29.30 | I was talking to a friend of mine who was preparing to go to college. They felt the same way I felt when first going to college. They were scared, but excited. I talked to them about my experiences of the college life. I told them it was wonderful, emotional, terrible, yet amazing. I told them about my uniquely wonderful roommates and how lucky I am to have them. They wonderfully described college as the "in between" time. I liked that description. You're right in between that time of childhood and adulthood. I think you could ask any older adult now and they could recount their college experiences very well. I wonder why that is? I guess this is time where you grow and become who you are going to become for the rest of your life. Everything about you gets questioned in college. Morals, opinions, habits, pet peeves, and priorities for starters.
Someone asked me how the whole college experience was once. I thought about it awhile and replied to them, "emotional." I'm not sure why I said that but it was true. College has been an emotional time. My friend described it as a roller-coaster, which I find brilliantly intriguing and true. Sometimes you feel like your about to fall out your seat and other times you feel so much joy that you scream at the top of your lungs.
College has seemed to become a time where you choose who you want to become and what kind of story you want to live. It is a time where we learn to do hard things and make tough decisions. It is where some people get an F for the first time ever and some people do something they've never done before. I like college and what it prepares you for and the experiences it brings to you.
