mmmm dollar menu

        Majority for my childhood was spent eating home cooked food. I didn’t come from a lot of money when I was younger so I was always stuck with home made food. Don’t get me wrong I love home cooked meals ,but the great taste of a Mcchicken with sweet and sour sauce is something that cant be made at home. On occasion my dad or step mom would come home with  with fast food but that was rare. I guess I can say when I was in high school that was when my fast food craze started. I was working at the time so I always had money in my pocket and I was way too lazy to cook for myself. And whenever my friends and I would go out and and all the food was put away at home, the drive throughs were always open. Fast food is so tempting for people my age, its cheap, it right there when you order it and it taste great. My health never really concerned me because I’m young , active and have a very fast metabolism.

        

        Recently ive been pretty bad with fast food. And it doesn’t help that I live down the street from a jack in the box. I try to eat home cooked meals as much as possible and leave the dollar menu as a last resort, but I always seem to go with that last resort. But when I go get fast food I try to keep it healthy as possible by getting plain chicken sandwhiches. Sometimes its really hard not to eat fast food when your on a budget,  because spending five dollars on the dollar menu can easliy get you full rather than spending ten dollars on groceries for dinner. But ive been meaning to cut down because I think my metabolism is starting to catch up with me. Im trying to pick up better habits and get over my cooking laziness as I like to call it. I would rather get on a healthy eating regiment now then have to get on one when im older and have health problems. High blood pressure runs in my family so I think I should get on the ball now and make better choices. Its going to be real hard for me since I live so close to a fast food place and its going to be real tempting on those nights when there isn’t to much to eat at home. But I figure if I just start out slow by cutting down instead of just stopping I should be fine. I figure I was only given one body, I got to take care of it.

         

back then, right now & a little bit of tomorrow

     They’re times when I wish I could back to days when I was a kid. When I didn’t have a care in the world but chasing ice cream trucks , playing ball at the park and causing  mischievous. My past is something I try holding on to, because I’ve had such good memories. Attending kamala elementary school would probably have to be one of the highlights of my childhood. That’s the place where I had my first kiss and made some of the best friends whom I’m still hang out with till this day. Most of my friends and I all attended the same jr.high so it was like kamala all over again, but instead of running around on the blacktop we were running around chasing girls and going to PAL dances. Man did those two years go by fast, by the time I knew it I was an incoming freshmen and that’s when ”growing up” started for me. More responsibility and knowing childhood is coming to an end was scary. But eventually I graduated and I must say graduating high school was one of the most exciting days of my life. 

   

  My present normally consist of going to school, working and hanging out with friends. I was lucky enough to only have class twice a week this semester. So when I’m not in school I’m either working or helping my dad around the house. But then when I do have down time I like to hang out at the house watching movies on Netflix or just hanging out with the boys. As for my present day I’m doing my best to stay focused on school because school is going to hopefully be the key to my success.

     

I don’t know what to really say about my future just yet. I have goals in mind that I would love to full fill and is going to take a lot of work in doing so. But what I’m sure of is that I definitely want to transfer out and graduate from Cal State Northridge, hopefully land a well paying job, get married and start a family. But as for now I’m just trying to stay motivated and focused on this semester.
