remember...

Teenage Years.

1. Keep your friends close and you enemies closer

2. Do what makes you happy, screw everyone else

3. Don't bother with relationships unless they are really special

4. Live with an open mind and an open heart

5. Remember.. people change; it will always get better; dance when you don't know what to do.

6. Music will always save you.

7. Do something daring

8. Think before you speak

9. Listen to you parents, they have been there before

10. Be a good friend and an even better person

11. It is better to be weird than popular

Screw this.

Welcome to modern day media marketing. Every city you travel to, every magazine on the shelf. Why is it this way. Society has created this superior image of the skinny white girl that it is all that people want to be, and that is used to companies advantage. This is the craving of a different life, a different look, being someone you are not. Well, the forgot one thing. Only about 10% of the population looks this way. Why the hell don't we use average sized girls, not a size -3? What happened to what was considered 'sexy' not that long ago. Girls with curves, not ones where their bones stick out and weigh 60 pounds and sit at about 5' 10''.

Why is it now that we cannot even afford to give ourselves a good education, when every job in this millennium requires at least a bachelors degree? People spend their whole lives working trying to pay off this debt that was almost required of them. We are 20 years old. Being able to have a part time job paying minimum wage is going to cost us 30k a year just for tuition.
