6 Words For Your Life

Given only 6 words to sum up your life is a difficult task to do because you don't know what to focus on. Do you focus on the happy times, the sad, the boring, or the near death experience you had last week?? In all honesty, when we were asked to submit this in class I froze and had no idea what to possibly write about. Then it dawned on me. Although this may seem impossible, just write something about who you are today and what got you here, are you happy, sad, creepy, energetic, clumsy, or over run with things to do and exhausted? I wrote something to the effect of "Get a job, pass it on." At that point in my life I was so overwhelmed with everything that I had to do that I began passing on simple tasks such as walking the dog or driving. Although those seem minor things to pass on, I am a terrible passenger in a car because if I am going to die in a car, it is going to be because of my own stupidity not someone else's, and for me to say I won't drive when I am going somewhere truly shows the exhaustion I must be feeling at the time.

Ellen Degeneres

As Ellen shows us in her piece in technology and how it grows, technology is becoming more of a burden on society, and simply making people lazier. Sure there are no yogurts that you can eat on the go, and sure it may be fun for kids to eat, but if you're in a hurry, you should have started your day earlier or just grabbed a granola bar on the way out the door. People are always on the go and this is taking away from the standards that few people still hold close which include sitting down for dinner with your family, and arriving places on time because they were actually prepared and allowed time for traffic.
