So I just got home from a long a day on campus and I am smugly enjoying the sweetness and satisfaction of coming home to a cool, made bed. I am also feeling relatively inspired tonight. It's been a hectic and an eventful few weeks and I would like to express certain bumps on the road that I have encountered, and of course, the bright side of being a university student.
Scratch that.
It has been on my mind for the past few days that you'll only realize how much you were missing until you are put out to deal with the so-called "real world." Putting aside that I sincerely hate this term and I think it is completely redundant to address the world as being real because there's no such thing as a "fake world," unless the Chinese decide to set their hands on something of that sort or something similar...
So much blabbering, sorry.
Going back to the point.
Recently, I have been introduced to many new people, ideas and thoughts and to be quite honest, It was too overwhelming at first that I couldn't grasp what was going on. I was weary and emotionally lost. I even started doubting what I chose as my major and considered dropping out, in case it doesn't work. I fueled my pessimism and the fire ate me up. Any inch of hope was engulfed with "buts" and "I can'ts."
Until I started to revive my optimistic nature and realized the opportunity I was given. I found it ironic how I started to become something I genuinely hated: A pessimistic, whiny teenager. Then I was introduced to this whole new surface of acceptance, knowledge and learning. Truly, you can only benefit from something if you go the extra mile.
I am confidently not a believer of luck, but whatever this is, it is similar to what they describe the term to be.
