Blues

In my day to day life there aren't too many things that make me blue. Sure there are days that I'd rather not go to class or I'd like to call in to work but over all I have a rather happy life. The things that tend to make me blue are that many of my friends don't get to experience the same kind of care free life that I live while at college. Many of my friends have joined the Marines since graduation and their day to day lives are drastically different from mine. A few of them are currently deployed in Iraq and one of my best friends is being sent next month. It gives me the blues that many of my friends felt like they had to join the Marines because they had no other choices. Many of them came from unstable families that couldn't help them attend college, and some of them joined just to get out of their current situations. I guess that it gives me the blues that the people I care so much about haven't had the same fortune that I have and that they risk their lives everyday while I live my life rather care free. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.
