A Farewell to Summer Fun
The 18th summer vacation of my life ended this week. Surprisingly it didn’t end with a blast. Rather, it ended with feelings of apprehension and anxiety for the coming semester. On the last day of summer vacation I was furtively wishing that time would stop. However, I came to a realization that summer was just a diversion…a diversion from the troubles I left behind last semester. The realization that I have to face all those tribulations I left overwhelms me. I have a strong urge to run away from all those troubles but that’s exactly what I did last semester. Running away is an endless cycle. I have to face it if I want to overcome it. But overcoming disappointments, regrets, rejections, and frustrations is no easy feat.
My first year in college was a letdown, a big disappointment. Acquiring a warning status proves how much I messed up my first year. Someone said that I messed up because all I look for is fun, fun, and more fun. School became least in my priorities. Now on my second year, I want to start anew. I will straighten up my act and search for a goal. I wonder how far I can go with a goal…
