| | Seriously though, the walk up the hill to Sylvan is a good distance when you need some time to pace yourself. I think I'll still walk that way even when I don't live there anymore.
This semester has been my rockiest roller coaster ride yet. It's like I emerged from an apathetic slumber, and into a heart-clenching, mind-engulfing wave of an electric charge. Not just some transition from high school into college, but a pivotal lesson of change. I'm still feel the anesthesia left in me, but I know for sure I do feel now.
What is it that I have learned?
I suppose the first thing I'd want to share is that SLEEP IS IMPORTANT.
Trust me, I know what it's like to run on lack of sleep, and it's not pretty when you need to use brain power. It may sound stupid, but now I know that getting sleep is more important than finishing busy work and reading assigned chapters. Seriously, there are better ways to do things when you're not cognitively impaired.
That being said, I've come to realize something much more meaningful this semester. Whether you know or not, I have been seriously struggling with making meaning of life. I'm not suicidal—though you may want to watch out when I'm too overly emotional. I could never bring myself to waste this chance at life. I know that I have so many opportunities, so much to live for, that I should do something with this upper-hand –or "high position" as my best friend called it. Yet, I have been stuck in circles trying to find a reason to make life on this earth worthwhile. I couldn't.
This world is missing something. Can there be any other explanation for such human atrocities? This endless cycle of massacre, of greed, of pride?
I don't understand, and I've realize now that I may never understand exactly why people continue to act the way they do—even when they know what they do is wrong. I suppose that is my pride, broken.
I really appreciate what I have; all the friends that I have made, all the experiences I have gone through, and the knowledge and personality I have developed as a result of my past. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I can only hope that I will really shine, and show this world the beauty of life.
