This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Wyoming chapter.

It seems like in college people get 100x more interested in your future. Like what are you doing after college? Honestly, no one really knows.

Here are 5 common questions people are asked about their future, and 5 realistic answers to those questions.

 

1. What do you want to be when you grow up?

A princess? To be honest, I get asked this question a lot… in college.

 

2. What are you passionate about?

Alcohol. That is all.

 

3. What are your greatest accomplishments?

Well, I did get out of bed this morning before noon so, I guess you can say I’m doing great.

 

4. What are your short-term and long-term goals?

Short Term… let’s get through this semester. As for long term, do you want me to answer with, “I imagine a white picket fence and a husband and two kids and a dog?” Yeah. That’s realistic. Rather, “I will be running for President.” Let’s try, I will be more responsible with my paychecks (and not buy out the Pizza Rolls from Walmart).

 

5. Any kids?

I can’t even be responsible for myself, so what makes you think a kid will be any better?

“Sometimes you want to have a very productive Saturday to feel that you are in control of your life, which of course you are not.” -Tina Fey, Bossypants Jamie Bridenstine... How do I even begin to explain Jamie Bridenstine. Jamie Bridenstine is flawless. She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus. I hear her hair's insured for $10,000. I hear she does car commercials... in Japan. Her favorite movie is Varsity Blues. One time, she met John Stamos on a plane. And he told her she was pretty. One time, she punched me in the face. It was awesome. Jamie Bridenstine is a 4th year undergrad at the University of Wyoming, earning her B.A. in Communication and a minor in Military Science. Her favorite move is Mean Girls... and any movie with Tina Fey in it. She enjoys deep conversations about politics, procrastinating on group projects, and watching The Office over and over again. Jamie has the cutest dog in the world, Timber, and is ready to take on the world after college. She will be heading up to Washington after graduation to pursue her career in the military... and hopefully her graduate degree in Public Relations.
