Hello, my name is Alyssa.

I no longer have a life because it is dedicated to school and work. I work about as many hours a week as my mom and balance school on top of it, including an extra online class that will run during the summer. I truly wish that I did not become dependent on my own income; I am envious of those whose gas tanks are filled by mommy and daddy and the insurance covered by them as well. Yes, I realize that I was given $7,000 for my car, but I also put in $8,000, and I pay my own insurance and gas. I am extremely responsible, but maybe too much for my age. A favorite teacher of mine really made me think today. Is it really worth sacrificing so much for a job that I hate? It really isn't. But I am too much of a push over to ever do anything about it.

I am extremely jealous of my friends who are living high school for what it is worth. Granted, sometimes I hate it and can't wait to leave, but at the same time I wish there was more time. More time to be a better student, more time to be a better friend, and more time to do absolutely nothing at all. I love my boyfriend very much, if not for working in the same building and making sure we took breaks together, we would probably never see each other. I have been neglecting what few friends I have, and for that, I appologize. I do not do it intentionally; the main reason is that I simply do not have free time. The other signifigant reason is that I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs of any kind and do not prefer to be around it. Recently, many of my close friends began to engage in this sort of behavior resulting in an even larger space between us. It seems that these days, no one knows how to have fun without doing one of the above.

Sorry for the excessive ranting, I am done.
