I sat and stared at the TV. Quite plainly, I was bored. The thing is when you have a boyfriend you tend to shut everyone else out, so in the end you’re by yourself. There I was, by myself. Taylor, school and work flooded my brain. All three of them frustrated me. People don’t seem to realize how much school really runs our lives. Then the opposite sex and work runs the rest of it. Don’t you hate me being right all the time? I know, I hate it too. I lived in Tulsa up until I was 1, all through high school. I now live in California where I go to college here. I have another month till graduation. Then after graduation I’m pretty much a lost cause. So anyway, I was watching TV in slight depression, dwelling on the flaws of my life. Let me tell you, I do that quite well. My partner in crime walked though the door.
"Hey."
"Shonna, how come I don’t have a life?" I asked in hopes for a valid answer.
"Because you let Taylor run it and because you sit on your rump and watch TV."
"I do not," I said in defiance, turning off the TV.
"Then how come what you’re doing depends on what he’s doing and when he’s doing something you’re watching TV?"
"Well that’s because of this job barrier thing" Shonna set her stuff down and sat in one of the recliner chairs.
"I think you need to go on a vacation, that’s what I think." – Shonna
"But what about Taylor?"
"What about him? You need to learn to live life on your own." – Shonna
"I can live on my own and I’m going to go on this vacation to prove it to you."
