Too Busy for TV

IT’S TEE SHIRT TIME!
Yes! I have watched the reality show, Jersey Shore. Honestly, I think this show is ridiculously point less. The characters on the show are a bunch of females and males that drink alcohol and go out to the clubs. It is a show about young people’s life. How they can work out and chill at their house. Then, wait for the evening get all nice and clean and then take off to a club. When they arrive, they have some drinks get into a fight or two, meet some guys or girls. Eventually, take them home and have fun and pleasure. After, they call for a taxi for who ever they took home so that the person can leave right away. That is basically the whole show. Yet people, including me, sit about half an hour to an hour watching this show. Not only that, we the audience, have made these people famous and rich. Or there are novelas! When I was younger I would watch about three or four hours of novelas. Now that I remember they were all about love, hate, and drama. My mother, sister and I would sit in the living room to watch all three novelas, and then when my dad would arrive he would tell us to change the channel because there was no point on watching those shows. Now I realize he was right. I do not believe I retained any valuable information from the novelas. Or maybe one, to not trust your friends with your boyfriend! hahaha It is unfortunate that people waist their time watching shows that do not teach valuable information that can be used as a reference for the future. Yet, there are shows that expand your mind such as the history channel or discovery channel.
 Fortunately, I do not have the time to have a favorite reality show that I can say I follow non-stop. I have a job that requires my evening hours, from five to eleven pm. That was my schedule for about three years, my availability was open seven days a week, and most of the time I was schedule during the night shift. So with that being said, I did not have time to watch television. Now, I have another day time job and I do have my evenings open but I still do not have a favorite reality show. I have been really busy trying to handle two different jobs and two classes. So even if I do have time to watch television, I make a smarter decision and use my time wisely and I spend my time working on my homework, or even better, resting.

  3. It reminds me of my mother and I watching our Chinese Soap Operas too when I was younger. I now watch inspirational and educational shows when I can as well. It's Awesome that you are using your time wisely!

  5. I remember those days when I would sit with my mom and watch the novelas. I even remember when All My Children first started (that's how old I am)and it still is a bunch of drama. As for you and your busy schedule, you will definitely go far. Good Girl!
