“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are”- Kurt Cobain.

I like this quote because it encourages you to be your own person. Your not going to discover who YOU really are if you keep dwelling on who you COULD or WANT to be. You can either make it happen or discover that you're not that person. We all have our own unique attributes that no one else in our surrounding can make up for, so in losing sight of that, you're already wasting your character, your talents, you attributes that you put into your friends and society.

For before I got to Wayne State, and even a little bit after, I wanted to be someone else. I wanted to be "that guy" because he had it made, I wanted be someone else right away. I saw that and said that I can be someone totally different. In our situation as college students, we may not know exactly who we are, but thats whats so fun about these days in college, instead of lingering and wanting to be someone else, we can discover who WE really are. You can linger on who you WANT to be, or you can grow and realize that you already ARE someone.


So go, discover who you are instead of wasting time lingering on who you want to be!

Horribly inconsistent

I feel I've neglected blogger. This is an assignment and I feel like it's one I've really neglected or spaced off because blogging isn't really one of my hobbies and it feels like an untraditional assignment, so the responsibility of it kind of goes in one ear and out the other because of the unconventionality of it. I guess I'll start blogging from here then-
- This is a new semester, new major, new roommates, but for some reason it feels like a major transition has taken place. I think it's because the this is my third year here at Wayne State and the thrill of a new surrounding has burnt out. I feel likenow I'm the only one out of my friends who's always up for a thrill or an adventure. A quiet night won't do it for me anymore, like it does for them. I remember the times we'd get in a car and just drive for an hour and see where it takes us. But now that our college career is at it's midway point, that spontaniety and excitement has kind of died because the final 2-2.5 years is crunch time to make sure we get noticed when we start to look into prospective careers. I don't feel this is a bad thing, I feel it myself. I just think that it's ok to take a break and go for a "breather" once in awhile. Put school, organizational, and work obligations aside for a day and go do something that you'll be able to tell your kids about later on down the road.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm complaining or discontent, I'm just calling it how I see it. Anyways, thanks for listening.
