Just Keeps Getting Worse...

If I bite my tongue any longer it is going to fall off.

It kills me to sit here while I watch people around me make stupid mistakes.

And it's not as if it is one person in particular... so many people that I care about seem to be doing or saying things that could potentially be detrimental. I wish I could let these people see themselves from my perspective, just for a day. Let them see how their actions and words are affecting the people around them.

It was bad enough when it was just one or two people doing stupid things, but the numbers just seem to escalate. I wish I could write next month's horoscopes or something... warn people of the danger ahead.

I know they say hindsight is 20/20... but I'm about ready to step in...

To Say Or Not To Say...

Sometimes I feel so useless. There are so many times I wish I could stick my nose into other people's business and put in my two-cents worth. Sometimes I really wonder, if I did, would it make a difference? Could I be the one deciding factor that changes the outcome of the situation?

I wonder how much my opinion really matters to some people. Do my words ever have a lasting effect on someone? People tell me things all the time, but I can't help but wonder if they are just telling me because they need to tell someone.... anyone.... or because they truly value my opinion and advice.

I'm not the worldliest person, and while I've had my share of problems in life, there are so many things I haven't experienced yet. But I still have my opinions. I could debate pretty much anyone on pretty much anything. I know that I'm still young, but I think I can hold my own when it comes to certain topics.

I've been holding my tongue a lot lately and I don't know how much longer I can keep it up. I know that I'm right... and I am so strong in my beliefs... but is it my place? I don't want to get someone mad at me for getting involved in things that don't concern me.

My entire world could fall apart at any moment. What if I wait too long? What if I'm too late? And what if I say something in time, but shouldn't have... and end up making everything else worse?

Procrastination...

I am the master of procrastination. If they gave out an award, it would be mine. But I wonder... what really qualifies as procrastination?

Facebook. Facebook would have to be the deadliest method. It's so easy to spend hours on there and not even realize how much time has gone by. Suddenly, it's 3 a.m. and your assignment is now due in 5 hours. But have you started yet? Oops.

Downloading music. You remember the name of that hilarious 90's dance song that you haven't heard in years and you know you won't be able to focus on anything else until you listen to it. And, no way! They sing that song too? I love that song!

MSN. The wonderful, amazing, and beautiful contraption on the computer that allows you to chat with people from all over the globe. At any time of day. Especially when your head hurts from reading your textbook for too long. What better way to unwind then to find out what's been going on in the lives of everyone else? Even if they happen to live down the hall and you spend every other waking moment with them... ahem.

Reading. This is my big one. I love nothing more than to curl up with a good book. The problem for me is that I don't even feel guilty doing it. I have managed to convince myself that reading is a perfectly respectable way to spend my time. No matter what assignment I'm putting off at the time.

Napping. A deadly yet highly necessary habit. The deadly part is if you don't set an alarm. Missing classes, dinner, and imperative homework time can lead to your downfall. However, it can be crucial to nap. Especially if you stayed up until 3 a.m. the night before doing an assignment.

Blogging. Oh crap...
