Excessive RAM usage?

Okay so I just noticed this problem. I have 8 gigs of RAM and it says i'm using over half of my ram when i'm only using 700 mb's. This is really strange. Is it normal? Help would be much appreciated.

That 700MB is just from whichever app that row is for. Your second screenshot shows the actual overall RAM usage.
