Tired

I feel tired. I'm drained physically, mentally, and emotionally. It doesn't matter how much I sleep, this feeling won't go away. Is it because I'm growing up? Is it because I'm taking on too much stuff, and I can't handle all of it? All I know is that I want out. Not out of this school or out of my life, but I want my life to pause for a couple minutes so I can catch my breath. I'm always running, and I miss walking and taking the scenic route. Is there a way to slow down in my busy life? Was this lifestyle programed in our heads from birth? Moving wouldn't get rid of my problems because they would just end up chasing me. Through the past and pain of my life, I've realized jumping in isn't the way to go... but it can be the most exciting. So should I jump with the baggage of life, work, friends, activities,ect... on my shoulders, or should I be caution and wonder "what if"?

Technology Runs My Life

So over the past couple weeks in my radio class how the computer does this and how the computer does that. I heard a presentation about the Ipod today in class. Technology is all around us and we use it everyday. Just a couple minutes ago my roomate and I both were freaking out because our computers would not turn on. Isn't that just sad? We live in a electronic-obsessed society. I honestly don't know how I would survive without facebook or my cellular phone, especially text messaging. I don't think I could survive if we had to go back to just plain snail mail. In today's society I wonder, are we controlling technology, or is it controlling us?

Life and School

My friends and I have lately been complaining a lot about school. We all just want out of here and start our careers, but that makes me wonder isn't life like school? We will always be learning new things everyday... either about ourselves, family and friends, or our jobs. I love to learn new things and have my eyes opened to new ideas, but not when it comes to something negative in my life. I hate when I realize I'm doing something wrong and I need to correct myself. I guess it makes me feel "not so perfect", which I aspire to be. Then I think why do I need to be perfect? No one else is. Self-improvement is always great, but an obsession with it is unheathly. In today's society everyone is expecting to have perfect everything. Perfect employees, perfect spouses, perfect children, ect... However, I think perfection is overrated. If I had a perfect boyfriend I would feel inferior, and that would suck. Society shows perfection falsely. Even though models are skinny, most of their photos are airbrushed, women that are 50 years old that look 20 have injected their face with botox and their body is now 60 perect silicone. Who would want to live a "fake" life"? I like who I am and who I am becoming, imperfect every step of the way... just the way it should be.

Election Day

Well today is election day! Some are excited (I am) and others could care less. Election Day is a big deal for our country. This is the day when are voices are heard, if we choose to let it be heard, and our opinion counts. This could be good and bad. If you are educated in the candidates and you make the decision for the good of our country, however if you are not educated and just voting for whoever looks more attractive or maybe likes cats that is not good. I blame schools (more colleges and universities) and work places. They need to educate us in the candidates... how can people get involved if they don't know what's going on? We need a leader who will stand up and keep this crumbling nation stable. All of us know our times haven't been the greatest so we need someone who will try to fix it and take the blame if something goes wrong. Well i hope all of you voted and no matter who wins that they will make our country better and stronger.

Good Luck Candidates!
