So last Wednesday we were talking about our careers and what we wanted to be blah blah blah. We had to sit in a circle and say what we wanted to be, who we wanted to marry, basically what we wanted our future to be like.
So we get to me and I say ‘I want to be a doctor.’ Before I can say who I want to marry, a ‘friend’ of mine said “Oh, I bet you’ll marry a nice man. Lots would kill for that income.” I looked my friend straight in the eye and said ‘no, I want to marry my best friend Addi. And we’re gonna live in a small apartment in New York and have two cats and a dog and it’s gonna be awesome.’
I basically outed myself to the whole class. Luckily, my teacher was having none of my shit and said ‘(name), this is serious. There has to be some nice boy in this room you want to marry.’ I looked around, sweeping my eyes over the male population beside me, and looked back to her, and very confidently said ‘nope, Addi and I are a better match.’
My teacher may or may not hate me now.
