college.
It's suppose to be the best years of your lives most people say. It suppose to be a time where you figure out who you are, make friends, build relationships, experience life on your own without your parents or anyone holding you back.
On April 16th, it turned to be the worst day for many people lives.
I seen the news coverage as it was occuring. I thought nothing much of it, thinking they were shooting someone that needed to be shot, you know, Law Enforcement handling a situation. I went on with my normal daily routine of classes to come back to find out that there was more to the incident. That actually college students and professors were dead or seriously injuried.
I was numb to think something that horrible could happen on a college campus. It seems unreal, you would think college would be full of people who had common sense. People who wouldn't on shooting rampages to deal wth issues in their lives since they are surrounded by a community of people who could help them. But then again college has the potential of being a place where you concern about your own safety, with having so many different type of people from different places and personality all living amongst each other, passing each other throughout the day. So unreal.
I was even more numb to this whole situation being that recently, there was a shooting that occured on my own campus. Inside a dorm full of unaware and uninformed students. I was amongst the unknowing about the situation, and how serious it was. It was even more numb to me that I actually knew and heard of the person, and recently saw him earlier in the day, peaceful, quiet, not bothering a soul. Only wanted something to eat since it was during lunch time.
So to think what many people are going through right now. Worrying about their friends, their classmates, their peers. Having to hear the names of the dead be called out, and some people actually knowing these victims, are the saddest thing.
I can't imagine me waking up worrying if one of my close friends is dead or possibilty injuried. I just don't know. I just can't explain.
Everyday college student like me. Going to class.
Never will these people enjoy a weekend of enjoyment. A weekend of spending time with their family. Never will they be photographed. Never will they walk across the stage during graduation.
Wrong place at the wrong time? You can't say that. What is so wrong about them going to class to sit through an innocent maybe even boring routine lecture. Gosh.
i just dont know. I just know things like this makes me wonder. And makes me appreciate life more. And cherish those who I consider close to me.
