Where are you going?

I'm not sure exactly where I am headed at this point in time. There is still a lot that I need to figure out about what I want so it will probably take me a year or so to figure it out. Right now all I have an idea that I want to do something in the business field but that could change at any given point in the future. I like where I'm at right now, so I may just keep to what I'm doing and see where that goes. I've been very successful with working as a a cashier at Target and saving money for the future. I may end up staying there for a while depending on how I feel working there in the next few months. I know I can get a business entrepreneurship for working as a manager at my store, but that depends on how I feel working there for the rest of my life. School can seem like a drag at some points, but I get through it.
I am pretty sure I am going to stay in the same area for the remainder of my life. I am content with where I grew up in San Dimas. I don't know if I'll stay in that exact city but at least within thirty minutes of it. The farthest I will probably move to is either somewhere in San Bernardino or Riverside or out towards Long Beach or Redondo Beach or the North Hollywood area. I know theres a big difference out there from where I live now, but I guess I will just have to get used to it when the time comes to living there.
For the last few months I was set on going to a different college all together than CSUSB, but I decided at last minute that this place fit me best. My goal was to go to Pasadena City College and transfer to UC Santa Barbara. I went to PCC trying to figure out what I want to do and I got no help from anyone there. I figured that could be a sign that I shouldn't go down that path. So I refigured my plan and decided to stick with CSUSB. I'm pretty sure I'll stay here and not transfer to anywhere else.

My City's Playlist

This is a list of songs I used to describe some of the elements of what my city feels to me.

San Dimas, CA
1. Me and My Friends
Hank Williams III
Damn Right Rebel Proud
2008
I had great times with my friends in high school. This song reminds me of how great I felt during those times.
2. Carmelita
GG Allin and the Criminal Quartet
Carnival of Excess
1995
This song has the western feeling that my town is trying to portray. It’s also bout someone on the outskirts of town, and my home is on the outskirts of town.
3. Rock the 40 Oz
Leftover Crack
Mediocre Generica
2001
This song reminds me of the great times I had with my friends in high school. I remember that feeling of freedom I had.
4. Cold Lonesome Wind
Wayne Hancock
Thunderstorm and Neon Signs
1995
There is usually a lot of wind up near my house where I live in the mountains. This song has the feeling of the cold and lonely nights there can be up in the mountain of my city.
5. Stay Away From the Forest Boy
Those Poor Bastards
Hellfire Hyms
2007
Theres always a warning of not going up into the forest along because of the danger of getting attacked by the mountain lions up there. Theres a feeling of risk with going up to the forest in the mountain.
