Goes to university fooling itself it is off on some amazing journey filled with unforgettable experiences and a rewarding educational experience. Instead has to contend with a gazillion others to get the edge over the other. With every C comes the dimming of that light at the end of the tunnel.        Tantrums, caffeine filled nights, sleepless nights and pasta filled diets dominant its life.  All this with the ever-fading dream that it would all be worth it, that it would result in the 5-figure salary and the fulfilling of all wishes and hearts desires. Perpetually stressed, aggressive. Can be distinguished from the crowd via his 2-tonne bag pack and over-sized ego, blackberry and iPod; struts around with an air of entitlement, and occasionally with an air of ‘que sera, sera”. Half of the things Scholastic would learn is subsequently forgotten by the next semester to make room in its egg-shaped head for all the info it would need to cram for midterms, finals and the like. You realize you have turned into this poor creature when the idea of being eaten by a bear seems more enticing than the prospect of getting a C in accounting. Oh no, the dreaded C? Lets not even think of Ds that’s a sad prologue to suicide!

See growing up, I’ve been discovering that as the years pass by , your priorities changed. The things I thought were important two years ago are things I now consider irrelevant, immature and stupid. Things I used to take for granted I now appreciate. I think it’s because over the last few years I’ve lost things I never really appreciated and now that their gone, I look back and think, ‘Damn I was pretty stupid!’ Unfortunately you can’t change the past, (or magically go back in time to that point in time when you made that mistake and stop yourself from doing it). You have to live with every single stupid thing you’ve done and hope to God that you don’t go and repeat the same thing again. But I didn’t start this blog jsut to go back to bashing my ego (like I’ve done time and time again) I hope that as I go through this journey of ‘enlightenment’, to find out what went wrong and try and rectify anything that can be fixed. A clean slate, you might call it. So I’m letting go of any guilt, pain or anger I might have felt towards anybody or anything. I’m starting afresh.
