Why am I so tired?
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood, screaming kids, late night talk shows, MTV, or anything else I could think of.
But now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
Here's why:
The population of this country is 273 million.
140 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government.
Leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with defeating "terrorism".
Which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 14.8 million people who work for state government.
And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me.
And there you are sitting on your butt, at your computer, reading jokes. Nice, real nice.

I always feel guilty when I think about this. I hate the fact that my parents pay so much for something I take for granted every single day. I should be devoting all of my time to my studies- that is what I am here for. But 8 times out of 10, another "pressing" issue, like drama within the sorority, or a friend having an issue takes over and lo and behold, school gets put on the back burner. On that note- even though there are so many more things running through my head, I will go and study for my future tests. Because I need to not only prove to my parents, but also to myself that I deserve to be here and I don't take for granted that everyone else had to work hard for me to be here. I can do this...

You Can Make a Difference In Your World
You Can Make a Difference In Your World
It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,
but how much you give to others.
It's not how high you build your dreams
that makes a difference,
but how high your faith can climb.
It's not how many goals you reach,
but how many lives you touch.
It's not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.
Believe in the impossible,
Hold tight to the incredible,
And live each day to its fullest potential.
You can make a difference in the world.
-Rebecca Barlow Jordan
