I learned that my mother considers my dream a 'hobby'.
I'll look at the silver lining though - at least they don't stop me.
At least you have a dream; I just picked something I was good at.
And my parents are more like the opposite of your mom regarding the "what-are-you-going-with-your-life" thing; I haven't even started writing my bachelor's thesis yet, and my dad's already pushing me to get a PhD.
Today I learned that homework assignments can be really annoying, and that my mom can be a very scary person.
She's kind of like the mom in this video

"no more computer time tonight", now where have I heard that before? 😛

Is that such a bad thing? Well I guess that depends on your dream - one of my biggest dreams is to learn to fly a helicopter, not professionally but just for recreational flying. I'd call that a hobby.

Haha,
I was talking about a whole different type of dreams - specifically, the college I want to go to, or rather, the college I'm dying to go to, and where I probably won't be selected. It doesn't matter in the long run, as my chances of selection aren't that good, but it still hurts, as I'm hoping against hope anyway 😛
Dreams do that to you 🙂
Edit -
@wandererofthedeep - I get that a lot too, but I persevere, same as you apparaently do 🙂
I was lucky enough to find a dream, but before that I was doing the same thing. The chances are worse now, but I feel happier somehow 🙂
There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

If they are anything like her, then there is not a doubt in my mind.

This is clearly a problem of your mom not knowing the definition of a hobby, then. Which means you really shouldn't care.

While I appreciate your sentiments, I'll ask to not say that. The exact word my mother used is 'Shauk', which is a Hindi word, and has a somewhat different meaning from hobby. I chose hobby as it is very close to the original meaning. She is just being cautious, as I have done similar things many times when I was younger. I can understand where she is coming from, and appreciate her helping me even when she thinks like this 🙂 .

If you don't mind me asking, what school is this that is so difficult to get into?

I learnt that my friend is getting married!
It makes me even happier that I'm one of the very few people that she invited for the ceremony! 🙂

I just learned that some people actually think spamming quote trees are annoying instead of funny. Amazing.
