18

So my 18th birthday was "rad" for lack of a better word. I got alot of speechs telling me how being an adult sucks and how much responcibility I now have on my shoulders. I got alot of money, which was surprising. I assumed because I'm 18 now I get nothing. My aunt Stayce took me to get my first tattoo SWEET. I got music notes behind my ear. It surprisingly didn't hurt at all. It was a very numb and vibrating feelings. Afterward it was a little sore but it hasn't hurt at all, very relieving. My sister Elissa, however got me the coolest present I think that any 18 year old could ever get. I got a back full of candy and puzzles. In the card her boyfriend, who I have always considered my brother, wrote "vote democrat", haha.

Unemployment

When the teacher assigned this blog I was worried. I had no idea about what it was or why everyone seemed to know about it and I didn't. After asking around and getting many different opinions, I was left to figure out how I feel about it. I sort of have mixed feelings in regards to this, but I tend to lean toward being against extending unemployment. While I feel that people that have lost their jobs and need the money to support themselves and their families, I also feel that they may get to comfortable and lazy. I know that if someone was giving me money every month, I wouldn't be in a hurry to look for a job. I think if people are faced with the fact the money isn't going to be coming for long, that it will urge them to hurry and find a job. I think that extending the unemployment is wrong in a way because it may be making people feel content without working, and in the United States, that is something that should be discouraged due to the fact that it seems to be a growing problem.
