I always felt like I was lost in life. Like I never really belonged. While in high school, all my friends or other classmates had an idea what they were going to do in life, weather it was their careers or potential travels. I just felt lost.

My parents never understood me or asked about what I wanted in life. They made their own plan for me. They wanted me to go to law school and get a degree to take over my family's company once they felt I was ready.

It's nice to have my life mapped out for myself, I guess. Maybe that's why I always felt like I never had to figure out what I wanted for myself. The more I think about it now, sitting in my lecture, the more I realize law is not an interest of mine.

It's hard trying to live up to my parent's expectations. I don't want to disappoint my father and mother. They gave me everything I've ever needed and more. I can't say they are very supportive or open to my ideas but they have always ensured I had what I needed and wanted.

So, that's what I will continue to do. Try to live up to their expectations and show them I can take on my fathers company after my studies. It's all I could ever think or breathe. I've never had a normal life, never had a boyfriend, never snuck out of my home, and certainly have never done anything rebellious.

It's not something I have ever thought about or even attempted to do. I'm just Cassie, next in line to take over Clark Law. My father created his own law firm. The best in New York. His team always take on the biggest cases, my father has never lost a case. He takes pride in his company and wants to ensure I do the same.

It's a heavy weight to put on a 23 year old college student.

My schedule is pretty boring. Wake up, get dressed, grab a coffee at the local coffee shop on the way to my classes, I might grab lunch with my best friends, Lacy and Carter, then head home to complete school work. I'm in my last year of law school so my deadline is getting closer, as my father says.

Hopefully I can graduate and start my internship at my fathers law firm without something crazy ruining my life plan...
