The life that I lead
So, I was sitting around playing video games yesterday (what a shock), hanging out with My house mates, and listening to tune-skis. And it hit me, surviving is really easy. I mean it's really easy. Right now I'm the most laid back I've ever been in my life, but I'm also completely self sufficient. I'm paying for everything that I'm using, I'm living in comfort, I have enough to eat, my bills are paid on time. All of this without a college degree. This isn't that much different from how it runs after college. In fact, this is exactly how it goes isn't it? You get a job and you pay your bills and buy food right? This is really easy. I guess the big thing is there is a huge difference between surviving in comfort and being succesful. It makes me wonder, though, I'm always hearing things like, "Life is hard, get used to it." And, "The real world is cruel." This means that one of two things is going on:
1. I'm somehow advantaged. Whether it be through my being more capable than the nay sayers, or I'm luckier or something. I'm not going to say that I don't think have some of this going on in my favor. But, I find it hard to believe that I'm somehow exceptional in my ability to survive effectively.
2. "People" are full of it. Surviving isn't hard, but having enough money to pay for stuff they need to escape their "difficult" lives (ie: alcohol, pot, video games, etc) is harder than they want it to be. I wish people would just total up how much they spend on shit they don't need every month and then compare that with their total income. I think, more often than not, they'll find that they're living pretty posh lives.
Or maybe I'm missing something all together.
