In a little room in a big city I begin to pack my things. Yes it is true that 4 years have passed. I should know, I was there. I was there for every second of those 4 years. But now I am at the end of the definable era. I say definable not to completely mean it as something that defines me but more of something that is well defined in the minds of our society and/or the breakdown of American life. College is that last bastion of youth. Or so you thought.
It really isn't.
I've come to find that I am still very much the same person, more mature in different settings, but truly the same where it counts. And boy does it count.
Could you imagine not being a good person? I can't. I really can't. I am happy that my life is populated by good people. It leads to good experiences and time spent more enjoyably.
The most important thing I can tell anyone is to never stop learning.
This can be applied in any situation. It should be a nice reminder to never think that you know it all or have it all figured out. I have learned so much and I have acquired the skills to keep learning, possibly in better ways.
This has been a staggering month. From my own personal graduation to sharing time with family and friends to celebrate their big milestones, I have found a refreshed sense of activity.
I feel such a positive momentum forward. Even a brilliant skeptic like me has avoided the cynical clouds and has really come to see life for the simple and beautiful thing that it is.
Well that was about as deep as I'm willing to go.
When are we going to celebrate our post-collegiate era? The out of school party to kick off the Start of Life party??
Hey guys. You're all great in my book.
