My Life

Tests, exams, papers keep rolling into my schedule. I don't understand why teachers think we have so much time to do homework when we students clearly don't. This weekend besides all the studying, working, and babysitting was a rollercoaster ride that I wasn't prepared for. It started off with a little family bonding. We canned over fifty jars of jams, salsas, and spaghetti sauces, which made me, believe I am allergic to the smell of chopped onions even though I eat onions all the time. My eyes turned pink and puffy, my complexion was beyond white, and my head was spinning in circles. At work there was of course some drama, living in a small town without drama is physically impossible.

 Speaking of drama me and my boyfriend had another argument. Our first one dealt with his car, he promised it would be fixed by the weekend and for once he would drive to me. Shockingly I was surprised to hear otherwise. When he was driving down the bumpy road, he managed to hit the perfect hole to make it fall out, denting his brand new hood.   Both of us being pissed off were obviously a bad combination. Then we argued about the upcoming concert at CMU this weekend. I won the argument with if you trust me then why can’t I go. Unfortunately that bit me in the butt since I ended up going behind his back to see if he behaved at a wedding on Saturday. My family put it in my head that he didn’t take me for a reason so I had to investigate. Turns out he was behaving. His friend that I confronted ended up ratting me out, shock. I knew it was a bad idea but I couldn’t control my nosey urge to know. Long story short one minute I thought I was single next minute he turns it on me saying if that’s what I want then I will be. I don’t know what I want anymore.

My Life

So far college life is complicated. My weekends consist of studying, taking online quizzes, plus making wonderful blogs. Making time for work, friends, and family of course is hair pulling frustration. My mom says mow the lawn I say why can't my lazy twenty year old brother do it which just leads to a family argument that gets me no where it seems. My mom, my sister, and I recently got home the day before I started college from California. During our vacation time my brother managed to move back in. I don't know if I would call it moving in, more like breaking and entering. The house was completely locked we thought, but apparently we thought wrong. He found a latter, climbed on top of the roof, opened the window of the play room, and before I knew it he had all his stuff back in what was once the guest bedroom. My mom always is saying her children mean the most to her which is clear to anyone who knows her. It just makes me want to scream sometimes, and don't worry I did at the top of my lungs, especially when that incident happened. I only enjoyed the quiet, always clean house for three or four months, definitely not long enough.

I have passed up so many opportunities lately that involve having fun. I am not sure if its due to the thoughts of getting behind in classes, missing out on the opportunity to make money at my job, or if I just don't feel like arguing with my boyfriend. He said we could go out and do things together, yet he never wants to do anything. He recently quit his job, even though he yelled at me when I didn't work enough, his car has been in the shop for four months too long, and doesn't know what college he wants to go to, when clearly he should just finish at Baker.

My Life

During my last month or so of high school I started my first official relationship. After watching all of my girlfriends have horrible outcomes with their boyfriends, my motto was to never date through any of those years, which I pretty much accomplished. Along with a lot of ups and downs we have been together for about six months as of today. I was a social ball of energy until he came around. He slowly is attempting to get my morals in line, which is where we are bumping heads. Some people say he is a control freak while others think he is good for me due to the fact opposites attract. I don't really know what to think yet, I love him, but could I see myself with him forever is the real question.

The transition of starting college compared to going to high school is easy and some what complicated. Similarities include the confusing schedules, long classes, too much homework, plus the many teaching styles that come along with all your professors. On the other hand, I now have the choice to choose where I want to attend, I actually feel like paying attention after seeing the outrageous prices, and I don't have to be here Monday through Friday.

Career choices seem never ending, there are so many possibilities your future holds, its kind of frightening. Every day somebody changes their major so in high school I job shadowed at a hospital too help me avoid this, but I assume i still will change my mind. After my experience I realized working with sick people takes a special type of person. Realizing this helped me figure out things that pertained to Business sparked my interest, particularly becoming an owner or boss of something along those lines. In the end, I want to do anything that I could see myself wanting to do for the rest of my life while truly enjoy doing it. Being able to support my own family would be an added bonus.

My Life

Growing up has never been easy. The real world is full of surprises one might say and fate is a crazy thing, you never know what to expect.

I never knew turning eighteen would be so complicated. Being a baby was probably the easiest part of my chapter in life. It consisted of everyone waiting on me hand and foot. No one truly understands why a baby is crying or wants the stress that comes along with the screams and tears. So after always being fed, bathed, and entertained I concluded it will never be as easy as that. Then came the chapter in my life that is a blur. My parents were getting divorced, I was moving from the place I grew up, to a place that was unfamiliar, and my world was being flipped upside down. Looking back I see that my mom was making the right choice for herself and her five kids. Life on the farm wasn't what it was cut out to be for our family. Now we have our big red brick house surrounded by the river, woods, and the fresh air that wasn't so fresh on the farm. Eventually I was in High school which flew by for me like my memories did. It consisted of waking up in class with drool on my face, dealing with a lot of unnecessary drama, and attempting to be a sneaky "text er". Don't get me wrong, I was an all A student, but I just never got the concept of why I had to go to school. I had a passion for soccer and managed a job also. Taking my aggression out on the attackers, feeling the smack of the ball against my forehead, and the rush of adrenaline i felt in my veins were just some of the many benefits that came with being out on that field. I earned the right to always be starter plus to play on Varsity as a sophomore. My job that I am currently still working at is a meat packing place. It involves waiting on customers, running errands, and yes occasionally packing meat.
