Telling All My Business
When you’re not shaped according to the cookie-cutter standards, shopping can be a pain.

I Have Commitment Issues…
…when it comes to watching television 😉 I actually don’t watch much TV. Almost all of the shows I watch (consistently) are network shows–which constantly brings up the question of...

Good Ol’ Fashioned Drama Revisited
“Good Ol’ Fashioned Drama” was one of my favorite posts. The movie I discussed is one of my favorites, and I actually wrote about it for a final project this past semester. “Good Ol’ Fashioned Drama Revisited” is going to be a totally awesome mesh of the two. Enjoy!

Bathroom Humor
I hate public restrooms! Well, “hate” is a strong word. I do not like public restrooms! I try to avoid them at all costs. Why? Using the restroom, for me, is a private event that should not be rushed.

“School is your job.” – Humorous Perspectives from an Hourly Employee
I have always been an hourly employee. I don’t know what it’s like to be anything else. What I do know is that, at this point in my life, salaried life is not for me! I know that when people say, “school is your job,” the meaning comes from a salaried, career oriented mindset. So, I thought it would be fun to explore how school being my job is a horrible concept from an hourly perspective.

It’s More Interesting Now
Traditional college students go straight from high school to college. Before high school there was junior high school. Before junior high school there was elementary school. Before elementary school there may have been preschool. Before preschool there may been “Your Baby Can Read,” Leapfrog, or whatever. That’s a lot of school!! By the time a child gets to college, the poor kid is close to mental burnout! She can’t take anymore school and all she wants to do is be done with it. I can definitely identify with that!

Purpose Is Awesome
It’s amazing at how much you can learn when you have a reason to pay attention. That’s one piece of advice I give my “little classmates” (LOL, they make me feel old sometimes). When they’re talking about they don’t know what to do with their lives and stuff like that, I tell them to stay in school as long as they can until they figure it out. I know it’s expensive (if you get loans) and may be boring & uncool, but it’s a lot easier to just stay put until you find out what you should be doing with your life than graduating, doing something you don’t like, and THEN discover what you should do.

Haiku of Frustration
Write a haiku about something that drives you nuts: You don’t use your blinker. You think I know what you want. Now who’s mad? Not me!

Observations of An Older Student
You know how we always say, “if I only knew then what I know now?” Well, I’m not gonna say that because that phrase gets played out sometimes. However, with hindsight always being 20/20, it’s soo interesting to look back and reflect on what you could have done differently. I’ve been in school for one week now, and as I’ve touched on before, the contrast between how I think and engage is totally different from my peers. I’m guessing that the majority of them are “sophomore/junioresque,” but their behavior and thought process is nothing less than sophomoric–no pun intended.

Kids & Technology
I was listening to The Fish this morning, and they were having people call in about how technology is ruining their family time and what they do about it. You can imagine some of the comments: kids text the whole ride home and never say a word to parent, kids spend all their time in their rooms gaming, etc. This really got my brain going.

The First Day
My first day of school was great! I haven’t been soo excited to be in school since like elementary school. I know what it is though. When you actually want to learn, there’s soo much to be excited about!
