It’s so good to be back home. I’ve been waiting for this time of the year for too long. When you’ve been living in your books for four months, you just want to escape and get out.
People often ask me if I would have done this in college instead if I had the opportunity to rewind time. But I don’t. Sure, I probably would have finished earlier, saved a lot of money, and gone through less stress, but honestly, I probably would’ve lost sight of my goal. It’s hard to remember that these abstract classes are for the sake of a hands-on career that have very little to do with what I’m studying. At a large public university, the level of difficulty is indescribable. You get lost. You fall down a lot. And sometimes, there just isn’t enough energy to pick yourself up and carry on. It’s sad, because so many dreams get crushed. It shouldn’t have to be that way. But unfortunately, that’s how the system works.
I’m more than halfway through. The first half felt like an eternity, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of the academic year is going to be the same. I hope this break goes by slowly because I know I won’t have another one for a while after these three weeks.
