My T.V. Reality: Happy Birthday, Good Riddance
Other Schtuff-
As of Friday the 14th, I will be twenty-two years old. Birthdays always scare me, since I usually spend them reevaluating my entire life. I did some of that for New Years, but my birthday is always much worse.
What did I accomplish last year? Are the events of my life so far reflecting of my age? In some ways, just by knowing that I lived this long, I have to feel my life has been a success by default. Being a full-time pedestrian in South Florida is an easy way to die, so by surviving I have to say I’ve done well for myself. Or have I?
I’m not done with college yet, and no I’m not even in grad. school. The people around me are awaiting their diplomas in May, and yet I know I have about a year left. I could say I’ve been a failure as a college student. I should be done by now, and I’m not.
I still work at Mcdonalds. I’ve been working there since I was sixteen. I can’t help but feel the largest amounts of shame and embarrassment every time I go in there to punch in or anytime I tell someone what I do. Do I plan on being there forever? Absolutely not. But will I be there for at least the next year? Probably.
