Teachers berate me on my work.
Bosses push me to do more.
Friends remind me to take chances.
Family beg me to come home.
Mentors ask me to take all the opportunities available to me.
Advisors push me to go further.
Why can't I just live my last semester the way I always have? Doing what I want to do?
The truth is, what I want to do is relax, but the question remains how? Especially when--
I have grad school applications, a job search to start, schoolwork, work, more work, and the list goes on and on. But this isn't me complaining I legitimately love everything that I am doing and part of the time doing all my work is relaxing for me.
So why is it that people keep telling me to do what they want me to do? Because apparently to them I am suppose to be living the "college life" or their definition of what the "college life" is-- but I what they don't understand is that I decided 3 years ago to live mine...
This is my college, my career, my time, and my work. This is why I inundate myself with work, I love what I am doing, where I am, and where I am going. So, why not be busy, insanely busy?-- it's fun...at least for me.
So I guess my point is-- I don't have a lot of time here, but I plan on living it the way I want to. And in the perspective of the time I have let in college this is only step one.
I have so many left to go.
And in this step I am going to do all those things:
My work.
My homework.
Take chances.
Apply to Grad School.
Find even more Opportunities.
And go home...after I have graduated..maybe.
and-- live the "college life"
Just look at all the good things time can bring...
