Spending Article

I am a spender. It is really hard for me to save my money, I just have so many ideas to spend it on and I can't save it. Whether it is a candy bar, a new basketball, going to a movie, or getting DQ, I just can't save money. I would agree and disagree with the ideas presented in the article. I agree that people need to be more saving and less for the immediate spending satisfaction, but not all the time. Sometimes it's good to just go buy something and enjoy it. Not everything needs to be based for the future. However, I found the statistic on SAT results interesting. While I am a spender, if I were offered to have 100,000 dollars in four years and go to a college chosen for me, or go to a college of my choice, I would go to the college chosen for me and take the 100,000 dollars four years later. I think our generation is very into the here and now, including myself. I am not saving for college or for any future plans. When I have money, I spend it. For example, if I had 2,000 dollars that I raised to spend on a car or put towards an account for college benefit, I would buy the car. However, some of our generation is on the extreme of spending, whenever, where ever, with whoever on whatever. We are definitely a spending generation.

Tribes

I belong to a lot of tribes. I belong to the family and friend lover tribe. The buckeye tribe and wildcat nation. The sports tribe. The basketball, softball, and volleyball player tribe. The creative and positive people tribe. The teenage girl tribe. The tribe of people who love Nike Shocks. The athletic tribe. The intelligent tribe. The hard working tribe. The Lutheran tribe. The tribe of people who love Myrtle Beach. The tribe of people who would eat out everyday if they could. The Christmas tribe, and the Christmas music tribe. The Katy Perry fan club tribe. The Phineas and Ferb tribe. The Disney Channel tribe. The school-kid tribe. The swimming tribe. The summer tribe. The sun tribe. The Beach tribe. 

Extrovert vs. Introvert

I think I am definitely an extrovert. My reasoning behind this is, I am not shy at all, I highly enjoy social surroundings, I have a lot of friends and I am not afraid to say my opinion. If I had the choice to stay at home and watch movies all night with a couple of my friends, or go somewhere with a big group of friends, it would be a no brainer to me. I would rather go out somewhere, I just love social places. I think it would be bad if everyone in the world was either an introvert or an extrovert because then we would have no diversity, and that would be a boring world. I think both of categories have it easier at certain times. If an extrovert says something that other people disagree with, then they have it harder. However, an introvert could be made fun of for never talking, never going places or things like that. I would prefer my friends to be extrovert because it just makes things more fun when people are constantly talking and saying funny things and just having fun. Most of my friends are pretty outgoing or extrovert and I like that. However, I still have friends that are introvert and it is also fun to hang out with them, I would just prefer to be in a crowd of extroverts. It would be better if teachers were extroverts because they need to be entertaining, outgoing, funny, nice, and just fun to get kids to really be into what they are saying. If you are a teacher that doesn't say much or talk much, it would be hard to do a good job and your students wouldn't be that into what your teaching about. I don't think introversion or extroversion really matters that much. People are who they are, and people need to learn to accept them for who they are.
