Quick answer (if you know me at all, you already know the answer): MOCK TRIAL. Anyways, this title for a blog post seemed like it would enable me to be somewhat random in everything I want to cover with this post. Topics include: Where my time has gone, Facebook chat, men, and religion.
TIME: So since January, mock trial was a significant time commitment. Not at all a bad thing, in fact I loved it! I am so incrediblly glad that I joined mock trial this year. It was such a wonderful experience and I have met so many people that I would consider my new family in college. They are some of the funniest, most caring, respectful, well-spoken individuals and I look up to a lot of them. I'll really miss the seniors next year! :'(
FACEBOOK CHAT: I usually leave my facebook chat off. Why? I really do not enjoy talking to people over Facebook. Or texting for that matter. I much prefer in-person contact, you know, instead of superficial, technology-dependent forms. Really, I just feel like anything that's not in person is so forced and unnatural. If we're going to have a conversation, can we please just keep the bulk of it in person, face-to-face?
MEN: (***DISCLAIMER: I am not using this as a blanket statement for all men or as a generalization for what I think of all men.***) I really don't find the "player approach" to be attractive or effective. The way I see it, if you present yourself as having girls all over you, then why would I want to think that I would be any different to you than they are? I find the lady's man persona to be a turn off. Get over how many girls you could get, choose one and keep it at that.
Next point of contention here. I won't lie, having a guy tell me I'm attractive is extremely flattering and does boost my self-esteem and make my day as it would any girl. But when you ask my on a date for that reason and that reason alone, I'm not so inclined to say yes. Call me crazy, but I would want someone to want to date me for who I am not who I appear to be. (In other words, know who I am as a person, my goals, interests, etc.)
RELIGION: While I am not a religous person at all, I hate when people tell relgious jokes or make assumptions about other's religous views. I honestly do take offense to it when one individual chooses to insult another's belief system, even if it is in the most mild form. You could call this one of my pet peeves.
Other pet peeve: Not being direct. People, people, people. Can someone tell me what good it does to be ambiguous and beat around the bush? Anyone? Okay, even if you can, I still much prefer being blunt.
Until next time, there is my life advice and personal preferences!
