What I Want Most
FOUND by Erica
in High School Library
This was found by the media specialist in the high school where I teach. I'm not sure if it was for an assignment or just the random thoughts of teenager.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
These are the things I've always wanted, too!!! I guess 4 out of five isn't bad. Maybe one day I'll get to travel the world...
Number four! Be Amish for a bit!
Be amish "for a bit"? "Doin' anything this summer?" " Yeah, might join a cloistered order of nuns for a couple months." Some things you don't do for a "bit"!
Missed the cable/water/electric bills...gonna be Amish for a while. Get it out while you're young. If you're going the vegan way...do it at the same time. Veggies are alot easier to clean than meat.
@vallery: isn't that the dream? To try *everything* for a little bit?
I think that's my dream. :)
endency to blow things all out of proportion. What he meant to say was that his peni
Aren't all teenage thoughts random?
Amish teens get a break from being Amish during rumspringa. Around age 16, they have the option to go outside of their communities and live in the modern world. They can dress in regular clothes and experiment with drugs/alcohol/sex if they so choose too.
It appears this teen is looking for a reverse rumspringa. Instead of living in our society and dealing with all the expectations and peer pressure, they would like to go back to the basics. When you think of it in those terms, for a teenager, it seem like a nice idea.
Mary's guidance counselor marveled at her Remedial Ambition course's last "Life's Wish List" assignment compared to the one she wrote on her first day:
1. buy some lovely clothes
2. live with friends
3. hang out with friends
4. watch movies, do my hair, get a great car, new macbook, pedicures
5 maybe be lead cashier at Target
Apartment? Nah, awesome house. Husband? Nah, be Amish for a bit. I didn't know the last two were mutually exclusive.
The Mennonites call it jungspringe.
If you are Amish, you'd have to travel the world by horse & buggy
i love that she crossed out "husband" and replaced it with "be amish for a bit"
meh, one or the other will do!
Why are we assuming a student wrote it? I reckon it's an unfulfilled teacher...
ummm....don't they marry their cousins?
e in the bee: I was thinking exactly the same.
Maybe I will see Harrison Ford there.
@Feeling: many Amish visitors come to the national park where I work. No horse and buggies, but I am guessing public transportation is permitted (trains, buses). Traveling the world may be slow, if planes are not allowed (boat, maybe?).
I am feeling strongly that this person needs a college "aegree"
I don't think it's an unfulfilled teacher because one would need a college degree to be a teacher..also, the handwriting is auspiciously teenager-esque..
I have say, I'm glad all of you were able to discern "amish" because I saw "amisn"
6. practice my letter ascenders
what was she going to write before she wrote most in the title?
What I Want Someday? What I want Super Bad?
Maybe if she was "amish for a bit," she would appreciate those four other things much more.
So much. I'd also like a lovely job with good money and fun. Good luck with that.
....to be Amish for a bit?
Isn't that like squeezing Anal Bleaching on to the list?
Someone read that "Secrets" book.
I enjoy that she crossed out APARTMENT in favor of an awesome nose.
Of course then I realized (as I was typing this) that it says Awesome House.
But who doesn't want an awesome nose?
I believe this may be in reference to the "iWant" project of soulpancake. I also wrote down 5 things I wanted then posted it to the site. Just an idea.

Has anyone else noticed that she crossed out "husband" for "be amish for a bit"? That's hilarious!
