Growing Up ( Z1 and Z2)

This blog will be about growing up. Growing up can be a pretty scary thing I must say. But sometimes it can be the best thing to happen to a person. One of the biggest steps of growing up is leaving high school and going to college. Now in my opinion I think college is a great experience, but of course it isn't for everyone. Visiting colleges can be terrifying for some people, but for me it is probably the best feeling. I honestly can not wait to get out of high school. For me, getting out of high school means starting my life. I love being independent because I feel like I am actually a real human being. Being in college makes you become your own person and also helps you figure out what you want to do the rest of your life. I think I will enjoy college a lot more than I enjoyed high school because I will be taking classes that interest me. I don't think I have ever been more excited for anything in the world. Of course the degree I want isn't going to be easy. Actually just the opposite. I want to go for my NP, which is Nurse Practitioner. I plan on going to ECC for two years and taking my pre- reqs there. After that I want to transfer to UB and get my RN. Hopefully while I'm in the process of getting my RN I will be having some experience as an intern in the NICU. If I do get a chance to have experience in the NICU I will be able to get into the exact program that I want. This program is called Neonatal Nursing Program. It is at Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee. I honestly can't even began to describe how excited I am to begin this process. Lately I have been considering going for an extra 2 years and getting my PHD. I feel like it would be worth it. Even though being a NP has an amazing pay, having your PHD will increase your pay by a ton. As you can see I am crazy stoked to finish high school and actually begin my life. I feel like I'm about to start the best years of my life. Another reason I am excited to get out of high school is because I am so sick of the drama and fake people. I can’t stand fake people. And drama is the last thing I want to worry about. People need to learn how to be real with others and be friendly. Talking bad about other people won’t make you feel better about yourself so I truly don’t get the point in doing it in the first place. Being rude to people for no reason is beyond childish. These people want to be treated like adults, but are probably the most immature people I know. And the crazy thing is some people will sit there and complain about how fake someone can be but at the end of the day, they are just as fake as anyone else. I guess I’ve just always been an open person and when I have something to say I say it and make sure that I am heard. I really don’t enjoy when other people talk about me badly but won’t tell me the problem they have with me therefore why would I make someone else feel like that. It is as simple as this, treat others the way you want to be treated. It seems like the most simple thing to do but yet some people just can’t seem to get the concept of being a sincere, nice person. Clearly I have a very strong opinion on this subject but we can end it at, I can’t wait for graduation.

(Y1 and Y2)

This blog will be about feeling alone. When people think about being alone it scares the living crap out of them. But in reality it really shouldn’t. Being alone can be a good thing sometimes. It gives a person time to take time for them. If you never take time for yourself you will eventually go crazy. Taking time for yourself means taking time and relaxing and thinking. It could also mean taking time to do something that you enjoy doing. Lets say that you are usually very busy with things like work, school, and sports. But you really enjoy riding your four-wheeler but since you are so busy with the other things you really never have time to go riding. Taking time for yourself will allow you to have time to go ride your four-wheeler. So in that situation being alone is definitely not a bad thing. Being alone also gives you time to focus on the things that really matter. For example when you are part of a group and you always are dealing with what is going on with all of their lives. But being alone gives you the time off from listening and being involved in everyone else’s lives and drama. Being alone completely gets rid of drama. Having drama in your life can be really annoying. I don’t know one person who enjoys having drama in their life. If they do then they obviously have a problem and should probably deal with it. Or they could just be used to having drama in their lives so they don’t know how it is without having drama in their life. Once you take yourself away from the group and all the drama you feel so much more free and relaxed. Being alone can be scary at times, but if you take time to think about it, everyone could benefit from being alone once in a while. If people are constantly with someone and constantly relaying on people to make decisions with them they will not have a chance to survive in the real world. They become dependable on someone and they can’t do anything by themselves. That is when you know it has become a problem. Being independent is super important. If you can’t be independent then clearly you aren’t your own person. I do not think I will ever understand how someone can constantly be with or around someone. I enjoy being on my own and alone. I can be my own person without people telling me who and what to be. Being independent gives people confidence. Also it will make them more successful in life. They will be able to make their own choices and do things on their own. If people relay on others for a really long time they begin to forget how to do things alone. It is sad when I see people asking their friends to come to a doctor’s appointment because they don’t want to go alone because they feel as if they will be bored. Or when someone has friends over and the second they leave they go on social media networks such as twitter and complain about how bored they are. If they are truly bored after being alone for 5 minutes that becomes a problem. I once was always with my best friend..actually I was pretty much with him every single day. But we grew apart within the last few months and I’ve adjusted to it very well in my opinion. I think it is because I was taught as growing up to be an independent person. I was always told don’t be a follower, be a leader. And in reality that is truly all you have to do. Being alone is a good thing. It makes you a strong, independent person.

Cheating (X1 and X2)

This blog will be about cheating. Cheating is probably the worst thing to do to a person. It makes absolutely no sense. Why be with someone if you are going to cheat on them. In my opinion if you are not happy just leave. If you are cheating on someone you clearly do not actually love them, let alone even have true feelings for them. I don’t understand how people can be with one person but then “be” with another person on the side. I also do not get how someone can cheat on their boyfriend or girlfriend and look them straight in the eye and lie to them. They don’t even have to say anything to lie, just not telling them what you have been doing is lying itself. If you even contemplate cheating on someone just think about how you would feel if someone decided to cheat on you. Being cheated on is a terrible feeling. Especially if it has been going on for a really long time. The first thing you do is blame yourself. Most people who find out that they have been cheated on blame themselves for it. They think that they did something wrong and that they pushed them away in the first place. The second thing people end up doing is go after the person their boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on them with. Which honestly isn’t really going to solve anything. Yeah, you have a right to hate them with everything you have but the person you should really anger is your boyfriend or girlfriend. Because the third person involved, unless they are also in a relationship, didn’t do anything wrong in their eyes. And finally once a little time has gone by they begin to put the blame completely on their boyfriend or girlfriend who cheated on them. Now this is what really should have happened the first time around but for some reason it takes some time to get it through a person’s head. Now to be the third person in this situation is pretty complicated. But it is quite obvious that you are truly doing something wrong. If someone is in a relationship, then that’s that, period. There is no explanation to helping someone cheat on their boyfriend or girlfriend. Clearly you are going to feel horrible about yourself but sometimes it is really hard once you have started. In some situations the cheater doesn’t tell the third person involved that they are in a relationship, therefore that would make the other person completely clueless. But when you know that person has a boyfriend or girlfriend it is definitely obvious that it is the wrong thing to do. Even if you start to have feelings for this person, you know they are taken by someone else and that it is wrong to go after someone else’s thing. Now I am not saying that they are property because they aren’t, but they are devoted to someone. So either way they shouldn’t be with another person if they are taken. Cheating is a very hard subject to talk about. Sometimes people cheat on “accident”, but I honestly really don’t believe that for one second. You know what you are doing so clearly it wasn’t an accident. Now it is different if you are in a relationship and someone else tries with you. But to make it okay you would have to stop it immediately and tell that person that this can’t happen and then go straight to your boyfriend and girlfriend and tell them. Bottom line is cheating isn’t okay so just don’t do it.

This blog will be about feeling like a little kid when you are in school. This is because they treat you like you are an immature child. When teachers and administrators treat you like a child you seem to get very annoyed. Especially when you are 18 years old and the school tries to take away your legal rights. That gets you very frustrated because you are legally old enough to vote but you can’t leave school if you wanted to. Lets say you are 18 and live on your own, and you forgot your lunch at your house but the school won’t let you leave without parent permission. But even if your parent does call to get you out of school it doesn’t mean it is an accepted excuse to the school. Anyways, so you are 18 and live on your own and they don’t let you leave without your parents calling. Why should it matter what your parents say if you are 18 years old you can make your own decisions by yourself. It is ridiculous how the school won’t accept that. An 18 year old is legally responsible for yourself, therefore your parents have no say in what you do anymore. But when the school doesn’t understand that and they try to act like they are way more important than your parents or actually your parents. It is truly dumb when you are told you can’t go home for absolutely no reason. I believe that if you are 18 years old and live on your own your parents should not have any say in what you do in school, and where you go, or whatever you do. They are no longer responsible for you. Same goes for the school, at least it should be. Schools should not have a say in what a student does if they are 18 years old or older. The school should respect that the student is an adult and give them the freedoms they should have.

This blog will be about needing a getaway. Everyone feels as if they need a vacation or some sort of getting away from reality at one point in their life. Sometimes people go to the wrong thing for a getaway though. For example someone may be going through a lot might think that doing drugs to get away from their problems. Therefore they become addicted to the drug and will always think that doing drugs will make everything go away. But they couldn’t be more wrong. Doing drugs isn’t going to make things go away it will make you forget about things for a while but usually it makes things much worse. One way you can help yourself get away from reality for a while is working out a lot more. For some people working out helps them take out their anger or frustration at the gym. Also working out will help you become more satisfied with yourself and become healthier than you were before. Working out will make you have more of a positive attitude towards life. Another way to escape from reality is actually going on vacation. You could go by yourself and just think about everything. But you can also go with a group of people and forget about everything all together. Going on a nice vacation will help you forget about things but it won’t make them go away forever. Another thing you can do is go do something you really enjoy doing. For example some people really enjoy going fishing. Fishing is the thing they do on their spare time. It may help them escape reality for a little bit. But again it won’t make the problem go away forever. Actually many of these won’t make it go away completely. The only thing that will make it go away completely is facing the problem. Facing your problems will always solve them in the end. Some people may think facing your problems is very difficult but in reality it is very simple.

choosing friends ( V1 and V2)

This blog will be about choosing the right people to be friends with. When it comes to having friends you want to make sure you have the good ones. Because some people make the mistake and trust the wrong people and then things don’t really work out very well. It is really hard to trust someone, but it is even harder to gain trust back after losing it. The thing is, you shouldn’t even have to worry about having a friend who needs to gain your trust back. Friends are supposed to be the most trustful people in your life, after your family of course. But sometimes friends become family, but only when they are true friends.  When it comes to picking out friends it is a good idea to tell them a “secret” and see if they tell other people. But the thing is this “secret” really won’t be a real secret but it is just a test to see how trustworthy they are. When you trust someone and then you find out they told a bunch of other people, it makes you not want to trust them anymore. I mean you told them this thing for a reason, because you trust them, but if they don’t have the respect for you to keep that secret, then they aren’t true friends and they are defiantly not worth your time. Another thing that friends shouldn’t do is lie to their friends. If you are friends with a liar, how are you supposed to know if they are ever telling the truth about something? Make sure you are friends with honest people. Being honest is super important especially when it comes to being honest with your friends. If you are not honest with your friends then again, they probably won’t be able to trust you with much. Also when your friend doesn’t like someone that you are friends with, there is no reason why you should have to stop being friends with that person. Just because your friend has a problem with them, doesn’t mean you have to have a problem with them. It is plain out just immature. And honestly, if your friend tells you that you are not allowed to be friends with someone they don’t get along with, then you need to re-evaluate your friendship. It becomes annoying when your friend starts to randomly dislike a person for no reason, because the real reason they don’t like them is probably because they are jealous of that person. Which again is super immature and must definitely not called for. Just think about it, if your friend can randomly just start hating someone for no reason and talking a lot of bad things about them, what makes you think that they won’t do the same thing to you? Because in all honesty they probably will. People who think they are better than everyone else most likely don’t have any true friends anyways. Therefore there isn’t a point in trying to be their friend in the first place. Another thing to watch out for is two faced friends. A two faced friend is a friend who will act completely okay with you in front of your face, but when you aren’t around they will turn a switch and could say horrible things about you. When you have a good friend they won’t talk badly about you, they will stand up for you no matter what. A good friend will always be there for you to listen to your problems and help you through the hard times. A real friend will be honest and true to you. So make sure your friends are true and real, because if they are not you could end up getting hurt.
