growing up
It's strange to me that I've accepted the fact that I'm getting older. With age comes more responsibility and for some reason, I'm down with it.
I'm trying to figure out what I would like out of life. So far:
-Get into Med School. THIS would be nice. I gave up on this dream after my first quarter of my 2nd year in college. Why? Grades. I'm still not doing as well as I should. I let my extracurriculars take over. My outlook has changed though. I still have an MCAT to kill and some letters of rec that some school out there may appreciate...and hopefully overlook my <4.0 gpa. I really think if given an interview, they (whatever buttface admission person thrown at me) would see that this is what I really want to do. I'm also willing to wait and do whatever it takes to get there (something I've always used as an excuse to discontinue my pursuit because it was just too frustrating [and because I had too much pride] to think of entering med school at any age greater than 22).
-Make HCO the most well known club on campus. This year I'm one of the co-presidents for the Health Careers Organization and it is my duty to ensure the club continues to be successful. I WANT and WILL go above and beyond from now on. Next quarter, I plan on killing the competition (I sound blood thirsty haha). I let disorganization and blame on other people (officers) hinder the club's success. Winter break will now include game planning for the rest of the year.
-Someone to get to know. I don't know why this one is so difficult. Why are people so obsessed with taking things to the next level so quickly? I won't deny that I occassionally complain about not having that special someone. I do miss the comfort in that constant BUT I'm also ready to just let that go and "wing it". I'd like to go get some coffee or go for a walk and actually get to know what you're all about, you know what I mean?
I must add that the fact that I'm willing to not know where it could go is also (to me) a sign of getting older (it's a good thing right?).
