"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.
Mais franchement, t'es forte, toi, et je t'aime. :)

I shall! (And when I find out, I won't post it here because then everyone else would skimp out of the adventure!)
DeleteAlways be sure to enjoy the journey! More power to you! <3 xoxo
