“My philosophy is: if you can’t have fun, there’s no sense in doing it.” Paul Walker
I’m making this post for three reasons. One, because I want to increase the number of posts I make a month until I’m doing about two a week, and I want every month of my archives to have at least one more post than the month before it until I reach that goal. Two: because this is the end of the last week of my Sophomore semester of college. and Three: It’s been three months since I started this blog! Anniversary celebration! *cheers*
Time really flies for me. When I started college in the Fall of 2013 I had no idea what to expect. Like so many others, I was nervous but also somewhat excited. It was going to be a new experience for me and I just hoped I wouldn’t die. I was definitely not expecting the speed at which the years would pass by. Man, I feel old just writing about this.
Every semester is far shorter than any of my school periods were in high school. We get a whole month for winter break, while most schools I know of are lucky to get a week. Semesters begin after all other schools do, and we get out earlier too. Plus I only have to go to campus two or three days a week, making it far easier to find time to study and work. It’s really nice, but also fairly scary.
It’s scary because I almost feel like my life is passing me by way too quickly. When I’m waiting for something that I don’t want to happen, it seems like it happens way faster than it should. That’s my take on waiting on the two days I have to go to campus every week. It’s not that I hate going to school, I’d just rather not have to at all. I’m lazy, and getting up at 7 AM on a regular basis doesn’t do it for me. And yes, I’m well aware primary schools have it way worse. Another perk of college. But because of how speedily the days pass, the semesters are over before I feel like I’ve even done anything of note, and before I know it the next one has started again. And so on, for two years. I hardly feel like I’ve accomplished anything over the past two years. Sure, I’ve learned quite a bit from my classes (some far more than others), but it’s all so rushed I’m not quite satisfied when it’s all over. And I mean to change that.
How, I’m not quite sure, but I’m going to figure it out. I’d like to study abroad if I get the chance, or maybe join some student organizations. Besides finding a good career from all this, I want to have a lot of fun before it’s all over. I want to look back on my college days fondly instead of hardly being able to remember them at all. Finding out how is all part of the fun. And I’m all about having fun.
Here’s to my Junior semesters!
