A lot happened on July 1. Fares for the MTA Public Transportation here in Los Angeles goes up. About 300 city workers get pink slips, which really sucks. New laws go into affect among other things.
But I'm not that concerned about the stuff I just mentioned. July 1st is the absolute mid point of the year. Its the midterm of how far you've reached you planned goals and resolutions that you made and should've kept since January 1. Plus its also a time when those who just graduated high school, like my little brother, start enduring the "rest of their lives" in this "wonderful place" we call the Real World. What that means is that once you enter college or a university for that matter, everything that applied to you back in high school, such as being in the Principal's Honor Roll for 4 years or maintaining a 4.1 GPA at the least from 9th grade to 12th grade or the Academic Decathalon award you finally got your school to win, won't even matter once you step into the big leagues. No one is gonna give a shit about the latest trend you wear or your commentary you publish in the University newspaper about saving the lemon orchards next to the campus from being torn down to build a new parking structure. Everyone there is mostly full of themselves just trying to make sure they have all their units matched to their major requirements. They don't have time for any of that extracurricular stuff that's provided by the universities, cause that shit only attracts college freshmen.
Reason being is that the college life is full of people of all ages and walks of life, not just people in their late teens and early twenties. These are the type of people who you'll most likely run into and keep in mind I'm not judging by one particular race, whereas this applies to just about every different type of person. You mostly see:
-Full time mothers
-underage high school kids looking to graduate college at 18 years old
-strippers who will not admit they're strippers
-9 to 5 gen-x'ers who are looking to make more money
-retirees who are bored with their lives
-foreign immigrants who are twice as old as you
-former top execs who got affected by the recession
-a nursing student from an outside vocational school
-a retail store assistant manager who's always late for class
-that one dude who challenges the instructor, and walks him to the car after class to continue the debate
-that one attractive bombshell you keep turning your head to every 4 minutes
-a group of people who's the same age as you that you'll only see in the first two weeks of class and disappear all of a sudden
and other types of people who you'll never expect to see in a high school
So there you have it class of 2010 students. Use great advantage at the school you spent studying your ass off for its SAT requirements and your parents lifesavings that they could've used to by themselves that yacht to use at Marina Del Rey, or that new Mercedes-Benz SL convertible to use while they driving along the coast of the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) during their holidays. Oh and PLEASE don't give your camera or allow cameras at binge drinking frat parties for the risk of those drunk photos of yourself winding up on Facebook with your future employers lurking at your profile as a background check.
Well, onto the next six months.
Oh and by the way, I made a new layout since its been exactly one year that I had this Blogspot. Time is certainty an understatement that shouldn't be taken for granted.
