Remember when you were young and your parents told you that most of the people you were best friends in high school would disappear from your life after high school? Remember not believing them? Mhmm. Now, do you remember when almost all those people disappeared? I do. I remember thinking I was so close with some people, and then when graduation came and I no longer saw them every day, things just started to fade. Then I made new friends in college and things seemed to be different. But ultimately, it was just the same.
Archive for the “School” CategoryWith the beginning of the Fall semester this year I tailored down my schedule to only one class for multiple reasons, one of the main ones being that I felt it would decrease my stress. To a certain extent it’s working, but I fear that it’s at the sake of my sanity. At the beginning of every class my professor comes in and puts up a quote on the projector and has the whole class read it aloud. It’s something about finding a career by finding yourself, blah blah blah. I feel like I’m in elementary school reciting the pledge of allegiance every day, or in an alcoholics anonymous meeting repeating the same thing every week but secretly never meaning it. I sat down last night to write my first paper for my Master’s level management course, and it didn’t take me as long as I thought it would. I wasn’t looking forward to doing the paper, but once I actually sat down and did the small amount of research necessary to write an informed essay, I found that the material was worth reading and the amount of self-evaluation needed to finish the paper off was enlightening. But it was only after I finished spending an hour or so on this paper that I realized I had never put this kind of relaxed effort into high school. And I couldn’t help but realize…what was I thinking? |
