Some days go on without a thought, but on other days, I could actually feel myself living, if that is even possible.
Sitting in my residence studying hall, facing the streets full of students walking, jogging, marching, and pacing up and down the pavements each armed with their own thoughts of the world, and then tourists on Hippo bus rides staring blankly at the students through their digital camera screens, conjures up a feeling of fascination, like that induced by the discovery of a rainbow when I was a child.
I absolutely love university; there are so many brilliant people here, with brilliant talents, brilliant ideas, and brilliant flaws I didn't even know could exist. But no one knows you here, except your old photographs of familiar smiling faces, and long-distance phone numbers. In a while, they too, won't know you - the new you.
I hope universities don't become a mere place we end up in after high school. In high school, we were taught to accept what we learned, now I feel the power to decide for myself the truths and the worth thoughts of the world :)
And why doesn't anyone
ever update anymore? ):
I thought this was just a summer thing lol, but there are lots of brilliant people..and I can't match up to their brilliance, im so average, and its all so tiring zzzz
