… It was only two weeks ago that I was out on Spring Break. Did I do anything interesting? No. Did I do homework? Some. Did I enjoy myself? I did. It was nice to not have to worry about anything and sleep as long as I could. I got to spend time with my family and watch movies that otherwise, I would have not time to. Spring break was also a wake up call to my inner self. I realized that I had been dedicating most of my time to my academic life and disregarded completely my social life. I did not pay attention to my family, nor friends… and to an extent I was living on auto-pilot. Constantly, following an every-day routine.
It felt nice to spend time with my family and to relax for a little. Spring break did not only make me realize what was happening, but changed my entire perspective of things. I am now more aware about dedicating time to my family, friends, and others. It is hard to manage school work and my social life, but I guess that is part of a college student; to discover the things that matter and find a balance for them. I still haven’t found that balance, but I hope I ‘m able to do so soon.
I am still struggling on putting effort to achieve the things that I want, but as I find myself, I wonder… what is it that I really want? What am I really putting effort for? And, is what people want, what I want? Am I pursing their dreams or my own? As I figure these questions out, my plans are to keep doing my work and devote myself wholeheartedly to the answers to these questions…
Until the next one…
Bren.
