plans

so i was talking to my friend today about the future and she said that i was the only one she knew who had plans so far into the future. i dont think that having a plan for my life is bad but things never go according to plan. for example, in high school i had planned to have finished college by now, have a job, have a boyfriend, and to have accomplished many other things by this age. has any of that actually happened? i mean, i have done some of these things in my "plan" but i definitely have failed in more of my goals than succeeded. i just can't stop thinking about the future and how i want my life to be like but it is leading to more disappointment than anything. i need to start learning to live in the moment, in the present. i mean, i want to..my problem is that i THINK things should be a certain way. i think, "o im 22, i should have done this and this by now", but life isn't like the movies right? my life isn't supposed to be like someone else's right? i have to tell myself that my life is my own and that it's ok for life events to happen at different times that aren't dictated by society or other people. i try and keep on telling myself this but it's been years and honestly i haven't changed at all....
