Life as a student
Enjoying his coffee; Dec. 6th 2022
Sometimes you just have to see the little things.
More often than not I find myself not being entirely aware of the positions I find myself in. One thing in particular that has been the subject of much thought for me lately has been realizing that even as I come to my final semester of college, my younger years are not yet over.
I find myself sitting and stressing over getting older. I don’t know what I want to do, but as I’ve grown I have also realized that hardly anybody else knows what they’re doing either. Most of us seem to allow the story of our lives to play out in front of us rather than take control of it ourselves. I don’t want to do that and I don’t believe others want to either.
In realizing these things I began to steer myself in the direction of what I want.
Waiting on the corner; Dec. 6th 2022
All this being said, this semester was kind of a hard reset for me, I’ve had to find what things genuinely bring me joy and fulfillment. I lost some good habits and gained some not so good ones coming through college, but I’m certain that I can do the things I believe necessary. This final semester is looking to be what I’ve always looked for.
So I jumped headfirst into what I feel my passions could become.
I love hearing stories, even more-so I love telling them to other people. I thought all this while I was sitting in my apartment, but one important thought finally made it’s way to my mind.
What better stories to tell than my own? Why not take those adventures I’ve always watched with such desire and make them my own?
That is my intention. So, reader, thank you for coming. I can’t wait for the adventures I’m going to bring you on one day.
REFLECTION
As I read back on my blog post, I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the mindset I had during that time. It's interesting to see how far I've come since then, yet at the same time, some of the struggles I faced are still very present in my life.
The idea of getting older and not having everything figured out is still something that weighs heavily on me. However, reading my own words reminds me that it's okay to not have everything together, and that we all have our own paths to take.
Reflecting on my final semester of college, I remember how much of a turning point it was for me. It was a time where I had to take a step back and reevaluate what truly made me happy and fulfilled.
I'm proud of myself for taking the leap into pursuing my passions, and even more so for realizing that my own experiences and adventures can make for some of the best stories to share with others.
As I continue on my journey, I hope to never lose sight of the little things in life and the importance of taking control of my own story. And who knows, maybe one day I'll have some new adventures to share with my readers.
