The Positives:

I don’t know about everyone else, but I know I am excited for Easter to be here. Though I may now be an adult at the ripe ol’ age of 21, I still hold onto the traditions of my youth, especially everything from dying eggs and doing Easter egg hunts to the traditional family bunny cake (a cake shaped like a bunny and not a cake made from a bunny). The only disappointment this year is that I can’t make it look like a zombie, because we have guests coming over.

One positive thing that I see from a day to day basis is my friends and family, and I think it’s a high time that you go and tell someone that you appreciate them. I’ll tell you one thing for sure; it will make their day 100% better.

The Negatives:

I have been hearing a lot of people playing the victim, even when they have done something wrong. So, I want to give a short list of things that you should not play the victim about, and in fact, you should feel bad about doing: cheating on someone, leaving someone in a different state over spring break, getting in trouble for breaking the rules, cheating on a test, etc.

If someone breaks the rules, that person is going to suffer the consequences. It’s not anything personal, and it’s not because the person giving the consequences is a jerk. They are just doing their job. If a cop pulls you over, it’s not because he doesn’t like you personally; it’s because you’re breaking the law. He has the option to write you a ticket or not. Just because he doesn’t write you a ticket the first time, does not mean that if he decides to give you one the next time you can just decide not to pay it. So let’s try to take some responsibility for our actions.

The Battery Charge:

At this point, I have heard a couple of different stories about people being left places at one point or another. That is totally unacceptable. I don’t care how mad you are at someone; you don’t just abandon them. There are very few things that would warrant that, the majority of which would require you being in direct physical danger. What irks me the most is that these people then have the gall to act the victim afterwards saying “oh, but they where mean to me.” It doesn’t matter, because you were the one that abandoned them! If anything had happened to them, it would have been your fault. Quite frankly, you owe them an apology and a nice dinner at the Olive Garden.
