Dealing with my Id
As school gets more tiring and harder, I tend to find myself dealing with Freud's theory of the Id, the Ego and the Super Ego. The Id is the selfish, childish part of your mind that is only concerned with instant gratification. The Super Ego is all about what is the right thing, and knows the difference between right and wrong. The Ego is the mediator between the Id and Super Ego, trying to create a balance. Just this week we had to jump back into schoolwork, sports and not a lot of sleep. This is normally our regular schedule around the school year, but after having two long weeks filled with sleep, tv, food and friends, it feels weird to be back at school. Since we have been back at school I feel my Id taking over. I come home and all I want to do is lay around and watch tv, and this is usually what ends up happening. My Id at first feels like my best friend, that is until its late and night and Im doing homework. For example today I did not have too much homework so my Id came to play and I decided to just watch some T.V. for a few hours. Every once in a while I felt my super ego creeping into my head and almost every time it seems as if my Id just kicked my super ego out. I think after a while my Ego started to realize what was going on and saw that I needed more of a balance and so in comes the Super Ego kicking me off the couch to come write this blog. Now I am sitting in my room doing homework that I wish I had done earlier. I also dealt with the Id after New Years. My new year's resolution was to be in better shape. I started out well and my super ego was taking over, that is until school started. Lately i have been tired and not in the mood to go to the gym or eat healthy. I always have plans to go to the gym, but I always end up ditching for some lame excuse. And now I wish I had gone. The fact of the matter is that the Id always seems like your best friend at the time, giving you exactly what you want, but when the Super Ego comes in it feels as though the Id stabbed you in the back.
