it frustrates me to deal with other people's mindsets sometimes. I don't look down on them or think ill of them for their way of thinking, but I get tongue-tied and can't express MY way and then I feel like I am betraying myself ( Read more... )

That icon of you is absolutely angelic. As for the college bit, I just got a 2 yr degree and I don't think it had any effect at all on my career or salary, but what it taught me- the experiences of being around people, or finding those who are both like minded and your exact opposite and communicating with them- you can learn these lessons in life as well. What you show in this post is proof of that ( ... )

I'm in college, studying sociology, and I love almost every minute of my sociology classes.

Some were interesting, some I hated with a passion. Unfortunately, that's how the U.S. college system works. You get to study a bit of what you love, and a bunch of other crap too

I understand where you are coming on about the school thing. I'm kind of in the same quandry myself.

Why do you feel you will die before 50- is this just a premonition or do you have a medical condition that I just dont know about? This comment really threw me for a loop.
