Teenager's dilemma

One dilemma that a teenager may face is choosing a career path. It may be difficult to choose the best one since there are so many options and since there is actually a lot involved in the action of choosing a career. A teenager may be biased because of the career that his/her parents chose or because there is some career that everybody is studying. Also, there are some teenagers that may choose a career because the school that offers it is popular or is commonly known as an easy school and they don’t want to face a difficult career. Another problem may be friends, who may drag the teenager to one school even though it may not be what they want.
What the student needs to keep in mind is his/her goals. Otherwise it will be easy to get lost. You also need to know that there is no way to be wrong. Life goes on and so the student will be and she /he may end up working in something that had nothing to do with their career.

Birthday cartoons!

A week ago it was my birthday. October 13. It also happened to be my 18th birthday. Well, the day before it I read a couple of webcomics (I'm a new fanatic of webcomics, by the way) that were about birthdays.
Both were pretty depressive and contributed to make me worry about being older. Even though people may think that having 18 is a good thing, I guess it is quite sad. You quit being a boy and have a lot of responsablities more.

So, here they are. The first one comes from a webcomic called A Softer World. The tone of this one is pretty sad, it is about sorrow, and sadness and death. But the style in which they are presented is indeed extremelly artistic.

A Softer World

I love the concept.

The second one is from the Perry Bible Fellowship. This one generally present little cute images and ends the strip in a horrible way, or the other way round, or entwines both of them. This one is an example:

Way creepier, isn't it?

Birthdays are not as good as they may seem at first sight. The 18th one is just especial because you can do legally a lot of stuff you weren't allowed to do before. Putting that aside, it sucks to be an adult.
