No Title Needed

Be grateful with what the Lord has given you.

This upcoming generation doesn’t how to live with a lot of things. By wanting the best for your kids we have created an ungrateful generation. I am not saying everyone is ungrateful. But I am say majority of the young folks today wouldn’t know how to survive without: Smart phones, air conditioning, and being given anything they want. 

I am utterly surprised at the reactions of my younger brother sometimes. The fact that we grew up in the same house and how he complains about things I find utterly ridiculous. 

If my parents give him what he wants he complains that people make fun of him for being spoiled. If we don’t give him what he wants he throws a complete conniption fit. I can tell my parents are tired of it and they don’t know what to do. 

I am not sure why I am writing this to you today. But I am just saying there was something about growing up and your only toy being the outdoors. Having to ride your bike miles to say hello to a friend. Now they have all of that with one device and I am sad to say that one device has changed our outlook on the world.

Say what you mean, Mean what you say

I am so tired of people these days. I am a pretty, nice, cordial person if I do say so myself. However, I have been shocked at all the things I have been discarded, ditched or not acknowledged for. 

The first is my first ditched date. It was canceled 1 hour before I was suppose to meet the damn guy. I was really shocked. We hung out at a bar the week before. One of their friend’s older brother’s set us up and said we should go on a date. I was up for it but there was no way I was going to bring it up again, especially because I didn’t know if he remembered being set up. We hung out late that night and I had an absolute blast. One day he dropped me off at my apartment. I politely thanked him and thought nothing of it. However, as I was leaving he asked for my number. I was kinda excited that he asked since he is a really REALLY nice guy. We texted a bit, but it was nothing special. I kinda just thought as it as just friends until he asked me out on a date, the one we were set up on, right before one of my classes one day. I agreed because there is nothing to lose when you go on a date. However,  I agreed to this date and he literally canceled 1 hour before. I was so confused. He didn’t have to ask me again and he could have acted like he was to drunk to remember. But he did and then made a fool out of him and me for thinking it would happen. 

The next was a guy that went to my high school. He is a nice guy but we never ran in the same circles. But he followed me on Instagram one day and started messaging me. I didn’t think anything of it, until he asked me on a date. Again, I was shocked but honored and agreed. However, he didn’t decide on a day or time. He said he was really busy and that we should go next weekend. I agreed that would work out better for me and we went on. Then HE NEVER MESSAGED ME BACK. So I am just sitting here debating if I should text him showing I am still interested or if doing that will make me a crazy. 

The final one is for all the people who I don’t remember that have ditched me or haven’t showed up or committed to things they said they would do and don’t end up doing them. It really discredits who you are as a person. Saying NO is ok. I just want to let you know, being over committed is bad. Being honest is a good thing.

No Roommate to be Found

I am a senior in college and I live in an apartment with 3 other girls. I really like it however, sometimes it is a tad lonely. I have always had pretty good roommate situations. However, I currently feel like my roommates do not care about me and are avoiding me. It could be because of something I have done or said. However, it really makes you ponder a lot. Like, the fact that I could come home and close my door and my roommate would not check on me ever. Or the fact that when I am in the common area the only reason I am talked to is because I am in the way. I have not heard a “How is your day?” or “Do you have any big plans for tonight?” I find it really sad especially since I have had 2 super cool things happen within the last week. With my roommates normally the first people I tell. Of the exciting news I will first elaborate on the first one. I had a old classmate connect with me via Instagram. A tad weird how he contacted, but he asked me on a date. However, it is really exciting to be asked on a formal date these days. Most people start dating by meeting at bars or going home with someone on a drunken night. Never less, I don’t have my hopes up since my last date was canceled 1 hour before I was suppose to meet up with the guy. Because he didn’t feel like he was in the right mindset for dating even though HE asked ME on a date. However, I don’t feel like I want to share that information with people who haven’t talked to me or had a meaningful conversation with. The second really exciting this is I am accepting an internship. Yes, I am a senior that is graduating in May 2017. I have been really stressed about my future career and I have been interviewing. However, I found a internship in a ideal location in the industry I would like to be in that could potentially turn into a full time career.That is saying a lot since the Crop Industry is not in the best position to hire on new graduates. I also think that Land O’ Lakes and Winfield would be a good fit for me.

Me

Hi, I am an 21 year old woman that grew up on a farm in Delphi, Indiana. I grew corn and soybeans. Of course I was a 10 year 4-H member and I was active in the FFA. I was really big in FFA and that is why we had most of the animals we did. Horses, dogs, hogs, cats, turkeys, chickens, donkey, cattle and goats. Growing up we only had about 40 cows. However, my senior year in high school we built a 350 head cattle barn. After high school, I went to the land grant university in Indiana. Purdue University wasn’t just a college, it is a home to me. I am so grateful for my College of Agriculture family and my experiences here. If you have any questions through out this blog please let me know. I don’t really know what I am preparing, I just felt like I needed to write things down. I will let you know now I am not the best writer and I appoligize for that. I just have pondered a lot lately and though I needed somewhere to right them down.
