05/04/05– No, I’m not getting married. I am just a little overwhelmed by the amount of people who think that just because they have a college degree they are ready to get married and I wanted to talk about it. My sentiments about marriage are mainly the result of the amounts of failed relationships that plague our society. That, and the movie “Old School”, an inspiring movie with a heart-warming message about relationships. I can’t see why people my age think it would be better to strap on the ball and chain than to live independently and free for a few more precious years. The thought of being bound to one person for the rest of my life starting NOW just makes me sick to my stomach. 04/29/04– My dad always says, “People who are good at making excuses usually aren’t good at anything else.”. I was thinking about this while watching Amarosa lie her way through The Apprentice and make a fool out of herself since then, and I can’t help but wonder how someone like that can look in the mirror and not be disgusted. Now Amarosa was more of a liar than an excuse-maker, but it’s pretty similar in nature. Neither of the acts reflect any integrity or desire to take personal responsibility. There’s usually at least one of these people in at least one of my classes every semester. Probably bright but still lazy, these people are the worst leaches in college. Why are you here if you’re not going to do your homework? Why are you paying for school if you are never going to study?04/28/04– I’ve had roommates, study buddies, boyfriends,girlfriends, significant others, and many other relationshipsthroughout college. I wonder if they will discipate as quickly asour high school relationships. I’d like to think not, but growingapart is most likely inevitable. The difference is that in collegeyou are ready to deal with it, and probably better able to keep upwith long distance friendships. There are some people I’ve met herethat I never want to lose touch with, and I think it will take areal effort on both sides to keep up a relationship aftergraduation, but it can be done. I just wish I had appreciated thepeople that mean the most now, while they are still nearby. At anyrate, there are so many memories to take and I’m glad I was able tomake them.
