20-something

So now that I feel that I'm officially a 20-something who feels lost in life, it seems only fair that I need a blog.

Today, of course, I'm wondering if there is such things as common values. Maybe kids today don't grow up learning lessons, like don't steal, don't cheat, eat your veggies. The most shocking part of college, to this day, is the lack of kindess exhibited in most people.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect for a world of sunshine and rainbows. But when you get the feeling someone's just trying to sabotage your innocently hopeful day, I must wonder why. I like to think I'm a nice girl. I smile at people, I say hello, pick up things people have dropped. Why does it seem like an open invitation to get walked all over?

What gets me most are the small things. You don't like my research, but is that an invite for insult?

Sometimes I just wish I got the respect I feel like I just might deserve.

Right?
