Why do we celebrate Halloween?

Halloween seems likes a fun, exciting holiday, but what are we really celebrating? Children dress up in scary costumes to fill their faces with candy, candy and more candy. Are really celebrating satanic things or just dressing up to see how fun it is to scare people and get candy. Halloween can be all fun and games, but what are we telling people? Maybe we dream or wish of being something we are not and show it on the only holiday that you can. People dressing up in costumes might be showing there personality or just trying to be different. I'm not saying Halloween is a horrible holiday, it is just filled with mystery. In this holiday we aren't worshopping an evil things or hurting anyone, this holiday is just us kids or adults having fun and showing a different side of us and eating a lot of candy in the process.

Why do people leave homework and projects at the last minute?

It seems like everyone I know leaves some kind of homework and project until the night before it is do. It all comes back to laziness or what we have learned from siblings. My brother, Kevin, left most of his stuff off until the last minute, but he always got straight A's in school. So it was kind of stuck in my head that I will do well no matter what, but when ever I left things off it was always so nerve racking doing this big assignment at 9:00 p.m. I countlessly see people all over school going to bed late because he or she keep on leaving it off until the night before it is due. I don't know if poeple have had the same experiances that I've had, but this slacking off is everywhere. People think, "Oh, I have time to do this so I'll just leave it off when I feel like doing it," but how is it the that "feeling like doing it" so often happens at about 11:00 P.M. huring to get it done before it is do the next day? I'm even doing it right now! We need to realize that we or people around us are slackers and need to realize what we or others are doing to their selves. We need to make goals and say that we will do the assignment the day we get it, so we dont stress our little hearts out. We cant do things like this in college or we will never servive.

Laziness

Why is it that some of us make conscious goals, but never do them? In my past experience my parents and others have told me to write down goals I want to accomplish in the next year. Well, the problem is that I'm too lazy to even write down goals. In our society people are getting lazier and lazier. We can't even sit down in our classrooms and not hear you or someone else moaning and groaning. The reasons might be from the advanced technology doing so much for us already. Today you can now see macines fixing macines instead of a mechanics fixing the machines. Also, people in this generation are too wound up in their instent and text messaging that they can't even call the person or talk to them face to face. What is wrong with us? Why do we conciuosly don't care what we are supose to do in the future? Most teenagers spend most of their days sitting at a computer, listening to music or watching television. Our growth today has made us brain dead and helpless until we accually have to do something or we'll lose our job and live in a card board box for the rest of our lives. Basically our generation is screwed unless we kick ourselves and write down those goals and do them.

Problems with girlfriends and boyfriends at school

In our society we all face the the assurence of havig a companion. In High school people think that they need someone to literally "hold on to" and love. We do not need this in our high school lives to always be with someone. Your putting yourself in a position to always being on his side and leaving your friends behind. After a hard brake up, girls go through denial and depression and ask the question why? Some people at school go through like 5 different boyfriends to the end of the year. Why would you put yoursef in so much pain and misery to be noticed with another guy? I'm not saying that you shouldn't date; dating is the most crusial part of living and growing to a state of maturity to find your one and only husband in the future. Just understand that you shouldn't give your whole life to someone you know your not going to be with your whole life. Just think about what you are doing to yourself before you form a relationship with someone.

Tests

Why is it that I think I did well on test, but really I totally bomb them?
For example, I studied and studied for a Health Science test, but in the end I ended up with a C, a C! When I was taking the test I thought I was doing pretty well, like I knew all of the questions. What happened? Maybe there's something wrong with me like bad luck, or something. Well, this has happened more than once this past school year. Maybe I'm just destined to not do well on tests. I should just work on my studying and take a shot at what ever comes my way and do extra credit in the mean time.
