually run out of questions to answer if I'm going to keep this up every month) what are some FAQs you've been asked during your life that you want me to answer? Let me know in your comment and you might see them answered 21 times in a future post. ;)

  2. Are they all yours? xD We have the most sarcastic answers to this, but I'd love some more. ;P
    I loved these! Especially #7. ;) Though it's looking like I'll *actually* have an answer this year, since I'm going to begin working on my bachelor of science in nursing. I'm . . . internally screaming right now.
    But I so love these! I can't wait till the next one!

  3. Yes! These lists! I love these lists.

    Oh gosh, um... What college do you go to? Is one I get a lot, but I'm tall for my age. What are you writing about/what's your book about? Is a frequent and hard one.

  6. This was a fun post, it made me laugh! I've been asked a lot of these questions and have learned to roll with it. I like to answer questions like this "SO Yeah what do you want to do with your life? what are your future goals?" with a totally serious face and go "My Future goal is to rule the whole world!! AHAHAHA!!"

  10. I'm a senior and I AM TOTALLY SUPER TIRED OF THIS ALL QUESTION. It's like all the adults I know who aren't my teachers or my parents have no idea what else to talk to me about (ideas: what I do with my time, like now. (answer: mainly homework but hey whatever), or how I feel about politics (yes, I am 17 and capable of opinions), or the weather). Anyway thank you for this post because yes it is too true.
