Relient K, uncertainty and knowing everything will be just fine

Hi, my name is Rebecca. And I am addicted to planning.
I’ve been a planner for as long as I can remember. I’m the girl who picked out her college major during sophomore year of high school… and stuck with it. I’m the girl who plans her finances dollar-for-dollar so she can afford that one special “item” (for me, it’s usually a pair of shoes I’ve been drooling over) months from now. I’m the girl who starts writing her two-page assignment weeks before it’s due.
As a planning addict, it scares me that I have absolutely no clue what life will bring after I graduate on May 15. I had a small “wow, I’m graduating and have no clue where I’ll be in a few months” moment while discussing the job search, moving and taking an internship vs. holding out for an entry-level position with my mom this past weekend.
Although I don’t know what the future holds, I do know one thing: It’s going to be great.
Relient K is one of those bands that “speaks” to me. I’m pretty sure the group follows my life on Facebook and Twitter and writes a song for every situation I’m facing. When I went through my iTunes library this weekend, I found these Relient K lyrics were a reflection of this “season” in my life:
A year’s passed since I wrote this song. A lot’s gone right; a lot’s gone wrong. But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side. And I see the sun still shines. It shines outside and in my life, and I know that everything is gonna be just fine.
So to all you graduating seniors out there: We have a bumpy road ahead of us. However, PR’s 2010 outlook is optimistic, and I am confident that we’ll be rockin’ the PR world in no time. Just know that in the end, everything will be just fine. 🙂

How about this rK song?

Oh no, not for me, not for me
Call it torture, call it university
No, arts and crafts is all i need
I’ll take caligraphy and then i’ll make a fake degree

I consider myself a planner too and even though I changed my mind about my major when I was in college, part of my life plan was grad school and here I am. But I think as you get older, planning everything sometimes takes the fun out of life. As scary as it may seem, not knowing what the future holds is a lot more exciting than knowing exactly what the future holds. My advice is go out and experience the world; move to another city, travel, be young and enjoy life because as John Lennon says “life is what happens to you’re busy making other plans.”

You make a great point, Christina. Change is inevitable, and opportunities can slip away if you have narrow vision. I’m just going to enjoy the ride!
