Reality Television

If you didn't know it's time you do, reality television is fake. Everything that happens on those shows is scripted. No normal human beings drink all day and do the ridiculous things that happen on those shows. I admit I watched some of MTV's "Laguna Beach" and being from the Orange county area I know a few of the characters, and they vouched that it was fake. I can also tell you that it is nothing like that. I lived in Laguna beach for 2 years of my life and have lived right outside of laguna beach for the rest of my life. There is not nearly as much drama as they make it out to be. Also they film their lives over a 6 month period of time and mix and match clips in order to make it seem like things happen that did not. MTV does the job of creating these characters so that people will watch the show. Don't believe everything you see.

After college

College is suppose to be a time when you find yourself and a time where you experience new things, but what happens after college? I know you get a job and such but how as a 19 year old am I suppose to know what I want to be in life? I feel like we are being thrust into a job that we might not want.

College is about discovery and you definitely experience new things and people. I found myself looking into the business school as many who enter SMU do. Entering the business school almost promises a good career and money, but what if you get stuck in a job that you hate? I feel a lot of pressure to pursue a career that might not be for me.

If the system could be changed I think I would allow some time for discovery before entering college. I think kids should have the opportunity to have a year to spend time doing different jobs so that they can find what they really want to do. They should setup programs that allow kids to follow around people in different jobs to get a taste for them. It would be really unfortunate to find yourself with a graduate degree in a field you don't like with a job that you don't like.
