Is it so bad that I want to live MY life the way I want to live it? Is it bad that I don't want to be like everybody but still do the same things? Is it bad that I want to do something with MY life and be successful?
Lately it feels like the answers I get to those questions are yes, yes, yes, and yes. I don't understand why or how that is, but it seems like people think I'm going against everything and that I'm going to ruin my life. For once I'd like people to be happy for me and stop expecting me to live the lives they want me to live. One person is still trying to convince me to go to another school. Another is trying to convince me to go into another profession. And yet another is trying to convince me that I shouldn't even do anything I want to do. Can somebody explain to me how that seems fair, logical, or even comes close to making any sense?
I know exactly what I'm getting into and I know the sacrafices I'm going to have to make. I don't feel I'm doing anything wrong and that's all there really is to it. I would just like people to get off my case about EVERYTHING I do and for once let ME be ME.
I am not becoming of the world, but rather living in the world and making the most of it. I beg of you to find a flaw in that. Please, tell me what is wrong with it.

Ignore 'em. Sure, people close to you are important, but not as important to you as you are. Go to the school you want, pursue the career you (probably) want, and enjpy yourself. Truly, it is your future, and you have no obligation to follow the whims of someone else trying to live vicariously through you.
