Geeks or Freaks ?

Can you imagine a world where you were either catagorized as either a geek or a freak? There are so many different people in the world that you can't just give someone a label. If someone plays a lot of sports and thinks the world revolves around them, you can't call them a jock. What if they also are really good at math, then they must be a Geek. Can they be a jock and a geek? What if a cheerleader wears a lot of black clothes? Is she an emo cheerleader? Our high school is so labled that we forget who we really are. If someone is labled in school, and then their parents treat them like a child at home, who are they really? Parents are too involved in their child's lives that their child forgets that they are a secon semester senior and will have to face the real world very soon. In just 4 months and 6 days, we will all be out of high school and will have to start acting like adults. Believe it or not, we're 18 and are adults by age. We rely so much on our parents that when we graduate, we will be so reliant on our parents that we will have a hard time adjusting to college life where parents aren't there to do out laundry and go grocery shopping for us. Good luck to all !

Awkward Turtle

For some people, silence can make them uncomfortable, so they say its an awkward silence. I feel that its only awkward when you make it awkward. When you just meet someone, it can be weird when you run out of things to talk about because you don't know eachother yet. Once you meet someone, it becomes less awkward because you find things in common so you can talk without having to make an awkward moment. People can make jokes about the awkward silence, but that can sometimes make it more awkward because neither you nor the other person have though of something to talk about. Then once you do think of something, you both end up starting to talk at the same time and that makes it even more awkward because you both start saying, "you go ahead". and that can go on for a few minutes. It can also be the awkward silence when you tell a joke and no one laughs.

About Me

I'm Jenny. I'm a senior in sociology. There really isn't a simple definition that can describe a person. I'm the first person who was born in the country from my family. The rest was born in what was USSR, but now is Ukraine. Except, we don't speak Ukranian. We speak Russian. I stopped speaking Russian when i was about 8. I still know it, i just choose not to use it. My parents give me crap about it a lot. But it's fine with me.

My biggest influence in my life has been my grandpa. I actually have no clue why he's such an influence on me because he died when i was 3. The day i really started to remember my grandpa when i was at a family dinner at my aunt's house. My grandpa told my cousin, who's 31, that when i was born, everyone will still love him the same way. I'm not sure why that impacted me so much, but it did. When i was 12, my brother was born, who's named Mark, after my grandpa. I also have a tattoo in memory of my grandpa.

I'm going to Eastern next year to major in Psychology. Then after, im going to Argosy to get my master's and doctorate. My major goal in life is to get married, have a family, and become a clinical psychiatrist. My purpose in life? I'm not sure.
