Paper Troubles
I have become a procrastination queen! I hate being behind but I feel as though I cant help it. I have found a few sources but I am having trouble finding credible sources. My topic is the psychological and multitasking problems involved with myspace and facebook. The library anna catalog is of no help to me because I tried and it wont bring anything up related to my topic. I find that everytime I use google or yahoo search engines they give me mainly crap sites. But that is a whole other topic in it's self.

I dunno what to do???
Ok I'm having a little trouble deciding on major...I really dont see how people do it because its such a life changing choice. I know you can change it but that is time wasted so how do you know what to choose. I feel very indecisive when it comes to making big decisions like that. How do you pick how your going to spend the majority of you life. I dont want to do just one thing for the rest of my life. My life is so multifaceted why should I have to narrow it down to one thing. I can't! People also always say that what ever you have passion doing that you shouldn't worry about the money...it will come. That is not always true. These days you have to look at the pay with a job. I hate it but it does matter. You have to make sure that your career will support your lifestyle. So its not all about doing what you love because what you love wont always pay the bills. I hate money but its part of everyone's life whether they like it or not. Life seems to grow more and more complicated and all I want is to be happy. Is that so much to ask? To live happily ever after...
Why?
You know i just dont understand people sometimes. You know i've been thinking and i am one to worry about anything. It gets me no where...worring about something is not gonna make it happen that much sooner or better or whatever. It wont change a thing...so why do we do it? I havent a clue. I say people make life hard...but i do too. In government (i miss ole coach greer) one day we were talkin about how the cost of living is increasing all the time and i was so frustrated and said, 'why cant we just live?' Maybe that is a question i need to ask myself...why cant i just live? I make my life so hard sometimes and i dont know what to do sometimes. I have diagnosed myself with OCD and its hard to deal with my life being out of order or spontaneous. Maybe the next time you are worried about something you should stop and think is it really worth it? Is it really worth me worrying about? I bet i have already wasted half of my life worrying, no joke! I dont understand...i dont understand a lot of stuff. From now on i cant say ill never worry...i probably will my whole life...but i hope that you, well who ever is reading my not realizes that its not worth your time to worry. You should live your life stress and worry free...because a life of worry and stress is not fun...im tellin you. Next time your worried think about the fact that its not gonna change a dang thing...God never said life would be easy...He never said that once you were saved it was gonna be a piece of cake...there are gonna be hard times in your life and maybe even a few heartbreaks...but dont worry about it...everything is meant to be...everthing happens for a reason...next time something bad happens in your life dont sweat it, its just not your day...make the best of it...what if we dont get tomorrow...smile and bear it...I know it sounds stupid me telling you not to worry but i know what its like and believe me once you start its unstoppable...i seem to worry about others before i worry about myself...ha ha its sad i know

Wallis, Claudia. "The Multitasking Generation." Time 19 Mar. 2006. 5 Mar. 2007 .
Summary:
This article is based around the fact that kids of this generation have too many things going on at once. They fill their time with things that are basically useless and are not of educational value. The author uses an example at the beginning of a family that has a husband, a wife, and two kids. The kids are always on the internet whether it is Myspace or IMing with friends they fill hours of their day with this. The main point they are trying to get across with this is that it’s questionable that kids are really getting things done when on the computer and listening to music while studying. It also discusses the age of children when they start getting online and it is shockingly getting younger and younger.
Importance:
This is a very important subject because it applies to so many young people including myself. It’s hard for me to personally multitask but I think well maybe it’s a gift.
Connections:
This is directly connected to me and the vast majority of college students because it affects all of us. So many college students often find time to get on Myspace or Facebook but can’t seem to squeeze in time for the important things like homework.
Supporting Source:
I could use this article in my paper and plan to because it talks about the aspects of the internet that my generation is having trouble with.
Argumentative Source:
I would probably argue that she didn’t use enough facts.
