Yes, the spam is definitely diminished. Awesome.
Well, it’s a gorgeous day outside! Nice, brisk wind and all that. The trees, I dunno, magically turned green all the sudden and flowers and grass are just popping up like… daisies… okay, bad joke, but you get my drift. The world is beautiful! I always manage to forget, over the winter, what spring is like, and how suddenly it just comes.
With spring comes enrollment for Fall classes and, if you are a freshman this fall and you’re deliberating, HURRY UP! Because, trust me, the classes you want will fill up fast. I mean, we’ve already had priority registration, so a lot of classes don’t have a ton of space.
Along with the oh, so wonderful springtime, comes the oh, so wonderful finals etc. and they’re coming up fast people! So hurry up and get stuff done in your classes because you don’t have a whole lot of time left! Twenty school days left to the end of the semester.
Another item I would like to add is congratulations to everyone who is graduating this spring. I mean, seriously, you all stuck with it and you’re getting your degree and that’s just fantastic! Congrats indeed and I hope your college expirience here at IWCC has been one of the bestest ever 
Now, you may wonder why my blog is entitled ‘why’. Actually, that’s a very good question. This blog is about the word ‘why’. See, I can’t say that this is a magic word or anything, but it is the word of common sense. And I only just realized it.
I was thinking about this because, even though I am seventeen years old yet, three very drunk guys came into my work and tried to convince me to get drunk with them after I got off. Well, it didn’t seem all that alluring to go to some dirty place all sneaky and get drunk on cheap vodka with a bunch of dudes I didn’t know. I dunno, just… warning signs… ya know? So I tried the whole, ‘i’m under the age of eighteen’ and it didn’t work. I tried, ‘I have plans’. didn’t work. Drunk guys are just completely incorrigable. But there is one thing that I think might have quelled them. A question. A simple word; why?
No doubt he would have come up with some weird reason, but I got to thinking about this question of ‘why’? I mean, most of the times I’ve done something stupid, afterwards I asked myself something along the lines of ‘why did I do that’? Because it doesn’t make sense later. But then I was thinking about what would have happened if I had asked myself beforehand, and wouldn’t have done whatever it was without a satisfactory answer.
When I’m gossiping about a co-worker, why? I certainly don’t want to because that’s lame and pathetic. But… I do it… so why? When I put off my homework that’s due tomorrow, why do I do it? And ‘why’ also helps me to solidify my ideas. Like, I love to write, but why? What is it that drives me? And once I think about that, I start to remember all the things that went into my making that decision.
Yes, why is certainly a useful word. It can get you out of sticky situations, because, all to often, I find myself doing things without thinking, and the tiny word ‘why’ reminds me to do just that. It also helps to ste a goal, or to remember your purpose behind a goal. Why. Yes, it is a powerful word. Use it wisely.
