Before I get to the point, I’m going to complain about how horrible the weather has been for the past two days. Things were looking up on Monday: It wasn’t so cold out, and it felt like spring was starting to slowly come to Columbus. Then, all of a sudden, the rain came, and that all changed. This past Wednesday was probably my worst day of this quarter. Wednesday’s are bad enough with three classes and a Lab at 4:30. Plus it was Ash Wednesday, and being a catholic, I had to go to Mass. What this meant was that I was out in the rain over a period of twelve hours. It was terrible.
Today’s topic is one I’ve wondered about from time to time. How would things be for me if I was born twenty years earlier, or even farther back than that? If I could choose the period, I would probably choose the eighties. Why? Because I would like to know how life was when my parents were younger. I’m sure everyone has heard their parents complain about ”children of this age”, and how unruly we all are. I’m pretty sure our parents weren’t angels when they were younger. I would love to know exactly how life was then, and what kind of things they did for fun.
I guess I really want to live in that time so I could understand my parents more. I know that they mean well for me most of the time, but they can come across as the exact opposite. If I experienced what they experienced, maybe I would be in a better position to accept some of the decisions they make or their reactions to situations.
The 80's would be a really cool time period to live in.
ReplyDeleteThat's good idea, to live in the 80s. I would like to experience that time, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the last line. I think it would be a lot easier for us to understand if we experienced what they have in their time.
