Thoughts about college
Ive been pondering on making an entry on the life at college for awhile now and its definetly past due. More times than not I find myself walking around campus just critically thinking about these what I call sheep that are walking around me. Granted yes I am an Air Force veteran and a non traditional student but times are changing in an exponential way and to a young person like me it is a scary thought. I talk to my parents about it all the time and they sometimes dont understand because they are not experiencing it everyday.. So now I will go on my rant and throw some main points out there and I would like some feedback from a diverse array of people, I enjoy reading the comments.
- Technology- This is a broad topic and Im going to just give my opiniion of the fact that to me it seems that everysingle person that I see and actually know would not be able to go without looking down at there cell phone for more than probably 20 Minutes, which in my opinion is absolutely terrifying! Mainly due to the fact that what I think that is happening is the fact that in todays society people are wanting things to happen instantaneous and our future meaning our kids from 0-14 are litterally devreasing the attention span at an exponential rate. I hate looking around into any social environment and realizing that every person is looking down at there phone and do not even acknowledge the fact that they are surrounded by people that love them, but they are only looking up if its important to them or is more interesting than some stupid facebook post that they are reading. Time is the most prescious commodity on this earth and we take it for granted even with our loved ones that we are with every single day. When I see a kid on his tablet, cell phone and out with his grandma its very depressing that he cannot see what he is doing. Id like to tell people to get over themselves its very annoying to me that everyone thinks they are more important than the time that an individual is spending with you. Get the fuck off you're phone and give the other person you are with some respect. Let me tell you succcessful people do not do what the other 99% do which is exactly what I stated above, not giving the indidual the time of day when they are right in front of them. People today sit behind a keyboard and say what is on their mind but you put them face to face with someone and they start sweating like they have no idea what they are supposed to do. As a society our social skills are so pathetic that when someone like myself goes up to someone and tries to have a good conversation with someone the other person thinks it is weird that I want to talk and get to know them and not through texting. Have you ever called someone after you text them and they act like they are very surpised that you called and its like you are wasting their time. Also if I walk into one more person that is walking around with there face down looking into the phone im going to dropkcik them right through the chest.
- Relationship what is that- So with the fact that everything is at our fingertips through our phones it is no suprise that the divorce rate is through the roof. Everyone thinks that the grass is going to be greener on the other side which more times than not that is the total opposite. Just because you might be going throught something with your significant other does not mean to jump on tinder and just throw it all away. nobody wants to be in an extended relationship anymore they just want to have fun and find the person that is going to pur them where they want to go in life, than they usually just leave after they step all over the person and use their resources and connections. Im so tired of being asked what do you do, how much are you worth and all of these non relevant questions about who I am, people no are not really trying to friend you or get to know you they just want to know what you can do for them and if that happens to not be much but you are the best friend ever than they usually are not going to have anything to do with you. When will people learn that money doesnt make you happy it has been proven that after you make about 70K a year you do not get any happier after than. What really makes people happy is when you help someone out and they are so appreciative, its called love. Love and fear are the only emotions on this earth if you name any other emotion it always stems from one of these two. When people are all fighting for money we see what happens just look around you, does anyone actually like anybody nowadays no not really for the most part. They just feel comfortable around you and hope that you're network will help them get more money or physical things.
Anyway this rant is over I have to head to class where I hope to beat all my peers in the future so I can make more money lol just kidding I hope to change the world for the better because honestly what man is a man that doesnt make the world a better place:)
