"Get into the program and graduate; it doesn't matter what your GPA is in the end, just as long as you get an education."These words echoed in my ears, and I pondered them as I trekked back to my apartment. It seemed they did not only apply to college, but to life in general. Have I been going about life the wrong way? Have I gotten caught up in my GPA and neglected the joy and fulfillment in actual learning? Have I been too interested in the end result of my mortal experience to enjoy the adventures along the way?
I want to keep track of the little things, the turning points, the silly thoughts that slowly shape my life like a chisel on granite. I want to realize the adventure I am already partaking of, and add to it. I want to learn, and I want to share, and I want to live.
When I heard those words on campus, in my mind it was translated into what I needed to hear:
"Get into the life and be; it doesn't matter what your legacy is in the end, just as long as you live, and live it right."So, let the eternal adventures begin.
