Hey There!
So this past week one of my followers tweeted the above message and it really struck me, as I thought it might strike some of you. I think this message especially applies to the reality many of us face as freshmen in college. We are literally on the cusp of young adulthood and being thrust into the "real world". As we enjoy the thrills of being young, wild and free, we are also faced with, for some of us, the very daunting fact that in some short years, we will become full fledged members of society. Personally, I know that each day I spend here at Penn State, I learn something new. Whether it be in class or just learning something new about myself through living life.
Since the start of this semester, I have truly learned so much about myself. I have this new-found appreciation for my faith in God and how important it is that I keep these values first in my life. I've learned that it's important that I figure out who my true friends are and who I choose to surround myself with. Moreover, I see that it's fine to be cordial with people without having to hang out with those people all the time. To be quite honest, it seems like sometimes it's better to maintain a little space from certain people just to avoid problems! I'm learning just how much I value my family, especially my mommy (who's my best friend)! Oh and of course, I must always remember how important it is that I maintain my focus here at school and remember exactly why I'm here.
I'm also starting to realize what I want out of life. I'm learning what I want as far as my career and my aspirations. While it's all still a learning process and I'm still figuring it all out, I believe I am on the right path!
What are some of the things you have learned about yourself since entering college? What have you realized is most important in life? What is it that you want out of life? Does this tweet "speak" to you in any way?
Until next time! :)
I truly agree with this post, I have learned so much about myself. I have learned to have more confidence in everything I do in life. The most important thing I have learned is to simply be more happy. I used to live with so many regrets but I don't any more. I try to always find the positives in a situation and I feel blessed by those positives. It is just better to live life happy and never dwell on anything. This is a great period in life to truly discover who you are.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, I've discovered more about myself in these past few months then I have in my entire life. Everyday, I miss my family, and I have realized how much they mean to me. In the end, the people who care for you the most are your family, so should care for them the most. Also, I've been questioning my goals recently too. Is this really what I want? Is this worth going through? It gets harder as time goes by, and I haven't found the answer yet either. This tweet may be less then 140 charcters, but it does make a point that many miss in their lifetimes.
