| My dream career is basically Samantha Brown's job
Samantha works as a travel hostess on the travel channel. She gets paid to travel around the world and be on national television. That's awesome!!
Another thing that I like about her job is that Samantha has to be smart. She has to learn about the places that she's going. She needs to know what said place is famous for, some of the language, mannerisms, culture.
AWESOME.
Her learning experience basically never stops, she just keeps experiencing new and different places...
and gets paid to do it!
Of course, I'm sure that there are some drawbacks, like being away from home and all of that nonsense. But personally, I think that time away from family can be a very good and healthy thing!
And I wouldn't mind having a camera follow me around all day; the show created would be like a moving scrapbook that wouldn't take up space on my bookshelves. I hate scrapbooking anyways!
I haven't traveled much at all during my life, and find myself longing to get out and see everything.
What about you? What amazing places have you traveled? What is your dream career?? | | |
| In the central New York music scene there is a band called White Picket Fence.
I love them. They have a really cool acoustic rock sound.
The band was started by 2 girls and then expanded to include drums and the like.
What annoys me is that a lot of my guy friends, well all of them, don't like the band.
They say that the girl's voice is annoying, the the lyrics aren't really about anything, and that "they aren't that good."
I don' know if this is just them being jealous that
-they themselves are not even in a band
-people like White Picket Fence more than they like their bands
-WPF is actually on tour now, unlike these guys
OR
that there are 2 really cool GIRLS in the band.
I don't mean to come across as a feminist extremist, but seriously, these guys like a lot of guy bands that "aren't that good" and have annoying guy singers... so what gives??
Bottom line, this band is good. Check them out and let me know what you think :]

| Sometimes it's the best thing to just say NO.
I was roped into working for a week at a summer camp by my friend.
I shouldn't have said that I would do it, but she really wanted me to come and she made it sound like a lot of fun.
But then I realized that it would be a week away from my family and boyfriend at a religious camp, (I'm not very religious), and that I'm leaving for college soon and have a ton of other stuff to do, like summer reading, packing, saying goodbye to everyone, taking a few deep breaths...
so at the last minute I backed out. I feel terrible.
I never back out of stuff. If I say that I'm going to do something then I do it...
I just had to say no to this one thing because it would have been TOO MUCH.
Guilt. Major feeling right now.
But I just have to keep telling myself that it's going to be okay,
I got talked into doing something that I didn't really want to do in the first place because I was trying to be a good friend, but it didn't work out...
I learned my lesson; if I'm not 100% sure that I want to do something I am not going to commit to it.

| I've been dating the same guy for over a year now.
He was my first official boyfriend.
We broke up a couple of times last year, but worked through our differences and now are in a solid and trusting relationship.
I fully believe in the saying that falling in love isn't about finding the perfect person, it's about seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
But I feel that my boyfriend is a gem in the rough.
My friends and myself have had encounters with guys that aren't worth forgiving.
The most recent being my friend who texted her boyfriend from her friend's phone joking around pretending to be another random girl that he didn't know.
I know that it sounds sketch, but she was just playing around and wanted to surprise him with a laugh.
Well, she asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said, "nah, I'm just staying single for college... do you have a boyfriend??"
My friend was shocked.
and when she confronted him about it, he lied to her and said that it was his friend on his phone.
I feel like, oh it was just a one time thing, he really likes you and he just made a mistake,,,,
but way more strongly I feel that the guy is being a complete jerk, and who does he think he is lying and going behind her back like that??
I told her that she has to break up with him immediately,
but she says that they're going to talk about it. That she doesn't want to break up with him.
This is just her being the "typical female"
loving, caring, understanding.
I think that it's bs,
and some shortcomings can be forgiven, but not lying and sneaking around potentially trying to get with other girls.
seriously.
my friend needs a backbone. | | |
| I don't feel good.
I am making myself sick thinking about leaving for college. Thinking about the rest of my life basically.
People keep asking me what I want to major in, how I'm paying for college, what I want to be when I grow up... and the answer is always I DONT KNOW!
How am I supposed to know what I want to do with the rest of my life?? I'm 18! I've never taken a legit college course, and I don't even know what half the majors that my school offers even entail, let alone what sort of career they could ultimately lead me to.
Which leads me to another point of distress,
many people view getting a liberal arts education as a waster of time and money.
Seriously?
Learning to properly read write, and THINK is a waste of time and money?
Last time I checked, those were all necessary skills to getting a job,,,
but maybe I'm wrong. pft.
argh.
I'm moving from a small town to New York City, Manhattan to be exact, and i don't really have any idea what to expect from my classes, peers, professors and even from myself...
I'm leaving my boyfriend behind, who I love,
not to mention my family...
I know that most people go away to college and get through it, but I can't help starting to feel a tad bit anxious at the thought of this complete life change.
I mean, I am completely excited and happy,
but I'm so nervous too.
