Kids
I hate when kids come into restaurants. Especially when they are loud and wild from the get go. Right then I know I am going to get a headache fore dealing with these kids. What i hate even more then these little animals are their parents that let them get like this. Instead of getting the smack across the head that they deserve their parents are the ones that provide them with the crackers or unfinished food that the kids take and make a mess out of. How are you gonna let your kid open up all the sugar packets and smear their food all around the table when you know someone else has to clean it up? Especially when they don't have the decency to tip even 15 percent of the bill. They should just save everyone the trouble and get food from the Burger King drive up window and let their kids mess their own house.
Music
I found that in Staten Island there are limited amounts of music that people listen to. Mostly everyone listens to Techno or House music. I feel like if you don’t like to listen to that sort of music people look like you like you’re from another world. Personally I don’t mind the Techno or House music but I also think that there is better music out there. I enjoy listing to music with different beats and words in them.
Every Techno song is a remake of a song that was made popular by another artist. I think that it’s stupid. Why can’t the people that do Techno make their own songs instead of using other peoples and passing them off as their own?
In Jersey we listen to a lot of different types of music. All my friends listen to different music from The Starting Line, Cute is what we aim for, Kenny Chesney, Bonjovi and many different assortments of artist. We all also like to go to different types of concerts. When I talk about a concert to people in Staten Island a lot of them have only gone to Beat Stock. Back home we go to concerts every chance we get.
I have nothing against Techno but I just like to listen to different types of music and I wish I could find some people that liked to listen to the same thing instead of walking around doing the Staten Island fist pump and Raving.

High School
Yesterday I was driving home from school and I decided to go into South Amboy which is the town my high school is in. I haven’t seen my old high school in a long time and by seeing it I got a little upset. I used to love going to school at Cardinal McCarrick and when I look back at my four years there I have nothing but good memories.
As I was passing the school I realized how much I missed it. I used to hate going to school sometimes because I wanted to meet new people and high school is always the same people. Now that I am in college I miss how everyday in high school you would be with the same people.
The thing I miss the most is going to school with my best friend. I’ve known my friend Cassie since we were basically born and we went to school together all our lives. We used to do everything together and now that we are in different school we don’t get to see each other as much as we would like too.

Adapting to college
So far my experience at college is alot of fun. I have made so many new friends and i enjoy spending time with these people. On the other hand I'm finding it a bit difficult to keep up with my homework and papers. The reason for this is most likely because i have no one pushing me to do all my work. I have to wake up and go to class on my own and there is no one to push me to do well.
When you adapt to college you have to take into consideration that it is not a joke. If you don't attend class then you will have a problem catching up on the materials that you have missed. Most of your teachers will fail you if you miss their class more then they would like.
Also adapting to college is hard because you have to develop time management skills so that you can figure out when you will get your work done and when you will go out with your friends. There is also money management that you have to deal with. A lot of your money is going to activities you do out of school but you need to manage how much money you spend with in a week. College is a step you take to taking responsibility for your self.

In this article it is saying how they are going to build a amusement park in my town. I live in a small town called Sayreville. I would never imagine having a amusement park in my town or anywhere near me only because it is so small and not many people would approve of it i don't think anyway.There is a limited am0unt of space in my town to begin with. I don't understand why they would want to build something like that. It really bothers me because to me my town is all ready over crowded and there are to many people in it. If they build this then there are going to be a lot of angry people in my neighborhood.
They want to build a sports complex, movie theater, amusement park, mall, and parking garages. No one would want this around where they live. To me this is absolutely ridiculous.

Next Semester
Next semester my best friend Cassie is going to be coming to St Johns for school. She is transferring in from Chest Nut Hill in Philly. I am really excited because Ive known this girl since we were basically born and we went to high school together. We were supposed to go to College together in Florida but we decided that it was to far from our home in Jersey. I always hang out with her on the weekends either i will go to her school and stay with her or she will come stay with me for the weekend. We would do everything together when we went to high school so i can only imagine how much we are going to be together next semester.
We both are so excited and were going to try to get a dorm together. Also my other friend Lauren is going to come to St Johns next year so all three of us will be living together. Its going to be awesome and i really cant wait.

Staten Island Traffic
I have never sat through traffic for more then a hour before i started to go to school here. I hate traffic to begin with and it really bothers me when i have to wait a hour to get to the mall when it would normally only take me about twenty minuts the most to get there. Sometimes i decide to go home to Jersey for the night just to sleep in my own bed and in the morning it will take me almost two hours to get from my house in Jersey to school. With out traffic it would only take me twenty minuts to a half hour.
I know Staten Island is not the only place with traffic like this but it seems no matter where i go i have to sit in a line and wait for no reason. If there is a accident then everyone will go slower to be able to see what happened. After you pass the accident the traffic seems to move alot faster because there is nothing else to look at.
I always dread getting into the car because i know that at some point during the car ride im going to be sitting in traffic no matter where i go. i like living on the Island and everything but i dont like the idea of having to wait in traffic anywhere i go

Adapting to a roommate
When you come to college and you choose to live on campus you are faced with the challenge of adapting to living with a person you may or may not know. The first week or so you don't know exactly how this person is. People tend to be nice until you get to know them. It is not rare that over time you and your new roommate or roommates may not get along. They could be dirty, rude, mean or inconsiderate. Unfortunately your are forced to live with this person unless you can find some way to arrange it so that you can move in with different people.
It is important to set rules for one another to show who your boundries. Also you should assign chores to make sure things get done. Cleaning up after your self is something you have to do now. Your mother isnt going to come and do it for you and if you dont clean for your self your just going to cause problems for you and your roommate.
It is important to respect eachother.When living with another person you have to adapt to the way they live. You have to share the expensis for the appartment and do the shopping together so you know what to get.When you live with someone you need to respect their views and beliefs in order for things to work. You have to make alot of compermises and share responsibilties. It is important to learn how to share space and talk about things you want to happen and things you don't.
After your first semester or year you have enough experience to decide what kind of person you want to live with and what kind you do not. When picking a roommate you always have to make sure you can stand to be with that person for a amount of time because sometimes you are stuck with them.
