As the second quarter of my freshman year comes to an end, I've realized that at times I made things worse than they really are, especially since finals are coming up along with the end of my freshman year rapidly approahing. Staying up for hours studying or writing an essay, looking for apartments, and diminishing leisure time are all things I have complained about in the recent weeks. I've looked at the negative side and not enough of the positive. I should be glad that I am currently attending a UC, an opportunity that very few people get to experience. I should take advantage of all the opportunities I have been given. Who cares if i have to put in a couple extra hours of studying or hard work here and there. I am working towards my future. Yeah it may suck to be up all night writing a paper, but it is a small step that will help me reach my future goals. I have been looking for apartments for my next year in college. It has been a hassle trying to look for a place that is both affordable and nice. Now that I look at it, I should be excited about living in the apartments next year with some really great friends. I know it's a cliche' to say that thing aren't as bad as it seems but things can get a lot worse. There are many people out there with much greater adversity. We should all look at the more positive sides of everyday life and just be thankful we are able to do the things we are able to because some people are not able to.
PS: On a side note I thought I'd list some of the songs I've been working on playing on the guitar:
- Michael Buble-Everything
- Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
- Rihanna/Neyo- Hate That I Love You
- Augustana-Boston
- Dashboard Confessional-Stolen
- Maroon 5- Sunday Morning
