It’s kinda sad that I used to wish I had nothing so that whatever accomplishments I made would be dope. Since I have so much I get more and more scared of fucking up…but I need to be brave and really make decisions for myself
Wow...

Passion/Music
Today in art class, I heard two students (astronomy majors) talk about astronomy with such unbelievable passion that I couldn’t help but think damn, I wish I felt that way about something. But quickly I realized, that’s me with music. Then I thought, damn I wish my passion could involve something more practical that could transition to a stable career, like medicine or computer...

Psychology
I find satisfaction from helping, listening to, and understanding others. So normally I would consider psychology as one of the career paths I could take. But from what I’ve gathered, it seems like a psychologist is really just someone who gets the other person to think, talk, and find out his own solution to his problems. A psychologist is just a much needed friend. It seems like...
I secretly don’t like when people lie to me, even if it’s a joke or for fun. I’m hella gullible, but it’s because I like to trust my friends and hope they won’t take advantage of my gullibility. So in a way it kinda hurts :( specifically, someone told me he bought a ticket to fly over n visit me. Fuck you!

I wonder if you can be best friends with someone forever if you have different values and different levels of ambition
Technology........................
i haven’t posted in a longasss minute!!!!!!!! This summer has confirmed how evil technology is…freal though, life used to be so simple! Graduate college, get a steady job, live happy. Buy books at the bookstore, rent movies at the nearest Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, and watch some family TV like Boy Meets World or Full House. Now Borders closed down, Hollywood Video got screwed,...

i see this person in a whole different light now =_=
I’m surprised…and frustrated.. there’s so many people who I just want to SHAKE because they need to get their lives together. It’s so hard when it’s your really good friends, and they never learn from their mistakes. And when you tell them, they’re too stubborn to listen. It’s like they’ll open up their lives and problems to you and make you...

Degrading? Or empowering?
Those 50 or so workers helping to prevent a nuclear catastrophe…apparently they’re inevitably going to die and they know it…my heart really aches for them and the people of Japan…
Sometimes I feel fucking selfish when I’m wrapped up in my own issues. When I hear of this kind of shit I just get so sad and frustrated that 99% of the time I’m concerned with the...
Do you believe in love?
My resident explained love to me in scientific terms, in both evolutionary and chemistry terms. She doesn’t believe in monogamous relationships, and thinks love is just a chemical reaction in the brain that is exhibited through attraction. People are attracted to other people, and after a few months of a relationship with one person, people just become dependent. And I think...

You know what’s depressing? When you feel like you don’t deserve that person because you can’t give him the love he deserves.

To give up on love, or not to give up on love?
Should we settle for “safe”, or should we risk turning down each opportunity to find the “one”?
…Can we continue being an optimist through all the let downs and loneliness?
Psychosocial Health
I was doing my homework, and I didn’t know what psychosocial health meant. After looking it up, I found that having good psychosocial health seems to be everything I strive for (and others should strive for as well). Pulled from http://psychosocialhealth.tripod.com/id2.html —
feeling good about yourself
feeling comfortable around other people
controlling tension and anxiety

Sleep
-There are 5 stages of sleep.
-You dream each time you sleep. Sometimes you remember it sometimes you don’t.
-In stage 2 you get sleep spindles which are important for procedural memory. You get most of your sleep spindles from around 7-8 hours of sleep (you get most of them from your REM sleep) -Deep sleep stage = important for muscle repair
-REM sleep= important for emotion...
Before you pity yourself... (cont.)
Today in class, the last guest lecturer talked about the most depressing topics on poverty and disease. He showed us pictures of the people he met, most having some sort of illness or problem or is already deceased now. Due to financial problems, they can’t find the healthcare they need for treatment and other essentials. It was devastating to hear and see. I always contemplate what...
Before you pity yourself...
Half of the population of Uganda earns $1.25 a day or less. 15 million children die of hunger every year. Every 3 seconds, a child dies from disease. 1.1 billion people in the world don’t have access to clean water. What can we do to help?

I don’t remember the quote but basically, the best conversationalists find themselves not needing to say much— the other person in the conversation finds him or herself pouring out their own stories and personal life instead
…that’s when you know you’re an excellent conversationalist. When people trust you enough, find you interesting enough and reliable enough,...
