Let me tell you how this blog post is going to go: I'm going to gush a little bit about my fears and then we'll end on a positive note with a little motivation.
'Cause Homegirl needs it.
P.S. I refer to myself as Homegirl and Momma a lot. I am not ghetto nor am I a mother, but here we are...
I am truly terrified of my future.

I have great plans laid out though:
I will graduate in May 2015 with my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. I will get all A's for the remaining two semesters that I have. I will raise my GPA to at least a 3.75. I will take the LSAT in December of this year. I will pass with at least a 160. I will apply to William & Mary Law in Virginia and I will be accepted! I will graduate from law school and become a successful attorney. I will be proud of everything I have accomplished.
Here's where things get squirelly. (sp? Love that word though.)
With my husband being in the Navy, we have to match the future with a Navy base that has a law school that is relatively close. That's been fun. We also have to match it with a good Navy base that has a job that will help my husband with his military career. The one law school that works out pretty decently for me is next to a base he does not want to go to. Great. We also have to match it with a law school that is decent and will not charge a million dollars a year in tuition.
Moreover, my husband has to put in for orders in about 20 minutes (well, it seems like it anyway) so I have to decide where I want to go before I can even apply to see whether or not I will be admitted.
So needless to say, things are getting hairy.
And all of this makes me so nervous. Those stupid what-if's. What if my husband makes the sacrifice of going to a base he hates on the hope I will get into a school and I don't? What if I don't get in, we're there, and I don't have any backups. It's not like I have the luxury of just moving across the country to the law school I would like to go to. Well, it's a possibility, but I don't want to do that. My husband is never here as it is and that would just bankrupt us emotionally. What if I don't get the LSAT score I need? What if I can't get my GPA up high enough? What if my husband can't get stationed close to that law school? What if my husband can't get stationed close to ANY law school?
What if's KILL me...always have.
But I saw this and it totally spoke to me:
I guess here's what I need to believe:

Cause let's be honest, sometimes you just have to let go and believe.
Be honest: Tell me something you would love to accomplish, but might be holding yourself back from accomplishing?
