I'm almost done with high school and have plans to finish college before I start a family. I still want to do that, I just want to skip ahead to the part where I'm ready to get married and have children, but I wish it could happen so that I've just been sort of on autopilot throughout college. I want all the knowledge, experience, and memories of college, but I want to get to what I feel I was put here for, being a mother. If it wouldn't practically ruin my plan for my education, I would get married and have a baby as soon as possible. Even now, I'm trying to convince my parents and friends to buy me a baby think it over so I can simulate what it would be like have a child.

I took child development, cared for a baby think it over, and loved it. The teacher got freaked out when I said I wished I could keep the baby longer. I was the only girl in the class who didn't complain during the pregnancy simulation or the baby think it over project. I have a tendency to mother my friends, the younger girls at the all-girl summer camp I volunteer at, even people I've just met through my friends. Is it normal for a girl to be so maternal?

    I was just like you. I felt like I wanted to get married and have a baby immediatly. I ended up getting pregnant, quiting nursing school, and getting married. I am now divorced, no college degree, and I feel like I missed out on a lot of things. Don't get me wrong...I love my kids, and I am going back to school now. I am just saying that no matter how overwhelming the feeling...stay in school. You have plenty of time.

    I have no plans of starting a family until I've finished my education and I marry someone I really love. I would love to have children soon, but I'm waiting, don't worry. I'm the one my friends come to when they've ended up pregnant or want someone to go with them when they get birth control, so I'm well aware of the issues of teen pregnancy and the way it makes the girls feel. I just wish I could speed up my life, the way you could fast forward through a movie, so that I haven't bypassed my education.

    I guess another way to explain might be that I wish I could wake up one morning and have my college years be a memory, but have my wedding and everything else still in my future.
