A couple weeks ago I posted and invited everyone to share what they do in a typical day.
Many people who replied commented that they have boring, or not exciting or not interesting lives.
That really suprised me, because I have enjoyed very much reading about others' lives, and in no way did I think anyone led a boring or uneventful life.
So, I wanted to put out the question: if you think your life is boring, what do you think the average unboring person in this planet does each day?
What do 'unboring' people do, that you do differently?
What do you think is "typical" for a person in your situation (if you're a great grandparent living in a luxury retirement community, your "typical" is a lot different than a person who's a single parent working for a living, or someone fresh out of college doing the internship of their dreams)?
I know for me, I don't believe I have a boring life, yet I feel my lifestyle is vastly different than a typical nineteen year old college student.
I think a typical nineteen year old college student runs up enormous phone bills on their cellular phone, parties on the weekends, skips class occasionally to go shopping, likes beer, likes being sexy and flirty, has worn something they dislike because they think it makes them look cool/sexy/"in"/whatever. I think a typical nineteen year old can spend up to two hours easily doing hair/makeup, runs slightly late to everything, doesn't think twice about inconvienciencing other people, forgets things, and has a complete aversion to anything 'gross'. I think a typical nineteen year old would get into a car accident, and become slightly more hysterical than usual, and need some assistance calming down. I think a typical nineteen year old would think that they can sweet talk their way out of a lot of things, and would prefer to use sweet talking instead of accepting responsibility and the resulting consequences. I think a typical nineteen year old falls in (and out of) love with guys based solely on their looks, suaveness, and dexterity.
I feel very atypical compared to what I view the "norm" for someone in my age in life...
Anyone else feel the same?
