Life Stage 3 Reflection

Marriage



I always heard that wedding are expensive but, holy moly guacamole, I didn't know they were this expensive. I'll probably just end up going to the courthouse with a few witnesses from the local drugstore and get married right there. If she really loves me I won't have to spend tens of thousands just to please her, right?

Family



This is something that I have never really wanted, the thought of having to change diapers and host disney princess birthday parties always made me queasy. Nut after looking at houses I started to imagine me and my son casually watching a movie on a friday night and suddenly I was happy with the idea.

Credit & Debt

Most of this I already knew because my mom shows me her bills whenever I ask her why I cant buy the latest blu-ray release. But I did learn a little bit about how different credit card companies try and scam you into using there card to get into debt.

Recommendation and Commendation

I think that these blog assignments were fine for the kind of people in the Junior class who want a family and who want to get married and who want to acquire tons of debt. But for those of us who would rather not be the stereotypical suburban family from a disney channel movie, its a bit unnecessary. I learned a lot about honeymooning in Hawaii, but lets face it, Im never going to honeymoon in Hawaii so all the hours I spent trying to perfect that blog assignment were just thrown away. I was excited to start to learn about actual life skills instead of useless history lessons, which I love, but you know what I mean. The things we are learning feel way too over-saturated with unnecessary lessons. I don't know, at this point i'm just ranting about iPoly in general because I'm tired, and I'm stressed and I have to drive 2 hours round trip to pick up my grandma after I finish this sentence! Please just lighten the work-load, Im 16, im supposed to be having fun and going on dates, but instead I'm worrying about things 10 years in the future.
