This is the most important time of my life. (college)

and I'm only realizing it too late.


It’s the time I'll have to hang with the best friends of my life. I’ll not get to go running with my friends, working out, and gaming, everything like it is now two years from now. In the future I shall do my best and value my recreation time as much as possible, but it'll never be just the same as it now. I'll change. They'll change, but the most drastic thing is that our life schedules will change. I find it hard to change now and endure the suffering, but I'm getting there. I think of the things that I worry about now, and those notions are really miniscule compared to five, ten, nineteen years from now. Tonight I'm pulling an all-nighter, but I feel great about it. I can do this. I will do this. The paper and notebook are due at 12:30, and I can totally do this. I can change myself.

Many people simply accept that who they are now is who they have to be forever. Well, the person you are now is the person you have always been. However, to realize that your personality and habits can be changed is the realization that you can become a better person with that better future you seek. ME? Well, that better time is right now, and I have to stop selling myself short that I live in drudgery, because I don't.

I certainly will not have anything drastic to worry about in the future, and I can't imagine what it'll be like in a few years when my friends and I go our separate ways. But it's this thing I've come to rely on the past few months: a sense of faith that everything will be alright and that those I know and love will always be with me.

Look, we've got this forum and technology. We're never really separated as long as we technologically connect. You just wait till we have holograms, and then you can chill with your people any time just like they were actually in the room, sans annoying smells, which my buddies have from time to time. I'll probably begin to miss even that, sorta, or at least the camaraderie of us kidding each other, but I'll eventually appreciate my space and have one of those family things. At such time, my good friends will be uncle this and aunt that. I have a feeling I'm going to make all of that possible.

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive


So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

CHORUS:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

CHORUS

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

CHORUS

The eye of the tiger...

Eh, considering I always work so damn much even during school, I actually prefer the semesters I intern and have more of a "real life job" than school because I actually have more time for myself. This is because I have one job to worry about rather than two and then school on top of it.

Your second paragraph makes me physically nauseous.
