Manifest Destiny

"Do you want to change your mind? You can always change your mind."- Guster
Change. The promise of it is something that's I've been consumed with for a while. It started in high school with the prospect of college growing near. Then I showed up for my first semester, not quite knowing what to expect, but knowing I was so excited to be there. Great things have happened since-- I've met some of the most amazing people and laughed harder than I ever thought was possible. I understand now why people call these years the best of their lives.
But this first semester is drawing to a close as finals loom over. I see so many motivated, determined people all around me, and they beg me to consider, what am I doing with my life? Since arriving here just a few short months ago, I've changed the path for my future ten times over. And not to say I'm not excited, but it's a bit unnerving to know that there is so much that isn't planned out. But I guess this is how life is showing me how to live in and appreciate the moment.
So on that note... carpe diem-- seize the day! You never know what lies ahead, so make the most of what you're given.
