DISCLAIMER
***DISCLAIMER:: The previous post referencing not being home for Christmas was a small joke… just me getting caught up in my own imagination. Of course I will be home for Christmas.

My Worst Fear
In the March issue of Our State is a story about a man who, while working in the office, accidentally spilled coffee on his desk. His immediate reaction was to automatically hit “control+Z” on his keyboard (the shortcut for “undo”). In that moment, he suddenly realized his life had become so artificial that his subconscious wasn’t distinguishing between the real world and the digital world.

Self vs. Society?
So far, college has been about figuring out what I want. What degree to pursue, what clubs to join, what positions to seek. Who I want as friends, what kind of person I want to be, what kind of job I want to have.
Every day teaches me about myself. I constantly seek new experiences, knowing that’s the best way for me to grow. Two years ago I chose to live on South Campus with other freshmen (despite the longer walk to campus) because I value community. Every semester I take a diverse combination of classes because I am trying to figure out what I’m most interested in and what I’m best at. I regularly evaluate the time I spend on extracurriculars, wanting to be absolutely certain that I’m doing what I love and making meaningful contributions to causes I’m passionate about. I sometimes have to stifle my compulsion to apply for everything, because I know there’s a balance between quality and quantity when it comes to seizing opportunity.

On the Sedentary Lifestyle
Today I discovered the Latin Workout station on Pandora just before I started on a run. I think it was the highlight of my day. I haven’t run in ages because the weather has been so bad, so the gorgeous day + Latin pop + long run made me very happy.
