guilty as charged

Mum and practically every authoritative figure in my life has been urging me time and time again to keep abreast of current happenings around the globe, or at least in this nation. It's much easier said than done. I wish I had the discipline to sit down and spend just 20 mins everyday to read the paper or keep myself updated online. Although I still find news inexplicably boring, I know that as much I absolutely abhor the idea of allocating time to connect with today's occurrences, the need to equip myself with contemporary issues is becoming increasingly inescapable, now that I'm already in college. It's difficult when there are just so many guilty pleasures beckoning you to attend to them. Sigh.
