Bored? Paleeasseee!!

Most people I talk to: "So Katie, what are you doing this summer?"

Me: "I'm just hanging out."

Them: "Are you working?"

Me: "No."

Them: "Are you taking classes?"

Me: "No."

Them: "You suck." or "That'll be a nice break for you." or, my personal favorite,

"You are going to get so bored!"

BORED?!!!!! BORED?!!!!!
The more I have thought about this response the more it bothers me. It seems as though people have become conditioned to think that school and work are the only things in this life to keep you occupied. Some seem to have lost touch with the fact that we go to school to get a job to fund our life. We do not work because work is life.
I hope that this is something that I never forget. It must be an easy thing to forget because so many people seem to think that without work or school to keep one busy, there is nothing else to do.

How can this be so? There is so much about this life to enjoy. There are so many amazing things and places in this world to learn about and experience. There are friends and family to talk to and spend time with. There are games and books and activities....there is so much to be learned! The more I learn, the more I realize that I don't know. I know probably .1% of all the things there are to know about, if that. That's crazy considering that I'm about to start my sixth year of college and I am in my 24th year of life.

Then there is God and all things spiritual. Can you ever learn enough, study enough , worship or experience enough when it comes to God?

Bored. Ha.

p.s. If anyone reads this and then hears me say that I am bored, please slap me in the face.
