Fast Food Nation

This book has mentioned some disgusting things that I would never think would have been true. The one thing I could not stop thinking about is how it mentioned that the beef patties are made from about 200 different cows. I can imagine all the different flavors and diseases of each cow. That personally bugged me the most. Also, that if the meat is contaminated and they don’t know it is. It is still shipped away to different stores. People do not know they are being contaminated by the meat. It is scary knowing you can die by eating one of the many contaminated meats. Honestly I have somewhat stop eating fast food, but since I work in a fast food place its easy access. I did stop eating burgers, but not fries and tacos it is very bad for my health. I eat it because I do not have time to eat at home, so when I am at break in work I eat something. Although I can make myself something somewhat healthy I chose the fries they are so delicious. Sometimes I do think twice about eating it, but then my hungry mode beats me.  The book did make me realize the bad things we are feeding our body.

living the college life

The truth is I hate ALL dogs.

So far this semester is going okay. I like my classes they are not too complicated, but I make them seem very difficult. I have great professors that offer their help if needed, but the bad thing is that I do not take advantage of it. I struggle with balancing with my job, work, and family. It might not seem too difficult, but since I work night shifts I get tired of doing my homework. I get off work at midnight, and when I get home I am too tired to even look at my homework. I tried taking my homework to work, and do it in my break. I cannot focus with all the distractions around me though. There is noise everywhere my co-workers are loud and so are the customers. Then when I do have time I get distracted because of either family members or friends. They call me to do something for them or do something with them. I was recently thinking of taking a semester off because I am tired of all my procrastination. Yes I am the biggest procrastinator there is! I do my homework the day it is due, and sometimes I do not finish it therefore I do not turn it in. It really sucks, but I know it is my fault because I chose not to do it on time. My friend Alex told me not to give up and just try to overcome my procrastination. I finally decided not to give up and give it all I’ve got, but it is going to be very difficult. I have ALWAYS done my work at the last minute. I decided to stay because I do not want to let my parents down. I want to be the first person in my family to graduate collage; therefore my motivation is MY PARENTS and my future too. I do not want to work in a fast food place for ever.
