College? So far so good. I'm beginning to feel comfortable here and am enjoying it very much. It's good to have things that remind you and bring you back to Home when you are 7 hours away, and this is just that:
While introducing myself to people, finding out what majors others are (I've yet to find someone with Arts & Humanities as well! ...but if I'm the only one, I wouldn't be bothered!), I found that my major seems to cause quite a stir and confusion. Nobody really knows what exactly an Arts & Humanities major is until I explain that it basically is majoring in English/writing with a concentration in an arts (with my choice--music). I've always been afraid of establishing myself as something and finding out that it limits me from doing what I actually want to do. So, as my college career is beginning to find its ground, I want to make a list of a few life goals that are so dear to me that I never want to lose track of. These are the goals that I find I would be extremely disappointed in not accomplishing, and things that would make my heart stop beating and make me feel an extreme sense of failure. I've thought long and hard about these, but to have it posted up here as a constant reminder will help me keep track of what truly matters to me in these changing times.
Ergo!
- To marry, love, and raise a family in a place that feels like Home.
- To perform in a band and write some, if not most, of their music.
- Journey into the "unknown" in a foreign country, i.e. travel.
- Have coffee and share laughs with high school friends during break hours in adult life.
- To establish myself with my culture, my writing, and my music all throughout my life.
- To be a good person.
What matters to you? What do you hope to accomplish?
