Questionable objectivity
It's been a long time since I wrote in this livejournal.
I'm currently sitting in a place where people can always find me: javas. I'm just relaxing here and thinking of why I have not really had anything new to write about in livejournal when I see everybody else always having something to say. Maybe I do have more to say than I realize but just can't figure out how to write it down to the public.
This is my last year of RIT and right now I feel like I'm in the middle about it. On the one hand I'm going to be elated to be leaving a school where life seemed to have been so bleak and negative for so many of my friends as well as people who feel like this place does not give you the best you can get from a college.
On the other hand, I'm happy that I have been put through 4 years of education, with a social life, a set of friends I know I can trust and able to come out feeling like there is something out there for me that's worth doing. Of course the real truth is I'm always wondering if I got the best education possible or not. The main problem with this is I always wonder what it's like for criminal justice majors in other colleges who appear to have a higher ranking for CJ education than RIT. It will probably be something I will always be wondering. That's one of the main reasons I'm determined to make sure I go to graduate school later. (never mind that it will be harder to go back to school. I've gone through shit and I can get through more)
One thing that's been on my mind lately is how concerned I feel for one of my close friends who seem to always have such an emotional roller coaster. He's always feeling up and down every two seconds and it just got worse this quarter. I'm trying to make sure I encourage him to think positive about himself and about school. He's got a great heart and a very intellectual mind. He knows more on current events than I could catch up on in a year. I'm sure he knows who he is and when he reads this I want him to know two things: I'm always here for him and I truly believe life can be easier if he had a more consistent positive image about himself and life.
Can anyone ever truly go through life staying positive without having a few bumps or letdowns? no I think it's impossible to live for so long as to never have stress or peer pressure. The best we can do is learn from it and learn from our mistakes. I certainly hope that everyone who goes to college comes to know all of what I've written and has the ability to stay consistently positive no matter where life leads.
Me? I could do a whole lot better than what I am doing now. It's possible that my motivation for reaching my highest potential has somewhat gone down. How do I get back up?
