Dear Followers,
Yeah... I haven't blogged in a while. I am actually really mad at myself for forgetting to blog over the past couple of months, especially because a collection of memorable events went down and now I've lost my opportunity to immortalize my associated perspectives. Hopefully, with school work becoming more and more unbearable, I will be blogging more as a result of my pursuit of productive procrastination. Who knows.
College decisions will be coming out in the coming months which should be a doozy. Going into high school, I remember working with a singular goal in mind: finding my way into an Ivy League school. After experiencing an extended college application process however, I no longer can say with confidence where I want to eventually go for college. I know less where I want to go in life.
It's hard to believe. In a few months I will be living on my own away from home. In a few months I will probably be saying goodbye to a wide variety of people I have spent my last few years with, some for maybe a few years and some maybe forever. The prospect of moving forward with a new phase of my life carries with it overwhelming feelings of both fear and excitement.
My experiences in high school have no doubt shaped me profoundly as an individual, but I look forward to the wealth of opportunities offered by a college experience in learning more about the real size of the world. To that end, I have decided to go forward with a philosophy of whatever happens, happens. Happiness does not only take the form of an Ivy League degree.
Regardless of where I go, I now understand that the means to succeed are not an external resource but an internal one. While my undergraduate years looming on the horizon will no doubt be a defining experience in my life, wherever I end up going will not restrict me from becoming who I want to be, whether that be a penniless shounen mangaka or a professional rhino handler.
While I have much more to say concerning the subject of utilizing your high school years in preparation for college, my car ride is coming to an end. What I've written above is merely a semi-organized flow, but I look forward to one day organizing my feelings concerning the above subject. A fresh new episode of Gintama awaits me in my room, and I should eventually begin working on my homework.
