There are a million things I want to do before I graduate and unfortunately I have to wait until I graduate to do them. I really would like to drop out and just go do them right now. Sometimes I worry that after three semesters of college my big dreams will fizzle out and I'll settle for something like living in the real world. I'd rather live in New York City trying to become a ridiculously successful photographer for bands and celebrities and magazines and stuff. I'll spend my free time going to places in Europe and Australia and I'll buy my parents a house on Oahu. Then I'll put out a book someday of my life's work so that someone who is in the same place that I am in right now will look at it and it will motivate them to do something awesome with their life.
Here's the thing that's been bothering me lately; I've noticed that a lot of people put all of their eggs in one silly little basket and that basket happens to be marriage. When marriage doesn't happen they give up. Think of all the brilliant things they could be doing without that kind of responsibility! If life isn't as exciting as you hoped it would be, do something to make it worth while. Do something that inspires other people to do something incredible, that to me would be the most satisfying thing in the world.
I'm a pretty ordinary person but I want extraordinary things to happen to me. And they will. I promise. Don't get me wrong, I'm scared to death of going broke and changing my life so dramatically. But that kind of fear is irrational and not real. Regret however is real and I would regret not trying. Even if I fail.
Over Christmas break my friend Christian came back from Hawaii. He's one of the top 5 people I know. And Down there is Sarah, She's number 1.
My Fall semester in Colorado went too fast and towards the end I had a lot of fun. I met some of the coolest people and I hope that I'll see them again. This fall was good for me. Turns out I have a lot going for me and I can do some pretty cool stuff. When you have that kind of confidence in yourself (something I never had any of) it's amazing how easy it becomes to be yourself and be your own person. Life isn't so hard once you figure yourself out.
