Cell phones at school

I'M GLUED TO MY BLACKBERRY! Honestly, I don't think that I could ever go back to just a regular phone, in case I got it taken away :(. This was a while ago but I know it may sound familiar. I got my blackberry taken away at school plain and simple. It was taken away for that whole week which again I don't have a problem with... Well until I realized this... my phone is my lifeline, it has my friends birthdays, important dates, my emails, my text messages, my facebook notifications and it's my camera. I went crazy for that week and the worst part was that when I went to give it in the lady asked me for the battery! As if it matters you've got the phone you don't need my battery! I've only hear rumors that they browse thru your phone but I really didn't know, so I politely said no and that was that. Now I'm not 100% sure if that's what she wanted the battery for but you never know.

Relationships And School ?

A lot of people have them, are they really that much of a problem? I know some high school teachers think so and even some students think so. In my opinion, they're not bad at all especially in high school. To be honest, they're probably the best thing for a teenager in high school. They keep you somewhat sane, if you think about it a person with no friends and one boyfriend/girlfriend can be as happy as someone with a whole lot of friends and not boyfriend/girlfriend. Someone with the best of both worlds will be the happiest person in school. Now someone with neither people would say they're anti social, well it all matters on how you're willing to open up to someone!

Respect

People have lost complete respect in general. No one moves when somebody’s walking in the middle of the walk way, they'll just run into each other. It's getting to the point where people just think they're on top of the world and it doesn't matter what other people say or do. I know it's a long shot but what happened to the days where people use to walk grannies across the street!? Now that was LEGIT respect, now you see more people pushing grannies in front of cars then pulling them away from them. It's sad how now people are so lazy and careless. This disrespect is everywhere too now, in schools, on the streets, in the workplace even friends are disrespecting each other. But what can we say when technology now a day’s does everything for us?????

Peer Pressure

Obviously in high school you've been pressured into doing something. Rather it be drugs, alcohol or skipping. I'll be talking about a different type of peer pressure, the pressure of schooling. It takes different forms from being pressured to take the same classes as your friends and so on. Now I know everyone wants to be in the same class as they're friends, but if you don't need that class, or don't even want to go to that school, why are you wasting your time ? Your friends won't always be there for you in the future, you'll need to make your own decisions in life because it affects you and not your friends. Following a friend that doesn't want to do the same thing as you, you'll just be hurting yourself in the long run.

Another reason

Now, I know a lot of people go away for college and university, and since I live somewhat far away from my highschool I probably wont see some of my friends after highschool. Even though, some people from my school are coming up to peterborough to go to school, the majority of them will stay at home and go to school there. If this is happening to you in the near future, not to worry, thats why people have invented social networking websites. Sites like facebook, twitter, skype, myaspace and msn make life easier when you're living away from home. Also, to stay in touch on the go, they have applications that can be downloaded to your mobile phone, Blackberry and Iphone users can download the mobile apps, and you get all your nottifcations on the go no matter where you are ! Technologie makes our lives easier and easier ;)

ACCEPTED ?

So comming into the month of October, it will be application month. Like I said in my previous post, I would love to go to Trent university. Now here comes the most important question while applying, "What If I Don't Get Accepted ?". Well the sweet answer is, apply somewhere else, there's bound to be somewhere who has the same program and classes. The one website that helped me out a lot was http://www.ontariocolleges.ca/. It has detailed explications and facts about each college and university. Now depending on what province/state you're in, it will be a different website, although if you plan on applying to colleges and universities in ontario you must click that link.

The not so far away.

In my life, I’ve been having mix feelings of what I would like to do when I grow up. Although, to me the sentence “when I grow up Ì want to…” means a lot more than just finding a career, it means picking the right university, buying the right car, deciding if I want to settle down and have a family. Lately I’ve been thinking that I want to be a children psychologist, I would love to go to Trent a live at home until I get my PHD, and then buying a minivan. So yes, that means I would love to have a family. I’m almost positive that will change in the near future though…

Until later,
