On another note, I have to worry about college acceptance! Talk about emails every day from all the colleges you've applied to, all talking about basically the same things. "Don't forget to apply", "Your application is missing a few things", "Are you still considering applying to this school" it's all the same old stuff all on a different day.
Then, if that's not already bad enough, being a girl, I struggle with GUY PROBLEMS! Why does it always come down to guy problems? Seriously. If it wasn't already hard enough being the only girl to play on my high school football team, now I have to worry about the guys who want to try and date me, the guys who try and talk to me, the guys who try to get my number, the guys that are really just trying to look for a girl for one thing and one thing only. It's bad enough that I hardly have time for myself, why is it that these other people think that I have time for them? Not to sound like I'm all that, but come on! Why now, of all times, does this happen? Everything is coming at an instant and I really don't know where my head is supposed to be. Like, shouldn't it already be on vacation!?
I guess my problem is that nothing seems relevant to the goals I've set for my life. My main goal is to make money and provide for myself and for my family. Although higher education is involved, I see no relevance in these high school classes that assign pointless assignments. Like math class that makes you find the radius of a circle and imaginary numbers. for one, I'm not going to be a carpenter and I'm most definitely not going to build a circle house, so why am i being forced to learn that nonsense? Secondly, why do we have British Literature in America? All we do is read stories that never took place in real life and learn about how old English is different from modern day English. We all know the difference. We can see it in the way we write now verses how they wrote back then. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
High school educations have gotten so far from what they were back in the day. All you had to know was reading, writing, and the basics of math! And some science and American history. That's honestly perfect. Back in the days, people learned manners and morals in school. They learned basic skills and what made America the greatest country. These days, you'll be lucky if you graduate high school learning how to design a website. Other than that, pretty much everything you learn is a bunch of Bologna.
I guess that's one of the main things wrong with America today. The higher authorities think we need the most complex educational training in order to excel in life. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, but why is it so outrageous?! Things have gone too far as far as education goes. Like what's the point of going to college these days if you're just going to come out in a million dollars of dept? What's the point of going to college and getting a degree or multiple degrees at that, and then when you graduate, you can't even get a job in your field of major? I know that's not just a problem for people who live in Hawai'i but for people all over the nation. Colleges have gone way to far with the cost of education. I understand that people have to get paid but in this day in age, the cost of a college education, isn't worth going bankrupt.
My mind was running around way too much just now. And believe it or not, it's still going! I have a lot of things to say but not enough time to say it all. Thank you for letting me pick at your brain while I speak a little about what was on my mind. It's always good to think about the things that are happening in the world around you. Remember, "the more you know, the better you grow,"
Thank you for allowing me to pick at your brain while I say what's on my mind. Good night all the way from Hawai'i. Aloha and A hui Hou, until we meet again.
