Aha Moment

My aha moment is that people at this school do not know how to walk through the hallways. At this school you can't just walk through the halls and then all of the sudden....STOP! You are in my mind stupid and should know that if you do that in front of me, I will push you out of the way and not feel bad about because YOU ARE STUPID, sorry not my problem. Don't block traffic and talk to your friends in the middle of the hallway! Just don't do it!

What Are We Talking About?

Every single day we have conversations with ourselves, our friends and our families. The conversations vary from what happened in sports to how their day is going or even if their failing a class or not. For me my conversations usually tend to evolve around how people are doing or maybe what they think about the football game this week. Lately I've noticed that the main topics for this week have been about the Ebola virus and "So, who are you going to vote for homecoming." Earlier in the week walking through the hallways I hear people talk about the football games that happened over the weekend. For me gaining value in a conversation would be for anything that's personal such as family.
