the clever cover story awards go to you
My nerves are starting to wear on me about transferring. How well will I adjust; can I handle harder classes, a new environment, and a part time job? These are all necessities; I don't have the option to take out massive loans, because I will be inable to pay most of them back. (Whoo for Journalists getting paid squat.) I had a good thing going here, sure, but I have to leave for any chance at my future. It will be an adjustment, and I'll be largely on my own for most it (Except for Brian and friends I meet through whoever I live with.) A firm stance in independence, but also my hardest test to date.
But I guess the truest tests in life are those situations you are thrown into, and literally have to fend for yourself and what you want. The key to surviving is knowing what you want and knowing your values. I have no doubt I can forge through it, I've forged through a lot in my life, but that doesn't make the fear any less. It doesn't make me any less nervous.
Voltaire wrote in Candide that human beings were meant to suffer or be bored. I don't know if I agree with that whole-heartedly, but there's definately some truth to the statement. I could've stayed at WCU and been bored, or I can take the chance of suffering through the adjustments of a new life. Being who I am and knowing what I want, I chose the later.
And I learned some interesting things today and last night.
I guess its safe to say that some people aren't always who they seem. And others allow their opinions to be effected by outside sources.
I'm feeling nostalgic tonight; I guess Taking Back Sunday is what exemplifies nostalgia for me.
And that makes me sad inside.
