Not that I am doing poorly, but the motivation to continue with the last leg of my college career is non-existent. I have had my eye set on the prize for so long. The prize of course being freedom, and the ability to start the part of my life that actually means something. Family. Love. A Life.
College, for me, has been fighting against the stereotype. Everyone (not just kids, but also adults) thinks of college as an excuse to get drunk and go wild. But why do we need to subject ourselves to that and fall into that path of self destruction (by way of alcohol poisoning)? At least, that is the way that I always thought about it. I never wanted to be like that. Don't get me wrong, I have gone to the bars and experienced nickle night. But to me, it seems like that is everyone's goal. Everyone's plans stop the moment after graduation.
For me, college has been a time to learn and expand my line of thought. But it has also enabled many things which I feel are directly connected. Because of my education, I will be able to get a job with a reasonable salary, save for a wedding and a house (the whole white picket fence thing), and eventually be able to stay home with my children.
You may think "Whoa! This girl is just graduating from college, why is she thinking that far in advance?" I swear, I'm not crazy. I just feel that those have always been my priorities. Having a large and happy family. And when I think of that "prize" I feel more calmed and more fulfilled. And believe it or not, it is what is getting me through these next three weeks until graduation.
Priorities.
And, on that note, I will go work on a presentation that is due tomorrow for that Management class.
