Ruminations of a College Kid.

Have you ever been doing homework when all of a sudden your brain just EXPLODES? Not in a sci-fi, literal way with brain parts all over the wall and floor, but rather an inspired way where you want to do ten million things at once and you just get super curious about EVERYTHING. I don't know, maybe I'm weird.

I've been procrastinating for about 2 days on doing my Master's work for this week. Then, when I started to read about all the changes that take place in the mind of a child in adolescence, I experienced the brain explosion thing. Maybe it's a sign. Maybe I should go into a field of psychology that has to do with adolescents. Or maybe I should go into a field of psychology where I create all kinds of empirical studies to observe different trends and correlations in the world around me. I just don't know! All I know is, I wish I had someone in the field of psychology or counseling to just talk to and bounce ideas off of. The closest thing I have right now is Jordan's parents, but they're so professional and over-my-head and secular that it scares and intimidates me.

Just one of the things that's running through my head is about social networking sites. On average, how much personal information do people share about themselves on Facebook and MySpace? Do people even use MySpace anymore? What is so appealing about sites like Twitter that just feature constant status updates? How many people have stunted social abilities in person because their lives and relationships are so wrapped up in the cyberworld? These are just some of the questions I'm thinking about right now.
My brain feels swollen. Only 60 pages left to go...Yay.

ANYWAY, that's just my random ramble (redundant?) of the day. Hope you enjoyed it! =P
