Was EveryBody Skinny in the 70's???


Today I saw one of those old movies from the 70's and it starred Pam Grier. Her shape was soo nice in that movie, and so was everybody else's. When I look at old pictures of my parents in their teenage years, they look skinny too. The only show from the 70's I can think of that had big people in it is Fat Albert and that's a cartoon!!! Everybody was skinny in the 70's. Why is it that my generation is soo dag on plump. Black, white, spanish, asian, and indians too!! I have been dieting and working out since as long as I could remember and I don't look like that.
Oh yeah, and there wasn't alot of dieting and exercising back in those days, so the skinnyness was all natural! That is soo not fair. I wonder if McDonalds was around in the 70's? Or maybe there wasn't alot of fast food at all. Whatever it was it's not fair....That's all I gotta say.
XOXOXOXO

Is College for me or am I just LAZY???


Ok so I am a freshman and an ex-business major at Morgan State University. Today I met with my advisor and made the decision to switch my major to Liberal Arts with a concentration in Economics. I had always felt that having a business major would be right since I want to own my own business someday. But now I realize that I need to take a different route because, I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!
I really do hate school right now and it's because it is sooo challenging. The workload is one thing, but my lack of drive is propelling me towards a miserable lifestyle for the rest of my life. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.And I wanna have a fun too. Work and hard are no longer going to be synonymous. Work and fun are going to be one and the same. Just keep praying for a sista though, cause I still gotta' make it through this semester:)
XOXOXOXOXO
