SIGNIFICANT life-altering decision needs to be made...

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>regarding iPods...</p>

<p>I have a 30 gig iPod video. It's pretty sweet. Had it since June of 2006. I like it. I have about 1000 songs on it, so as you can tell I'm not obsessed with music. I have plenty of songs, yeah, but I'm not a music afficionado. </p>

<p>My grandma gave me a 8 gig iPod touch for my bday. It's kinda sick. Of course it has internet/apps and it's totally killer, and my phone doesn't have internet on it soo that's definitely a plus.</p>

<p>My sister lost her iPod on a plane. She has absolutely no portable music player. I have two...</p>

<p>Should I keep my old iPod and give her my new one? I mean it DOES have more songs/memory and I've had it since 2006 so it's been pretty reliable, but the new one is just so bomb dot com and it has flipping internet. I guess what I'm worried about is going to college and acquiring more than 2000 songs (which is what an 8 gig holds) and wanting my old one back. Perhaps I should give her my old iPod then?</p>

<p>What's a girl to do?</p>

<p>Sell both on eBay and get a nano for her and a secondhand 32GB iPod touch yourself.</p>

<p>This is your significant life altering decision? LOL.</p>

4

<p>yes. it’s a very grave matter.</p>

5

<p>Well technically every decision you make is life altering. Haven’t any of you guys read that one butterfly story by Ray Bradbury?</p>

6

<p>I am going to start using the phrase “the bomb dot com” That phrase is off the heazy</p>

<p>Sell both and either get yourself a 64gig (you would have to cough up some money yourself for this option) or a 32gig. </p>

<p>Don’t worry about your sister. She can buy a cheap, really cheap, system that is good and works. That’s not your problem. Over college you will easily get more than 8gig of music, so I suggest you get at least a 32gig version, the 64gig one would be the best option.</p>

<p>I have three iPods. I got one with my own $$$, then won the exact same model in an essay competition a few months later. Then when I got a Macbook I got a free iPod touch. </p>

<p>I only have like 300 songs on my iPod. </p>

<p>The funny thing is, when the teacher made us write the essays for the competition, I was like “Eh, I already have an iPod, whatever”, and some of the kids in my class wanted to win so badly because their parents wouldn’t let them get an iPod. Then it was notified that I won first place. Yeah, I am that good.</p>

<p>Oh, and I have to add, I have a brother and he wanted one of my iPods, and I didn’t want to give any of mine to him. I made the case that I earned each of my iPods, and I can’t be forced to give one to him just because he needed one more than me, because that’s like socialist. My parents felt bad for him and bought him a little nano.</p>

<p>You can’t have socialism unless it’s a large pool. Redistribution within two people is hardly socialist.</p>

11

<p>The story by Ray Bradbury is called “A Sound of Thunder.”</p>

12

<p>This reminds me of that two cows joke.</p>

<p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What? I have read that short story in class and I don’t see its relation to this thread.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s what socialism is like at the most basic level.</p>

<p>I had said in post #5:

in response to the flummoxed replies questioning why it was a “life altering decision”. HonorsCentuar gave the name of the short story I had mentioned above, presumably to those who did not know the story I was referring to.</p>
