So, some of you probably know that I've been a college student for the past four months. It has been nothing short of hard and exciting -- all at the same time. Before I started college, I've been given warnings by my friends about the horror that awaited me.
I didn't believe them when they sent me that picture above. I thought, "Really? Is it really that bad? I mean, c'mon, bros. Don't exaggerate, here."
But then, I realize by the first week that it's like this:
Which clubs do I join? Where should I work at? Which classes should I take? Who should I befriend?
(Those who have started college, you know what I mean.) The first couple of weeks of school is insanely overwhelming! There seem to be just thousands of opportunity laid out in front of you and you just have to choose. Be careful, though, because your choice affects your life for the next five months of your life. I made my choice and that automatically alternates me between being a part of the Nerd and the Zombies (I'm a Zombie about 70% of the time).
Sadly, this is not an exaggeration. Consider it a warning.
Cray.
Also, I've recently mapped out my life for the next year and it is official, ladies and gents. I will become a permanent resident of both the Nerd world and the Zombie world. So, to those who intend to survive the apocalypse in December 20, 2012: please don't shoot me in the head.
College may sound oh so terrible based on what I've said up until now, but it definitely has aspects that you cannot get anywhere else. The one thing I love about college is that I could freely run towards the direction that I'd like without having to worry about peer judgment or even slowing down for others.
It's my life. I'm in control.
Although I'm not the best driver in the world ("Do NOT go anywhere near the steering wheel, Sash," is what my friends would say), I'm confident enough that if I do so fail, even though I have no means of any safety in a form of a net or even a string beneath me, I'll be okay. And even though it's crazy busy and exhausting, I'm excited because I know that with every second I spend attempting to pay attention to some professor's lecture, I'm getting closer and closer to my dream. So to you who are starting college: be eager. Happy Easter.
I hope you guys are having a blast so far in every aspect of your life. If not, make it happen, folks. Go out there and have a blast. While you do that, I'm going to chase my dream with ardour -- starting with these final projects and papers I have coming up.
