Goal to Lose Belly Fat

It is very hard for any person to lose their belly fat in general since this fat is tougher than other fat on the body and harder to get rid of. I think that my new goal of losing this small chub that I have is a great one which motivates me to eat very healthy foods, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly. When I was on the swim team for my high school I became very physically in shape and also when I joined the cross country team my freshman year. Running gives you a natural high and feels great when you are in shape. When your body feels good so do you and this helps your whole being. I felt so great about myself and now it is my goal to get in shape again. I am going to try and run, or do some form of physical activity. The Shades step team can also helps me since I have made the team and we performed at Balloon Festival for Southern Hills Church of Christ. I am also doing sit ups in order to help myself out with the goal of losing belly fat.

My Day

I had a good day today. Woke up early for class and then took notes diligently. Walked to English and turned in my essay with a good feeling about it. Then Went to chapel and ate lunch afterwards. I went to Astronomy class and took notes again. I have also decided to start making flash cards for tests weeks in advance so that when test taking time comes I have already studied for it and can feel good about myself to make a good grade on the test. Studying in advance is very general since a review sheet has not been given to me but at least I can study the main points in the chapters since I have an idea somewhat of what will be on the tests or at least it can help me to learn more and further my knowledge in the class. My Hard classes are Business, Astronomy, Finite Math, and I am loving my other classes which are U-100 seminar, Life and Teachings of Jesus, and English composition. I studied very hard for my first tests in Astronomy, Business, and Finite Math and now I know how it will be like for the next upcoming tests. I hope to do very well and I am going to start studying early to help myself especially with the flash cards.

School is a Full Time Job

No matter what anyone tells me I believe that school is a full time job. We are in high school from seven thirty in the morning to two thirty eight hour day every day of the week. Constantly having homework, essays, assignments and tests to work on when were not in class. The school tries to govern our every little action because they fill us up with so many assignments that something it is very overwhelming and stressful for a student to have to deal with. Even a very good student like myself can become stressed by all the upcoming tests and things we constantly have poured down our throats. It can be very tiring especially for the mind to absorb so many details about things right before a test and have to memorize tons of unnecessary facts that have to deal with a random subject we will never come across in our lives again. Only in school will you have to memorize what a mitochondria looks like or how many seconds it takes a ball to be thrown across a field. Things in anatomy class, physics, or math are great but sometimes the teacher needs to chill out and stop thinking their subject is the one and only wonderful subject in the world. Or a teacher can stop assigning so many thing to a kid when they are already overloaded with homework from other teachers. When all teachers believe they have to do as much possible to assign enough homework for the weekend is when it becomes a problem for the student who has to suffer through all the the mountains of work assigned. So being a student is a full time job and work is required very much so. Many students work harder than teachers too since students labor till three in the morning or so just to study for a test given by the teacher who only simply runs them through a scanning machine which doesn't require effort of any sort. So with all these college graduates working long tedious hours for a degree hopefully the economy will recover enough to offer them jobs when they get out of school

Young Adults Getting a Job

For so many young people in the workforce it is becoming very difficult to find a job in the recession. When a company becomes so picky as to require the maximum degree possible, three plus years of experience, wonderful references and even a perfect resume it becomes a competition for the working people. Even college students coming out of college are having hard times finding a job. Adults are taking kids jobs at fast food restaurants to, at Taco Bell we had many adults come looking for a job. A father brought his whole family and all were working at Taco Bell just to survive. They came from Florida and he was a construction worker who couldn't afford to support his family anymore since his job was failing him. No more construction jobs were available so both daughters started working at Taco Bell. Two other teenagers brother and sister were working there since both dropped out of high school. Their families as well struggling with the economy. It has become so hard for many people to find decent jobs and filling out applications better be something you get used to because many are not even hiring at all. One biology teacher even sent out over 200 applications and never was called back. How hard is it to find a job with all this technology and jobs are being sent over seas to cheaper labor. Where we can start up a business in China and pay those people as little as two dollars a day and then make huge profits. Selfish ambition is driving American jobs to other countries. It is even hard for me to find a job. As hard as I've tried I cannot find one. I have sent out applications all over and no one even calls. My application is filled out and I printed out several copies of it to hand out to different places with no luck whatsoever. Now I am wondering whether the people who have these jobs know how lucky they are to even have a job and that many college students would willingly take their place. I have applied at The Bean, The calling center and to be lobby person. All these spots are filled and it makes one wonder if the person you are handing your application is trustworthy to give it to the manager or just rip it up so that they can have less competition. It would be an easy feat for an employee to throw away an application of someone in search of a job so that they will not have to work harder.
All this had made me so angry and now I want to start my own business to make money. Someway I will have to find out what I can possibly sell to college students and if I can even make some sort of profit. I would love to think of something smart to sell to these students here.
