Burst My Bubble- Another Ranting of a Nastassia

I am now going to discuss my distress over people/family members telling me what to do. I especially get distressed since I am an adult (legally), or when someone is leading a full life as an adult and is still told what to do like a child. I'm not talking about giant decisions like cross-country moves or anything, but the little decisions like where you want to eat, what movie to go see, what to do in your spare time, or something trivial like smoking a cig. Or what college to go to that seems to be a big one with input from a lot of people. Now I understand that the examples I've given are kind of lame, however, the absolutely awesome example I had thought of was, quite honestly, forgotten by the time I got to this point in typing this blog entry and I didn't even think to write it down. There are harder decisions made for you that I am not mentioning, and maybe you are thinking of them now, but I'm not trying to get too deep into any teenage qualms. The fact that those decisions are not left to us is something that definitely bursts my bubble. I, for example, am 18 years old and think some decisions we make now (little ones mind you), are not going to change the whole imaginative course my life seems to be set upon. When does that certain maturity hit you, what age is it finally 'okay' to make your own decisions? And I'm not saying that everything told to me by older loved ones is wrong, but do I really need their input in everything? Can't they remember that they've had a hand in raising me for 18 years and shouldn't they trust that they raised me to be a responsible and trustworthy adult, one worthy to become a productive member of society? Maybe I'm being petty, and foolish, but that's how I feel about that. And if you were to read this, by all means, substitute your own age in place of mine, I'm sure this can't be the feeling of only one person, let alone one 18 year old. I hope you enjoyed reading my venting, stay tuned for a new episode next week! :D

Burst My Bubble- A Ranting and Opinion of a Nastassia!

Do you know what really bursts my bubble? No, of course you don’t, which is why I’m about to tell you. The laziness the human race is developing lately. You’d think that overtime, as technology advances, the human race would as well. In reality, we are all just becoming lazier, allowing these electronic instruments to do our work for us. For example, the English language as been adapted and changed many times, but now we just barely speak. We use some sort of a computer for all types of communication, like right now! I find a lot of this very lazy and rude. Even when using computers, or cell phones with texting, we don’t use full sentences. Now, don’t get me wrong, I definitely do not expect you to walk around saying things like thee, thy, or thou. I mean, how hard is it really, to use full sentences? Another irritating thing about communication that I dislike is when people answer a question with, not only a question, but the same question! Since when is “What’s up?” considered a conversation? Apparently, since people decided to reply “What’s up?” to “What’s up?” Take the time to socialize. We have all these advanced technologies for entertainment when we’re bored, but people don’t realize that talking to one another is a great way to entertain oneself without spending outrageous amounts of dollars. People can be really smart, when given the chance, and it’s a shame that they don’t use their brains for conversing with others. Now, I know a lot of you are probably thinking of someone you’ve heard speak, and are thinking that you wouldn’t give the time of day, but just forget about that person right now. I actually like having conversations with people and it’s hard to believe that someone would give up that time to rush off to be early to a class they don’t want to be in, or go to a job they hate. An actual conversation that uses full sentences really doesn’t take that much time, so spend a minute or two with someone. Ask them “What’s up?” and pay attention to what they say.
