Stress

American school systems suck. All they do is instill the fear of failure and competition in our young blossoming minds. I believe that school systems should be more like a building process. Sure the competition helps you get through life but what about all the "losers" What do they do for the rest of their lives? They more than likely give up which could possibly be the reason why 60% of America is obese. On college campuses so many kids stress out about the stupidest smallest things that could result in them making bad decisions of not wanting to go on living their lives. I myself am a vicim of stress partly because im am scared that i wont receive a job when i get into the "real world." Well, in the back of my mind i know stressing is pointless but its second nature to do it. If im not doing something i start spiraling down on something that doesn't deserve that much attention. Stress is unhealthy. So many college students have committed suicide due to it, some have developed premature illness like strokes or heart attacks in their 20's, and some of the minor cases may include irritation or common illness. School should be a place where yes it should be challenging but more like a job. College just proves that you can do the ultimate "bitch" work and graduate with a diploma saying you made it through. Its kinda like an initiation into the real world. Sure, school teaches you things about what you want to do for the rest of your life but many people have proved that you can find a job that no where meets the requirements of your degree and still earning a great deal of money WITHOUT the need for college education. School isn't for everyone, neither are "white collar" jobs. Our economy now pays some "blue collar" jobs triple what "white collar" jobs are offering. Hearing that statistic makes me want to just drop out of school and become a welder of fine metals. Then you could possibly go further and say yes welders and brick layers have to go to school to get their "licences"I guess you just have to go to school and there is no avoiding it. School needs to be a stress free environment but since i know that will never happen i must learn to deal with my stress and transform it to something good....right

The Importance of Travel

Everyone should travel at least 10 times in their lives. If you dont get out there you wont know what our world is about. You can travel all over texas and still discover five or so different environments and cultures. When i was young my parents took my sister and i RV-ing ALL THE TIME. Yeah it might sound fun now but back then it was dumb and embarrassing. Kids would ask me in middle school "where are you going for spring break" and i would answer under my breath "grand canyon...again" they would just stare at me like i was some dumb mouse trying to get out of a bucket. Personally, i think that they looked at me that way out of jealousy but i didn't see it that way back then. Now, i love my parents for hauling my sister and I all over the U.S. on those super long RV rides and all the sketchy RV parks we had to stay at. i really think travelling as a family has kept our love-bond very strong and it has given us knowledge of where we live. Out of all the places i have visited my favorite places would have be Las Vegas and Montana. When i think of RV-ing these two place stick out like a sore thumb in my mind. Las Vegas was amazing because as a small kid coming into sin city it is definitely an eye opener from the small boring town i come from. As for Montana, it was a rich taste of the true forrest and wilderness that every human reverts back to. No sky rises, only log cabins, and tons of wildlife. The air in Montana is so clean that i swear someone could add years to their lives just by simply breathing. On these trips i have learned many things about the native americans of New Mexico area,the old west like Tombstone AZ, and learn to get along with my baby sister on 10 hours road trips. If i had a billion gazillion dollars i would buy everyone on the plant a trip out of their state of providence just to go out and appreciate what else is in this world.

Social what?

I believe that facebook is going to be a terribly somewhat good thing for the world. Facebook is an extremely powerful tool that helps kids and adults of all ages to connect with other friends. It also promotes something called "stalking." When you accept that you want to go ahead and get a facebook you are agreeing to be stalked by at least one person. I partly believe that people get a facebook is to put themselves out there for people to look at them. Girls and guys alike post photos of themselves that have been photoshoped to the point that could make Amy Winehouse look like Natalie Portman. According to the Los Angeles Times, "These women are more likely to base their self-worth on appearance and use social networking to compete for attention." I'm not going to lie its a great feeling when you know people are looking at your profile admiring you in your "purest" form.
What annoys me are kids underage posting photos of themselves clearly drinking or smoking when they are underage. They don’t understand that companies have just as much access to you profile, when your trying to get a job, as a 15 year old girl with a crush. I respect those who just get a facebook to JUST reconnect. I think that facebook is going to make creepers out of all of but also help us to meet new people and make new friendships. If I had money I would put it in Facebook stock.
When the day comes when Facebook crashes all together, it will be very interesting to see how the world was only a few years ago. Quiet. Phone bills will rise in order to fill that void of not having someone looking at you 24/7 or being able to show your bestie that lives in Alaska a sweet ice fishing video from you tube. Until that day comes I will continue to creep on my friends and make sure my sister isn’t talking to some douche that needs a talking to….<joke….but seriously…
