Now that I’m nearly half way through my junior year, it is strange to look back and realize how much I’ve matured over two short years. At this point, I am into my major classes and I’ve already had an amazing internship. I have my moments when I feel like I can take on anything…
…but those moments are fleeting. I get into my moods when I want to lie in bed and accomplish nothing. The beautiful part is, it’s totally acceptable. I may have to procrastinate down the road, but nothing tragic will result from my laziness.
There’s just something beautiful about college, because you have a lot freedom, but you can also get away with a lot because you’re still young. The pressure from school, work, and other obligations can feel really over whelming- there’s no denying that. It is important to recognize how fun this part of our lives is, and though it does get redundant when “real” adults tell you this is the best time of your life, we really should appreciate it and enjoy it. Those comments can be pressure in itself; how am I supposed to have the best time of my life, am I doing it correctly? Instead of worrying I’ve tried to be more spontaneous, because one day I won’t be able to spend all the money I earn just on myself.
With that said, go out on a Tuesday because you got an A on a tough exam, or go to that music festival, because this is the best time to do it. You’re never to old to feel young and free, but you never know when you’ll get another chance to be as spotaneous as you can be now. Go out and have fun!
