Day 238: Taking Chances

College in my generation is confusing. We are expected to perform as adults while being treated as adults and basically adulting is hard. Some of my peers are having a child, some are getting into a relationship and some went missing since the graduation of Senior Highschool. Being in the first batch of senior highschool to come into college, the expectations are way out of the window and some people doesn't even have time to socialize (looking at you self).

Academics are important but most of the people around me, even my professors, insist that life is not all about academics and they are right. The previous years of my life felt wasted since I refused to socialize in order to focus in school which backfired immediately. So in any case scenario, try to socialize, it's not expensive.

The great thing about college, or in case my college. Is that we change classrooms every class as well as we interact with different people with degree programs. It's like speed dating , but it last for an hour and a half and you feel stressed. with the variety of people around you, it is a blessing in disguise that you can make multiple first impressions in a semester or even a year. 

There are multiple things that you have to thrive in life and some risks take so much from you that you will forever wonder what it might be if you only took that risk. But here's the catch, if something or someone has the possibility of making you happy even at the slightest one percent. Do it. It is much better to say "oops" rather than "what if"

My college life is only starting but I have  few oops in my hands. I am not slowing down and I will see to it that no more what ifs and I think you should do too.
