The Future

The future will be a far different world from the one we will in now. Now, society and the economy are acclimated to the Baby Boom Generation. However, my generation, the Millennial Generation has been fortunately raised with technology whereas the Baby Boomers had to adjust to the inventions as they were brought about. My generation is far more tech-savy than the previous generations and because of this, our future will be more technology-based. The Baby Boomers prefer a more "traditional" way of work compared to the computer-based Millennial preference. This will strongly affect the future of developments because they will be designed to satisfy the youth, my generation. Overall, I feel as though we will see a dramatic shift in the work force, as we are already starting to see, when the youth are further integrated into the market.

The Baby Boomers vs. The Millennials

In my PPD 245 class, we are discussing a very interesting topic. After WWII, the Baby Boom generation moved from the cities out to the suburbs. They did this in an effort to start families in a more spacious and affordable environment. However, now, the Millennial generation is moving from the suburbs back into the cities. The individuals within the Millennial generation are tending to get married later and prefer to be in the city-centers for a more entertaining, social, and exciting lifestyle. I know that I prefer living in the city compared to the suburbs. I grew up in Sherman Oaks, CA and moved to West Hollywood about 5 years ago. Living in the city is far more energetic and lively, which as a kid growing up, I enjoy. I also live way closer to nightlife events making my home far more convenient. Overall, while growing up, I want to be in a city-center. When I get older and start a family, I might want to be in a more relaxed suburb. However, I am satisfied at the moment.

15 Years Completed. 1 Day Left.

I started Buckley in Beginners when I was 3 years old. Today is my last day of Senior year at Buckley. This feeling is indescribable. I see Buckley as a second home, a place that I can feel comfortable at while still gain the knowledge to succeed in life. Buckley has sculpted me into who I am today and for that, I am so thankful. I know I will often visit Buckley to pay back the respect that it deserves for guiding my life into the right direction. I am not saying "goodbye" now because I know I will just say "hello" in the future when I send my kids here. So, Buckley, I say "thank you for everything you have ever done for me. See you in the future."

Why do these computers take so long to start?

You need to do your homework that is due next period but you can't because you dont have your computer with you. You realize that there are computers available in the library so you run over to "check one out". You get one and press the power button. Three minutes later, the computer you "checked out" gives you the grey "log in" pop-up. You type in your username and password and hit enter. Your homework is now due in 10 minutes. You are waiting for the computer to load. Four minutes later you are still waiting. Your homework is now due in six minutes. You start to think of "good" excuses to tell your next teacher. All of a sudden, that little grey box shows a message: "Applying your personal settings". You get a sign of relief. "PHEWFFFFFFFF". You think to yourself, "Finallllllllly." You then realize three minutes later that the little message stating "Applying your personal settings" is THE most decieving message that you have ever read. Three minutes until your homework is due and the computer actually logs you in. You double-click the "Microsoft Word" logo with a slight hope you finish your homework in time. The computer freezes.

Senioritis 2.0

This blog covers exactly what I was talking about in my first "senioritis" blog. I am sitting in the Senior Courtyard without a clue of what I want to do today. "Senioritis" is a feeling that I can't explain. However, the proper definition seems to be presenting itself on the tip of my tongue. I hope a blog in the near future defines this feeling/distraction known as "senioritis".

Senioritis

I don't really know how to define "senioritis". Words such as "lazy", "uncaring", and "indefferent" all hint at the definition but none of them truly capture the real meaning. What amazes me most is that I am fully aware that I have "senioritis" but there is nooooooothng I can do about it. Some very smart doctor somewhere needs to make a vaccine to cure this awful yet unbelievable feeling. SENIORS '11.
