Not Related to Music ... Just Wanted to Blog

So I've got a roommate here at NTU. Every time she comes back to the room, I see her playing on her phone for hours and hours. Actually that's an under-exaggeration, she's on her phone for literally half a day, not moving, not working, just there reading something on her phone or playing a game.

I just think to myself. Wow that is a lot of time wasted, doing nothing, not getting any closer to accomplishing any goals. Perhaps its because she doesn't have any. 

This is a sad way to live a life. I always think to myself. She's in a top-university on a full-ride scholarship. Why doesn't she want to take advantage of that...

Then I think of my sister. She spends no less time on her phone than my roommate does. When I was home, just a few weeks ago, that was all she did despite my best efforts to find an activity to do with her. I thought to myself 'Wow is it really that hard to find an activity we can enjoy doing together? '. I don't want my best friend/sister to waste her life... like my roommate does. It would be a waste of so much potential. 

I just have to learn how to make "Fonty's development" a priority.

Here's a list of things we can do together...

1. 2-person board games

6. Taking a badminton class together.

7. Fonty wants to join band.

8. Tell parents to stop being so obsessed with her grade. Give them proof that grades don't matter.
9. Send Fonty to a camp where she can interact with more kids.
