Almost

I can't wait for school to be over. I am almost done!!! This semester has gone by fast, but it has not been one of the easier ones. There have been several points this semester where I just wanted to go crazy and stop everything. So with finals just around the corner, I need to crack down on the studies to finish strong. Can't wait for the upcoming trip because it will be a much needed break from everything. Life has slowly been getting to me and I am trying my best to get through it. I can't wait to see what life has coming for me later this year though. I am looking forward to August and I hope things work out. We will see what happens.

My New Addiction

I just turned 21 on Friday and I feel old. Hahaha. My roommates and some friends chipped in to get me an iPod Touch and I have been playing with it since Saturday. I can truly say that I am addicted to my new iPod. This new addiction to my iPod caused me to think about addictions in general (kind of a stretch but I think it works).

When we allow addictions to take over our lives we begin to lose the things that really matter. Wheter it be alcohol or an iPod, we must always try to keep our eyes open to our addictions. If we can't find our addiction, then it can cause us to lose things such as friends and family.

How does one even become addicted to something? I mean my iPod is just a thing and I shouldn't let it take away from my schooling. I do realize this and will put it away if I can't get things done. So we all must try to find the things that we let run our lives and try to put an end to it. When we can do this then we can be truly free and enjoy life.

Guys Don't Understand

I once again just got done reading an article on yahoo (I really need to get a life). It lists 9 things that guys don't understand about women. Here they are:

1. The Shoe Surplus
2. The Hair-Tie Chaos
3. The Communication Encryption
4. The Cattiness
   
5. The Insectophobia
6. The Constant Drama
7. The Hunger for a Quick Hitch
8. The Attitude Transition
9. The Attraction to Jerks

#1 is something I understand. I myself have too many shoes in my closet.
#2 is just about women wanting options?
#3 is something I somewhat understand. The article says it's about saying one thing but meaning the complete opposite. I find this one to be very funny.
#4 is a little confusing. Why do girls always feel that they have to compete with other girls?
#5 is not only women. I know a lot of people, both men and women, who are afraid of bugs.
#6 is something I definitely understand. Girls always love to be involved in drama and it can get so tiring.
#7 is a little weird. They quote a guy saying why do girls want to get married so fast. Don't really agree with this point.
#8 is complicated. Things can be good for a while, but then they sometimes love to flip the switch. I sometimes think are going well, but then she does a complete 180.
#9 is the one that I have talked a lot about. I still have no idea why girls love the jerks. Lyn and Kat said it could just be about the alpha male thing. Even if it is because of this, it still does not make sense.

Man this is the second relationship blog, how sad.

Nice Guys

I just got finished reading this article about "nice guys." This article states why the jerk is usually the guy who gets the girl. What I am got from reading this article is that "nice guys" finish last because they care too much. The author says that if the guy is too nice, than he loses his worth, value, and confidence. The author also says that the jerk gets the girl because he doesn't invest everything.

Really? Those are the reasons one can come up with for the "nice guy" thing? Just because someone cares means that they lose their own value? When one invest themselves into a relationship they are headed to being just a friend? In my opinion this is all wrong. "Nice guys" don't care too much, it's just who they are. They really do want the best for people and it just comes as second nature to them. And investing too much? Why would I want to be half committed in a relationship? Would that not seem as if I did not care about the other person? A relationship needs both persons to be committed and be willing to work on the relationship. If one is not fully committed, than the relationship won't work out.

I just think girls make up excuses for the "nice guy" because they are afraid of ruining a friendship. If girls really wanted a relationship with a guy they could fully trust, should they not at least give the "nice guy" a chance?

I don't know if this made any sense, but I just wanted to share my thoughts about this article.
