According to my laptop’s dictionary:

| Well, that hurts... |
I don’t want to be mean but my roomie is one heck of a bum. She quit her job just months ago just because she had a row with the people in her office...and that she wants to rest? She's quit her job for two consecutive times now and didn’t even last a year in both. I don’t know what’s going on with her or if she’s experiencing problems at home. When I ask whether she wants to apply to another job all she says is that “Yeah, I will. After a few months.” Now she's broke because she just bought a new laptop (care of her mom). She still asks money from her parents because as I have said, she doesn’t have a job to provide all her wants and needs... and she's got a WHOLE LOT OF WANTS and I find this quite annoying.
Okay, I know that I’m talking way ahead of myself. I’m just a student and I haven’t experienced working yet but I want to, though. I want to work already so that I can take my parents anywhere they want. I want to show them that all the money that they had spent on me was worth it. I don’t want to put all their hard work to waste. I want to make my parents proud and happy. I don’t want to be a bum. Yes, I haven’t experienced working but I’ve seen my parents work and I'm pretty sure they aren't bums. They try to finish a lot of things as much as they can so that they can earn enough money to provide for our needs. I know it’s wrong to compare my parents to my room mate since my room mate doesn’t have a family yet but still, by now she should at least try to plan out the things that she’ll be needing by that time that she gets her own family. In my opinion, I think that once you’re already capable of working, you shouldn’t ALWAYS ask for food allowance from your parents (well, maybe if you’re still kind of new to working), it's just not right. You should be the one treating them into restaurants and taking them somewhere else that they’ve always wanted to go, and even if you can't afford the most luxurious type of way to treat you parents, just taking them out for dinner at you family's favorite restaurant would easily put a smile on their faces. And I'm pretty sure it'll warm your heart.
Going back.
Now she’s here in our dorm, lying on her bed and sleeping again. For Pete’s sake, how does one sleep for more than 10 hours a day? That’s too much. More than 8 hours of sleep is not even healthy for a normal person. I get headaches and migraines whenever I sleep for more than 7 hours. I can’t just lie down all day and do nothing but scroll my way down to the very last of my Facebook new feed or my Twitter timeline. That would suck big time, man. It’s such a waste of life.
I for one am not planning to be a bum and even if I wanted to, I think I’d be having a hard time being one. I'd rather be the one who works and makes a change than to be someone who does not work and just waits for the change to happen.
