We're too young to be this old.

Woah, talk about being on a hiatus for a week. Considering it's me, and I usually write everyday, it's been awhile. So, hello.

I keep hearing people talk about stressing over school, or my job is keeping me from this, or my parents are pushing me to do this, or blah blah blah. Stop. Breathe. Now, let's talk.

I'm starting summer school on the 7th, with a 40 hour work week which is becoming more and more stressful. I work at an up and coming airline. We are constantly adding more planes to the company, and with me working in Technical Publications, we have to get manuals printed for the aircrafts ASAP or planes don't fly. Yeah, it can get pretty stressful. I'm also looking at moving out and buying a new car. So stress? Yeah, I have a little bit of it, but I'm not wound so tight my head could explode. We are too young to be this old..

I am 20 years old, and yet I used to sit on my ass in front of facebook for the better part of the day. Really? I'm sure others do it too. Or Twitter. Or Youtube. Or whatever your prerogative is. Why are we doing this? Why are we living virtually when we could be living in the real world? Experiencing, learning, growing?

Guess what I'm doing today? I'm going to go climb a mountain. Yes, I'm going to go climb a mountain because I want to. I'm going to go experience. I'm going to go enjoy fresh air. I'm going to go eat a buffalo burger loaded with 4 kinds of cheeses. And I'm going to go drink lemonade with sugar on the rim. Ladies and gentleman, why are we so stressed out with things that shouldn't matter?

My job? I used to stress out over it because there was so much to do. But now? After I clock out in the afternoon, I don't think about it. It doesn't even cross my mind. (The cool thing about my job though is that I get to go to the grand canyon on Tuesday). However, despite my up and coming school work, my job, my parents, my apartment hunt, I refuse to stress myself out. It's life. It's an adventure. So strap on your hiking boots and let's go climb a mountain.
