No Mirrors!!
Class this week was interestingggggggggg. This weekend I went to a college and we went to a frat house. It was so weird how the guys live vs. how girls would live. The guys would spit on the floor, have trash everywhere, and most importantly NO MIRRORS IN THE BATHROOM! I dont know why but I was so shocked at that. When I go into a bathroom I expect there to be a mirror. I think its all part of the masculinity thing that its not a "tough guy" thing to have a mirror in the bathroom. A bathroom owned by girls will always have a mirror in it because we are very concerned about our appearance. Its so interesting !!

Love and Money
Tuesdays with Morrie was an inspirational movie about life. It helped me think about who I love and who I would be devastated to never have a gain. In the movie, the main character gets too caught up with work that he forgets to think about those he loves- Morrie and his girlfriend. At times, we do get too caught up in our own lives we don't take time to slow down and enjoy it with those we love. We are constantly taking orders from our parents, our bosses, our jobs, etc. It's very easy to get tied up but we must remember to take our time to remember the things in life that really mean something. Morrie was an inspiration to the main character and helped him think about his life and his priorities. Work should be a priority but never a way of life. My older brother is someone who needed to realize this, and slowly did. My brother is a firefighter at two different cities and works a lot. He's saved up a lot of money and is still very young. Straight out of high school he began working a lot. He never took time for himself. My mom would always tell him "you have the rest of your life to work, take some time for yourself." Later down the road, I help use those words too. I will miss out on trips with my friends or family or other events because I have to work. It's easy to get caught up because we want the money. However when I look back, I would much rather have the experiences I missed rather than the money.
