Shazam and abracadabra!
so i have been just in a constant state of internal reflection and thinking these past couple days. that coupled with lots of reading makes me think i am more intellectual and such. who knows. but i have come to a lot of conclusions about life and the past, present, and future. its almost kind of a Buddhist-like thing i am feeling. and i would like to take this moment to thank Ves for introducing Siddhartha into my life. that kind of stuff can really make a kid think. but anyway, i have come to the realization, even at this most extremely early point of my college career, that college is just so much more important to a person than high school. and its not meant to be a really scary thing, its actually really really cool when you think about it. high school didnt have any real bearing on your life for the next 40+ years. college does. college prepares you for your job, but most importantly its the stepping stone for us into adulthood. upon completion of college we can officially consider ourselves adults without having any reservations. we will all hopefully figure out who we are as people and what kind of person we want to be for the rest of our lives. gained responsibility, learning to adapt to new situations, and having more 'mature' fun will all help us out. and its awesome. it really is. of course theres gonna be sadness for we are leaving that which we know: our family, most of our friends, and yes, even mhs. its just very very cool stuff.
