And thus begins another crazy spring semester of my undergraduate career at UMASS Boston. Another six months of roommates, term papers, and stress, not to mention another six months closer to the formidable realization that the "REAL WORLD" is looming somewhere in my distant future. The key to success as a twenty-one year old undergrad girl? Perfecting your balancing act. Was Charles Dickens speaking directly to me about college when he wrote,
That Charles was a smart guy. How'd he know that 153 years later here I'd be struggling to cope with the best and worst of undergrad? I have had a lot of fun, sometimes too much fun!, and met a lot of amazing people in my college experience, yet I've also had a hell of a time dealing with roommates, pulling all-nights, and stressing out deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life. It certainly is the age of wisdom, and I've learned a lot from some absolutely incredible professors, yet I'm still just a kid making A LOT of mistakes, not too proud to call myself very foolish, at times. I have a lot to learn and a lot of growing up to do but I'd like to keep it that way for now. I want to enjoy myself and my friends while we're still young and crazy and happily unemployed. I have everything in front of me, all of the opportunities in the world and while I hate to admit it, not a clue of what to do with them or where I'll end up.
