about

I am NOT THE USUAL. I am a woman with many ideas, thoughts and experiences to share. I am not the usual because even though I am a female, I am not into the whole cooking and fashion type things. I am more about interactions with people, be it your friends, family or special someone. I have maintained a very successful relationship for over a decade and every day we grow together.

I have to say that the main reason I looked into something like this is because my friends and family use me so much as their own personal therapist and thought that I should start my own advice column somewhere. So I am here to further my skills and see if I can be of help to others.

I have also set up other successful couples that still come to me with question after question on what to do in different instances. This is because every one can use some true to life, honest, non-biased, non sexist advice and I have that to offer.

Those in denial may not be ready to deal with my advice. I have helped others find their faults, admit love, and even apologize for wrong doings. Only the mature can handle what I have to offer.

Please don't come here thinking this woman will join the male-bashing because I won't. I love men and all they stand for but know that all men are not equal and I do dislike the scum but I am fair.

Please, use me up at your own will for as long as you have me because soon, I will only be found in your local paper or favorite magazine, with my own column.

Young and old, come visit, let's see what we can learn from eachother.

I don't know what to say or do. I graduated college a few months ago, and now my parents are on my back about doing something with my life, as they like to put it. I got in a huge fight with them over this, and I have ZERO support from them.
-what I want: job/internship in magazines to gain experience, and then eventually go to grad school.
-what they want: get a job, and apply to grad school at the same time.

I want to get job experience BEFORE I apply to grad school (journalism), but that is something they absolutely fail to understand. I don't know what to tell them...it's as though every chance they get, they're on my back about this.
I had a terrible day thinking about it, and it always makes me feel like complete crap.
What should I do?

You said it right; Parents just dont understand. You have your own ideas and thoughts and even your own plan, which is all good but parents start our planning for us once you hit grade school and what parent wants to be wrong or not followed.

They may not like what you have planned for your life but you're already on the right track since you have a plan and know what you want to do.

Definitely hear them out and decipher if they had any advice that you could follow that may make things easier for you but in the end, you are in control over your life. You may find a way to amaze them and show them your dream from your own actions and making it happen.

Without support many things are more difficult to accomplish but not impossible. Show them you have what it takes to succeed and they will soon be right behind you once they see how invested you are in doing what needs to be done for yourself.
