Inconsiderate fisherman

Fishing has been my most enjoyable hobby since I was a kid. I tend to find pleasure and relaxation from being on the lake searching for the next bite. Although I thoroughly enjoy this hobby, a wonderful day on the lake can be ruined by an uncourteous angler. In the sport of fishing today, the popularity of bass fishing has increased tremendously,which in turn, increases the number of anglers by a substantial margin. As a result, boat traffic has become more crowded on the lakes and rivers. Needless to say, with the traffic becoming more intense, reckless boat drivers have become more prevalent. I understand that catching fish is an adrenaline rushing experience, however no fish is worth risking one's life to catch. So the next time you are on the lake trying to catch a fish, remember not only to look out for yourself, but for the other person as well.

Profile

As we go through life, we meet different people with various types of personalities. Everybody is unique in their own way; we all have different habits, hobbies, and lifestyles in which we choose to live. The fact that no individual is the same makes life exciting to life; if we all had the same personality, life would be dull. Today I am writing a profile about a man named Eric Ferrin to share with you what I have learned about him.

Eric was born in Portland, Oregon in the early 1990's. He moved to Montgomery when he was 8 and has resided there since. His family consists of both parents, as well as a younger and older sister at the ages of twenty-one and seventeen. Eric attended Macon East High School, and graduated with the class of 2010. Some of his hobbies include video games, football, and tennis. Eric also enjoys disc golf at the course here on the campus of Auburn University at Montgomery. His friends became involved in the sport and invited Eric to join.

During the summer, Eric works at the local Deer Creek neighborhood pool, however that is only a temporary job for the summer. When he is not working as a lifeguard, Eric works at Pier 1 Imports. His duties there consist of assisting the customers with locating items and answering questions, unloading freight from the merchandise truck.

I used to think..

When I was younger, I thought that money was the key to happiness. The more nice possessions I had, the happier I was. As I grew and matured, I realized that money only buys enjoyment for a short period of time. Although money is important, money is not everything; there are things that money cannot by, which results in dissatisfaction. I find happiness in other things rather than spending a piece of paper. Even though I feel that spending money does not create satisfaction, It gives me piece of mind when I am financially stable. The point I am trying to clarify is there is more to life than having mansions and being completely wealthy.

Homework

Homework has never been an idea of "fun" to me, however I always seemed to find ways to complete my tasks. Procrastination has not been a regular occurrence in my life due to the fact I always used my time wisely. I strive to live by the quote "Do not put off for tomorrow, what you could get done today." My parents seemed to enjoy this because of the less amount of stress they had to bear. My lack of procrastination has significantly impacted the way I handle my assignments and tasks today. I believe homework is a great tool that allows children and teenagers alike, the ability to manage their timed assignments. The more practice one has with a subject, the more knowledge is obtained by the student.

the day i became frustrated with a rather boisterous individual in the computer lab

Today while sitting in the library (composing blogs), a certain individual thought it necessary to use profane vulgar language which i did not appreciate the least bit. The young man proceeded to use his cell phone through the entire time that he spent on the computer. I assume he was in a very intense heated conversation with one of his parents, rather this is true or not i am indifferent. Simply the fact that he chose to ignore all signs asking students to refrain from using all forms of telecommunication devices in the lab, made me somewhat annoyed. From now on i will come prepared to face such an abnormal situation, i will bring earphones; thus eliminating all background noise allowing me to study in peace.

Library fun

The term "library" sounds dull and uninviting to me. When someone speaks the word "library", my thought process switches to study mode, for that's where most of my studying takes place. I feel forced to study, therefore I do not enjoy it. In order for me to study, I must place myself in a quiet room with minimal distractions. Sometimes I want to believe that I have an extreme case of Attention Deficit Disorder due to the fact the slightest thing distracts me from studying. The library offers me a place where I can accomplish my studying. Attending the library can become dull and tedious, however I accomplish much more when I study there in peace and quiet.
