Post Secret Obsession

My secret is....

I am a little, teeny, tiny bit obsessed with Post Secret.

I'm pretty sure that's not really something to be ashamed of, but I kind of am..............

Anyway, if you don't know what Post Secret is, Google it. People all over the world send post cards to this guy confessing their deepest, darkest, weirdest, funniest and most lovely secrets. The rules are:

1. No names.

2. Use as few words as possible. (AKA-Keep it short and sweet, kiddos.)

3. It has to be a secret you have never told.

I admit that I have read all of the Post Secret books available at my local library and often check the Post Secret website since new secrets are posted weekly. I am even Post Secret's friend on Twitter.......Uh oh, maybe I went a little too far.

OH WELL!

Those secrets make me laugh, cry, become angry or feel sorry but most of all, they connect me with the world out there. Sometimes I feel like the only weirdo who:

1. Wants to knock everything off the shelves in a quiet grocery store.

2. Is the happiest I have EVER been.

3. Hopes that my mom isn't real-life dead, but soap opera dead so one day she will just SHOW UP and it will all have been just a huge mistake!

I guess everyone is a little crazy, beautiful and hopeful underneath that "normal" facade....

Why Go To College?

I don't know.

That's the first answer that comes to mind. I don't know. Who does really?

Well, one sure fire result of college is debt. If you are the average American, that is. If, on the other hand you are luckily rich or unluckily (some say) poor then school is taken care of, one way or another.

As a current student, I feel obligated to tell the truth on this subject. College is quite expensive and (in my opinion) full of pointless classes. Why did I take one hour of kinesiology? So I could struggle through cycling and learn that I, in fact, do not like it and never want to coach. Ever.

Oh and what about drawing for non-art majors? I like to draw so this class is actually enjoyable but what purpose does it serve? My major is Criminology, btw.....

So I ask again, why go to college? Because society says you have to have education after high school to be job-worthy. I think "they" should teach classes on how to balance a checkbook and parent your children, but then again what do I know?
