We are in the homestretch here on Western's campus. Only 2 weeks left and even less for some! It is so hard for me to comprehend that the first year is practically over...whenever I thought of college when I was young, I always had this idea of college as being something grand and amazing-don't get me wrong ..it is-but at the same time college is just life. When I talk to people about college and all the experiences I've had here, people always tell me that college was probably the best part of their lives.
Now that I think about it...being in college for another couple more years doesn't actually sound too bad. But then again, just yesterday I was thinking of taking time off (or quitting) for a little while to 'discover' myself....but I can't just put a hold on life to figure out who I am...because it is those experiences in life that help me figure out my identity. Also, my identity is something which changes everyday....it is effected by each day's new experiences.
So anyway, moving on- I guess what I'm trying to say is that life is just life...just goe with the flow and live. Have fun! do what makes you happy- don't get too caught up in making other people, family members, friends, enemies happy. Ultimatley, you are the one responsible for your life and your own happiness....there are so many people who go through life complaining about not having a fulfilled life, about being unhappy etc....yet they do absolutely nothing about it....don't allow yourself to do that- find something you are passionate about and make it a part of your life. Let your life happen, let your life live.
