Sometimes, I really like what thelizman has to say:
"Time is money. I don't have any money, and I don't have any time either, but the causes of the two are unrelated. I don't have any money because I do not have, nor do I desire, a job. I don't have time because I'm going to school full time (actually, it's well over full time), hence the reason for not wanting a job. "
Let's do the math. I'm currently taking 17 hours of classes (exactly 1 hour below the max). If I study for two hours for every hour in class (which is low...you're supposed to study for three), that comes out to 34 hours a week. Add that to the 17 hours I spend in class and you get a whopping total of 51 hours a week. Which I do say is pretty damn good. Note that this is not including the time I spend running the Philosophical Society (of which I was elected to the office of President today) or being in the Judo Club, or being in the Students for Organizational Development Club. So you know what? Fuck anyone who says I need a job. Would I like one? Sure. I'd love to have the money. It really sucks eating Ramen all the time. It really sucks watching how much I drive. It really sucks not going out with people. It really sucks not being able to buy books. But you know what? A lot of things suck too. And considering everything, I'm pretty well off compared to some poor bastard starving to death in Africa or a political dissident being tortured to death in Asia. People (including myself) should stop bitching about how bad their life is when they're in the top 1% of the richest people in the world.
So from now on, I'm going to try to not bitch about money. People? Now that's a completely different matter. :)
