Math??? In Real Life???

So today I was thinking about math. Kinda weird since I hate math! Even though I did ace my first math class just recently in college, it is still a subject I would rather avoid like the plague. But anyways, I was thinking about functions, matrices, square roots...and how every math teacher explained that math can be related to any every day activity in life. WHAT?!?! When am I ever going to use a matrix in real life??? Definitely not while I'm balancing my check book or paying my phone bill. "Hah!" I thought, "you (my math professors) are all wrong." But as I thought about it more, they are kind of right. To get to the point, I have come to the conclusion that people are like algebra (I think). There are two types...variables and constants.

Here is my definitions:

First, there are constants. They are what they are and nothing is going to change them (unless you take the square root and...just kidding). But really, if you look at a constant, you'll see someone that is like a sine wave. Up and down, up and down...pretty predictable, unless you throw another constant or variable into the mix. So...pretty stable. I believe these are the folks that pay their phone bills on time, come to a complete stop at a stop sign, and are conservative Republicans...hahaha. Just kidding. I think these are the folks that believe in the slow and steady theory and even though it may take a long time, they end up on top.

Someone that's a variable can be anything they want to be. They can do whatever they want, go wherever they want...pretty much whatever. These are the people you usually see on social website pictures having parties, doing shots or doing something exciting that you aren't doing. It's a lifestyle often emulated in movies such as Up In The Air (good movie by the way). It can be fun being a variable and it may well just work for many people. However, I believe that it can go either way. You can either come out on top or you can come out down and out...the outcome varies.

I'm not saying either way is wrong or right...it was just a conclusion that I came to today. I believe I'm a constant. What are you?
