This is a short post. A post in which I am also testing out a mobile app for Blogger. Let's see how it goes.
Expectations, I am again overwhelmed, but it doesn't take much to overwhelm me. This time I am overwhelmed by the amount of Expectations that are "expected" for us teenagers/young adults on a given day. Starting with school.
School Expectations:
Read 20pages of an extremely boring book a day.
Do 30plus math problems a day.
25point summitive and 35point formative due in a week.
Study for all tests.
Remember everything the teacher says because it is important even if it is only mentioned once and talked about briefly.
Learn brand new concert music, be ready to perform it in two weeks, or expected to practice outside of class.
Friend Expectations:
Listen to their problems.
Think of wisdom for their problems.
Don't expect them to do the same.
Make sure they stay in one piece.
Be fun.
Don't poop the party; join.
Be exciting and funny at all times.
Peer Expectations:
Be nice.
Hide your inner freak for your true friends.
Look nice.
Don't say anything unless it's amazing.
Work Expectations:
Must be doing something always.
Think outside the box, even if you are being payed minimum wage.
Don't be tired.
Body Expectations:
Eat what you crave.
Eat healthy.
Sleep.
Drink coffee.
Watch your weight.
Drugs are only meant for sometimes.
In one day all of those expectations come into play at least once. Why is there so much expected of us, and how can we do it all?
