1st Semester

My first semester of college here has been quite the new experience. There is two weeks until the semester is over and I am riding the border line of passing and failing in almost all my classes. Just one mistake that I would make could cause me to a fail a class.
I am just way to lazy when it comes to doing my homework. I always get everything I need to done, but at the easiest way possible usually at the very last minute (like the night before class). I've been really thinking lately of why I am so lazy, because really, the work isn't all that hard here. The only problem is that I do not know what I want to do as a profession or career. I don't see the point of going to school for no point when I don't know what I want to do. I'm being forced to attend college right now simply to stay on my family's health insurance. If I had any say in what I would want to do with my life, I would be working full time right now and simply living my life the exact way I want it.
I just graduated high school. I've been going to school all my life. I don't want to do it for another four years or so when all I have been doing is dreading the last four. I'm so sick of school it's unbelievable. I'd love to take a year or two off and simply make a little money. Maybe when I would come back to go to school in a couple years I would know what I want to be and the fact that learning would seem as an interesting thing for me.

Is Life Going by too Fast?

So being in college, this one of the most important times of our lives. It is the base to our life. This time right now will define where we will be tomorrow, a year from now, 5 years, or even in fifty. As any other college student would know though, that this time in life is by far the most stressful. For me, I've been in advanced placement classes all the way through high school. That was stressful. My friends were having fun while I was worrying about my homework. Sooner than later I began to not care. Why I didn't I wish I could say. I think it's because I've never seen the point of all this hard work for a life full of prosperity that will never be reached. Now that I'm in college, it's the same scenario. My grades are awful and I'm growing back into my depressed state of not carrying. I don't know what I want to do as profession. Why should I be working hard for something that I don't even know if I want?
To top it all off I lost my girlfriend not too long ago after a year's worth of being together. That hit me in the face like I crashed my car into a brick wall. I don't see half the friends I'd like to see on a regular basis. All I do is live my life day by day just to see another weekend. It's not an appropriate thing to say, but I simply live to party. The only time I can ever feel happy is on the weekends drinking with the people I love and never get to see.
This all brings me to a question though I just thought of before I started this post. Is life going by too fast? Like I said before I live for the weekends, but it's like every second I turn around the weekend is already here. Every week I think about it too. I think "That's another week already gone." Feels like yesterday I was one game away from a state title in football. It feels like yesterday I was receiving my High School diploma. In fact it feels like yesterday about too many things in life. I just wish I could answer my own question of "Will it be too late before I want to change?"

Halloween

Why don't people enjoy Halloween like they do Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Easter. It's definitely a holiday and it only comes around once a year. Of course it isn't my favorite holiday, but it sure is a great one and to me, certainly is underrated. Maybe it's because the weather is different every year. Or maybe it doesn't have that "Christmas spark."
Have you ever actually thought about Halloween though? It is the only time of year for you to look and dress up however you want! Just think about it for a moment. One night out of the year you can look like a killer, a monster, a big round M&M, or a dirty school girl, and it's actually okay. Houses may be tee-peed or ding-dong ditched and nobody cares. No norms are violated. One night out of the year to do whatever you feel like doing, and yet, no one really cares about it.

My Love for Winter

Winter is just right around the corner. Most of us here in Wisconsin have already had a small taste of it, and it's only October. For a lot of people, this is the most dreaded time of the year. For me, it's my favorite. Something about just taking a deep breath and having the cooling feeling shoot through your lungs. I love winter. I love the cold, I love the snow, but above all, I love snowboarding. It's my favorite sport. I've been skiing since I was five years old, and once I considered myself too good at that, I converted over to snowboarding. I've now been snowboarding for a few years and I haven't skied since. I'm not that big of a fan of Mt. La Crosse though. I live for my family's annual trip to Colorado. We usually go either at Christmas time, or during the spring. It's one of my favorite travel destinations and I could just go there again and again and never get sick of it. The mountains are beautiful and it's impossible to be bored from how big their ski hills are. I think, because I learned this at such a young age, that this is why winter is my favorite season.

Talk about Technology

I just read an article that was posted on October 1, about a lamp, that runs on human blood. I don't know what this world is coming to. It turns out the chemical in the lamp is luminol-which is the same chemical used to detect blood at crime scenes. Apparently the luminol reacts with red blood cells to make a neon or bright blue glow. To light the lamp, you actually have to cut yourself and put in a drop of your own blood to make it glow. According to the inventor, the lamp was created to make people rethink how they use energy. In my opinion, if you're that desperate to conserve energy and help save the world, light a candle. The world doesn't need everyone cuttin' themselves just to make light.

You Actually Like This Band?

Who can honestly define what the characteristics of a good song has? The answer is no one. Have you ever heard of the band Cake? Not too many people have. When I was first introduced to this band about a year ago from my best friend, I absolutely hated it. If you're a first time listener all you can think about how annoying the lead singers voice is and that their music has no rhythm. The only problem is when the songs are pounded into your head, you learn to love their music. It has no gangster rhymes or kick ass drum solos, but the lyrics are what will catch you. They are poetic. They can be perceived in anyway by a listener because they have so much meaning and so many different meanings. It all depends on how you interpret the songs. I would highly recommend listening to this band. Okay, every band has some pretty crappy songs, but more often than not, these ones are good. They are a very unheard of and unpopular band, but only because no body has ever took the time to listen to them.

About My Blog

I named my blog 11 AM on Sunday because it's completely random and readers will have to actually read my blogs to see what they are actually about. This is more of a post to introduce my blog to readers.
This blog is going to be a free write blog for me. I don't have much of a creative mind when it comes to writing so I am going to write about whatever I feel like on that day. It may be current news dealing with sports, politics, etc., or it may be an issue I am dealing with in my so called "boring life."
