The Million Dollar Question

Yesterday, while I was walking my dog I was thinking of a question that I would really like answered. However, I am not going to tell you what the question was, because that is not the point. I was thinking about this particular question and how if I had the answer to it life would be a lot more simple. Everyone has their own "million dollar question," the question that if answered would provide a clear path and a clear conscience. I always think that I would like to sit down with someone older then me, who has lived a full life, and just fire off rounds of question. But then I began to think.........hey, they cleared their own path, so why shouldn't I? If I had the answer to my "million dollar question" then everything would just fall into place? Then I could stop thinking about the many possible answers I had been forming in my head?
No.
Now what fun would that be? We have to make our own answers to out million dollar questions. The range is limitless and we can explore what answer suits us best, because you know that one piece of advice is almost never enough. I think that is what life is about. You began to learn the answers to all your "million dollar questions" by trial and error. Of course your going to make mistakes and not always choose the best answer, but eventually you will get the hang of it. And then you will have answered that mind blogging question yourself, through years of living.
So I challenge you, next time you form a "million dollar question," try and explore it yourself. Ultimately, the answer you will find will be much more gratifying than any answer that could have been provided to you.

Too many thoughts.....?

As I go about each day I always think....hmm this would be something interesting that I could blog about. I probably think that maybe 5-10 times a day....... It is hard to decipher what exactly I think is worthy of being addressed.
Well, I am going to take a different approach.
Here are some topics that have run through my head during the last couple of days:
1. Selfishness
2. Family life
3. Religion
4. College
5. The United States and our present state
6. How much work kids really are....(I babysat for my sister, she has four)
7.How different things are as you grow up
8.How EXTREMELY weird it is to move back home after two years of college
Okay, I am feeling a pull to number eight, lets go. So after two years of college I am home for the summer, to again live under my parents roof and call Trenton my hometown. Now, don't get me wrong there is NOTHING better than being with my family and being home. But I have to say that it is just awkward. I can definitely notice a difference between last summer and this summer. I just feel out of place. I know that this is, and will, always be my home but I feel like I should not be here longer than a weekend. This is very weird for me, considering how homesick I get, but I am beginning to think that I like home in small doses? This is the first "grown up" feeling I have really had while living at home. I think I have finally adjusted to the new phase in my life. Looking back, freshman year seems like somewhat of a transistion period, you like college because it is so new but also miss the home and town that you grew up in for 18 years of your life. Well, I don't know how the second year changes you, or maybe it isn't everyone, maybe it is just me, but I feel like the second year stablizied me in this new phase of my life.
College students, any thoughts?
