Responsibility!

This may come off sounding a bit arrogant... but this is my blog and frankly I'll say what I want. I don't think I'm the smartest, most driven, or the best person around. I do, however, honor my responsibilities. 

I go to my classes, take my tests, write my papers, but mainly I show up for work! Everyone complains about having to work! I am the number one of complaining. I may say I don't wanna be there, I can't sand the people I work with, I'm tired, I have better things to do. All of those things may be true, but I NEVER call off work!!!! I never say I'm sick when I'm not, and the only time I ask someone to cover my shift is if something comes up last minute, or if I have a once in a life time opportunity ahead of me. (Like meeting Adore Delano!) 

So basically where I'm going with this is, why is it so hard to keep up with responsibilities?? Why do people put themselves first. I understand we have to look out for ourselves, but the best people out there don't get where thy are because they would rather get drunk than show up for work. 

I'm not attempting to call anyone out. I just have a hard time understanding why people think putting off their responsibilities looks good... They have to know people will begin to think less of them. If you constantly give up work shifts and don't do what you need to make money and stay afloat I can't imagine anyone would want to help you as you begin to sink... If you don't care about yourself when you have the opportunity to stay above water why should anyone care when you are smothered by your own priorities.  

This leads me into a basic concept, choices. We all have choices, they can range from small choices like what to have to drink, or large choices like where to live. We have the opportunity to wish for things, or we can stand up and DO IT! 

You have the choice to either show up and do what you need to do, or you can call in to say your sick and spend the money you could have made at work on alcohol. 

I have too much time in my life to make bad choices, I chose to go to college, go to my classes, show up to my job to make money to pay for what I need and what I want. Don't get me wrong... I AM SUPER LAZY, but I am also super responsible! 

I feel like people don't understand how it looks when they let their responisbilites go in order to have a good time for the moment... In the end it WILL catch up with them!
