Break free

College is not as easy as everyone thinks... nor as hard. Yes that statement contradicts itself but as Walt Whitman says "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes."

If you really know what you want to do with your life and have a passion for it... then college really isn't so hard. You go to your classes, you get involved in the right clubs, even volenteer at the proper places and you're good to go.

If however, you are like me and have no idea what you want for your life college can be like a prison. I go to classes I do not care for, join clubs that have nothing to do with a possible future, and everyday I have an overwhelming feeling of restlessness and wanting to break free.

This is why today I began my application for Americorps. It's the peace corps but only in the United States. I figured this was a better alternative to joining the Marines or Air force which i have been seriously considering for a year now. I decided against it though because of my family's negative reaction to the thought of me being "in war". I have not decided where I would like to go (i can chose anywhere in the 50 lovely united states or even a few american territories) but I do know that I would like to feel like I'm doing something worth while...

Any advice please let me know
