So I mulled over how to do this post for a while. My pecha kucha was a low point for me last semester. I left feeling confused and lost about everything in life, and I didn’t want my next semester to start out that way. So I had been putting off this post for that exact reason. I finally had everything fall into place, it was like tetris. It took a while but it happened. I realized a few things about my life.
1.) I left my first semester of college completely lost because I came into it expecting to find my answers. For everything to just click and it all to work. But it didn’t, and i was left with a sense of bitterness, loss, and having more questions and insecurity than what I began with. I came home hoping to revitalize and find what I was looking for next semester, hoping that everything just falls into place and life becomes magical. Because that’s how all the stories go, no one ever tells you the times they fall. They only tell you the times they soar.
I was sitting, and I realized, I’ve made the right decision. With everything in life.
2.) Regarding school…. I was right. I was worried that I had made the wrong choice, that I felt that I didn’t fit so the school wasn’t right. I was stressed, worried, and scared. I was scared of falling on my face. Everything in life dealing with goals, when I put my mind to it I have achieved it. I have tunnel vision when I make up my mind. I’m so stubborn and thick skulled that when I make up my mind I will move mountains to get something done. I realize that I’ve made the right choice, I love MIAD, and I love being there. It took me a little while being away from it and the stress of class… but I love it.
I’m happy with life in general, and I’m in a good place. I can’t wait to get back to Milwaukee and school. It sounds odd, but I miss the fast pace of things. For the first 3 days home, I couldn’t sit still. I had to be doing something at all times. I like neat freaked and cleaned the entire house monday cause I couldn’t sit still.
