Has taken pretending to text during awkward situations to a new level because...I don't have text.

Expectations...

are becoming greater and greater within every generation. Graduating high school is no longer a great accomplishment. Graduating high school will snag you a job at McDonald’s (oh the joy!) So the many of us heading off to college this fall, getting a B.A should no longer be our main focus. The ultimate goal is now to go above and beyond into graduate school (preferably in the east coast..).

And why not? A Ph.D. is the new M.A., a master’s is the new bachelor’s, a B.A. is the new high school diploma, and a high school diploma is the new smiley-face sticker on your first-grade spelling test.

“There aren’t enough of us trying to improve life, not just for the select few but for everyone. We live in the richest country in the world and we are only serving the top one percent of our own citizens. The majority of people in this country can’t afford health insurance. Or quality child care. They can’t pay for college without going into catastrophic debt. And I can’t even get into our appalling attitudes about poverty abroad.”
— Cinthia Wallace (Fourth Comings)

Writing for an audience turns it into a form of performance art, no matter how guileless I claim-or even strive-to be. Can there even be such a thing as an unmediated experience these days?

“This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, but perhaps it is the end of the beginning.”

YES! I’ve finally reached the point in my life where I can say “that’s so high school” when referring to juvenile behavior.




Speaking of “that’s so high school” behavior, the other ‘boy’ who can now share the title HWSRN has formed another weirdo/mind-boggling/”friendly” attachment to me once again. Could it be because of what I confessed in a cliche manner in a momento that will be cherished kept for the rest of our lives? Is this some sort of test (as in how long can you hold out…)? Is that why HWSRN wants to hang out with me?? To riddicule me in front of his HBHGF (Hill Billy HoBo Girl Friend) to point and laugh at my too late declaration of admiration?? And if not, this is pretty sick/annoying because HWSRN has a girlfriend and I DON’T like CHEATERS!!



Here’s a low down of ‘the cheater’s paradox’: ”Let’s say a girl is attracted to some boy who has a girlfriend. and then the guy with the girlfriend decides, like, What the hell? We’re not married, We’re just hanging out. I can hook up with this other girl if I want to. It seems obvious to me that any self-respecting girl would realize that the guy’s decision to cheat on his girlfriend would make him an undesirable person to hook up with, right? And the guy who wants to cheat should be turned off by any girl who is willing to hook up with someone else’s boyfriend. Being so, morally bankrupt should cancel out all the attractive qualities that tempt you to cheat..right?”



Well where was I?…hmm oh yeah! He HWSRN needs to move on. I mean I moved on. Or like the Backstreet Boys once sang “Quit playing games with my heart” But I did (or do) appreciate his friendship (yeah I’m getting all bipolar in this post) But I can’t help but be condescending. It’s a love-hate relationship thing. (HWSRN puts up with me and I keep on hating) Argh. I’m all flustered. (well not in “that” way) I think I already knew that we wouldn’t work out. And it’s not just because I’m a cynical person it’s because I tend to see the end before things begin. (yeah this might be a slight problem in the future but we only mature with age..right?). Well I shouldn’t be so harsh on the dude HWSRN I mean I’ll always remember him HWSRN as my high school crush-to-end all crushes. (if that even counts as a redeeming quality)

Elevator rides way more uncomfortable than they should be

Ever notice how no one looks at anyone in elevators? People will look anywhere but at each other. They get all fixated on the floor numbers like they’re the most fascinating stuff in the world. Would it be so wrong to make eye contact? Why are people so scared of other people in confined spaces?

It’s so disgusting how people. women go into public bathrooms and don’t wash their hands. It’s like they see the sign in the bathroom that says ‘employees must wash hands’ but since they don’t work there they think. ‘Hey, great I don’t work here, so I can take my gross, bacteria-infested hands back to the table without washing them and dig right in. Sweet!’ I mean do we really need to change the sign to ‘employees must wash hands, and so should you!’

Advise I wish I could have given..

When the parental unit is going crazy, the best way to deal is to remove yourself from the situation immediately. The trick is to not get overly involved. Yeah, they’re your parents and yeah, you probably have to live with at least one of them, but that doesn’t mean they have to take your life. You already have a life. Live it. Let them work out their craziness on their own.

I love how when I go to target.com and click on Dorm Essentials I get The Twilgiht Saga DVD’s..haha

Some of my favorite Book Quotes (yes..i'm a nerd)

"Every parents worst fear about their children? It is that you will ruin your life and bring disgrace and financial hardship upon the family"

"My theory on costumes is that they provide valuable clues to the personality of the wearer."


Whip It

"..and even thohgh Senor Smolder is so obviosly a winner in nature's oddball beauty lottery, he looks like he spends exactly .0002 seconds thinking about it-which only make him hotter."

"Oliver gives me this wave-Oh My God, the best wave you've ever seen in your life-that somehow says, "Hey, I'm here, but I kind of feel like a dork even thouhg I know you know I'm not really a dork" How can you fall in love with someone just by the way he waves? But I'm pretty sure I do."

"lame parents have moments of extreme coolness"

"84% messy loud, and 16% sweet geekiness"

"Sometimes God doesn't hate me"

"____ is smiling in this super-dopey, lovey way that's so not cool but it totally breaks my heart, I didn't know he had that cuteness in him. I want to bottle it and save it forever"

Americans are Never Satisfied

In today’s world, nearly everyone has a vehicle, a cell phone, and a television, among other things. In many homes, there are more televisions than family members. No one needs these things in order to survive. However it is built into our minds that without such items, our lives would be filled with many more difficulties. Although Americans can achieve temporary satisfaction through material objects, happiness is never fully achieved because of wasteful consumerism and the fact that people constantly want new things and are never content with what they have.



American’s expectations have become so demanding that everyone lives their lives by convenience rather than necessity. “Seeing is believing, and if American success is to count for anything in the world it must be clothed in the raiment of property.” American ideals have changed in which a person who possesses many material objects is viewed as successful. They are under the false impression that being equipped with several items will bring a life full of virtue. Objects might bring momentary satisfaction but in the long run joy can’t be bought.



Americans in general are rarely content because they constantly want new things and don’t ever seem to be pleased with what they already have. We have based “our entire culture and way of being on the belief that ‘just a little bit more’ will finally buy happiness.” Americans are constantly on the pursuit of finding joy but temporary satisfaction is the only thing ever achieved. At an early age one learns to live their lives by convenience rather than necessity. The shopping industry is highly successful based on the impulsivity of people, and their willingness to spend money in order to feel satisfied with themselves. It is also part of our nature to identify happiness with different issues, “with health when he is ill, with wealth when he is poor”. We don’t realize how great it feels to be healthy until we get sick, and we don’t appreciate having money until we no longer have they luxury to spend it. One can never be fully satisfied if they only think about the items that they are missing and aren’t grateful for what they already own.



Americans never achieve full happiness because they tend to fill their lives with objects that have little importance rather than things that have meaning. They are buying more than they have room to store and are consuming material objects at faster pace than they are building happiness and satisfaction. It is a controversial issue that is never ending and in the long run, achieving a life full of happiness lies within the hands of the individual.
