Question two

What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

Apparently the way that I think is quite different from everyone else. There are a lot of things that are common sense to me that seems like a foreign language to the typical person. Maybe it is just me? But am I wrong to think that someone should not be having casual sex? Is it wrong to think that someone should have goals for their life (more than just get a job, have kids, and be happy)? Any why does everyone feel entitled? If you have not earned it then guess what YOU DON'T DESERVE IT! It really scares me to not only see how irresponsible kids are today but how they feel that just because they went to school they deserve more than a job working at McDonald's. To be honest though it is not all of their fault. We have been told our entire lives that we can do whatever we want but we are hardly ever told about the hard work that has to be put into it. We praise people who are just naturally good at things and we are told that if we reach a certain educational level we will be better than everyone else. But really spending another 4 years in college after high school seems to just keep people under the wing of not facing the real world. They graduate expecting to find a great job, buy a house, meet the perfect person (if they haven't already) and have a great life. But the truth is, especially in this day and age a degree means very little when it comes to experience. So when that perfect job doesn't immediately come along (and please, after getting this awesome degree in political science I am way over working at Subway) they move back in with their parents and do nothing. Actually I take that back. he/she will be awesome at surfing the web, spending their parent's money, eating their parent's food and waiting for their life to fall in place. DOES THIS NOT BUG ANYONE ELSE? Seriously, you are in your 20s GROW UP ALREADY! I am not saying to rush out and get yourself in debt but at least do something. If you cannot find a job, then volunteer. That will not only make your resume more impressive but it will give you something to do and possibly give you an insight into what you want to do with your life. I know this is just a stupid rant that I probably shouldn't have posted because a couple of my friends are in this position but truth is truth. Get off your lazy ass and do something with your life!

  1. Chris and I talk about this all the time - that we were praised growing up for being "naturally good at things", and therefore, If we weren't good at something on our first try, we assumed it must not be our thing. We want to praise our kids more for trying hard and putting work into things, and less for being naturally "gifted".

  2. That is a very good point. I guess its harder to do when your kid is naturally good at a lot of things such as yourself haha but I really feel that in the long run (and obviously this is not for everyone b/c you are Chris are awesome)it may hinder the kid. I guess I just feel like a lot of parents these days let their kids rely on them too much for everything and the kids are complacent with that because its less they have to do. I don't know, like I said, it was just a rant. But thank you for reading :)
