Self - Improvement : A Work in Progress

So today has been awesome. It started out with my extremely boring English class.. It's an hour and a half of an older woman talking, without stopping. It's sort of a joke in our class, we all hate life when we are in the class. My professor just talks and talks and talks.. She barely breathes. Enough of that, it bores me just thinking about it. By the way I'm listening to an amazing song right now. Running up that hill by Placebo. I italicized it to make it stand out :) After class I went to breakfast with my roommate.. and when we got back to the dorm I finished my UNIV 1010 class. It's a mandatory class that we have to take at our university. i was so happy. it made my day! Later on in the day, after I jumped around in joy.. My friend and I went to a local art gallery.

I ran into a very interesting video yesterday while doing homework for my online class. Its about a thing that is called Nature Deficit Disorder..

Nature experiences are great for learning and creativity. This is what scares me. If creativity dies out with the increase of indoor activities what is going to happen in our future? Without creativity nothing productive will ever happen. Think about it, it isn't just about painting and photography, but also technology and inventions. ...

College is not what people think it is. In movies it's shown as one BIG party. Lots of hot people, drinking and parties. My experience in college has been somewhat like a party but nothing like college in movies. When I first moved into my dorm I expected my roommate to be my best friend and go everywhere with me. That is not the case, my roommate and I talk, but we don't go everywhere together. Honestly sometimes it can even be awkward when we are left in the same room together. My first night at the dorm I met the other girls that I share a suite with. They looked like the typical preppy girls, mean girls if I may. Turns out that they weren't as bad as I had originally thought they were. That night we went to a tye dye party. We were given a T-shirt and we could go dip our shirts in big buckets of dye. There was music blasting and people dancing in the bright colorful lights. "This is college" I thought. This is going to be so much fun. The dance was ...
