Truly Living

As I come up to finishing this semester, I find I'm gaining more knowledge on the basis of where our society is today, and where it's headed. What do I mean by this? Well, by taking biology and ethics this semester, I'm learning a lot about how our society has come to live and the economic gap we've created as the years go on. Every week we discuss 'sticky subjects' that are debated in every day life. Things like euthanasia, abortion, economic justice, cloning, equality and discrimination, legal punishment, and global issues. Thinking about these moral issues in modern society is truly mind blowing. Often times it's hard to choose what side to take because there are subjective views from each standpoint. It's also interesting to learn all about our carbon footprint in biology, and the way that the world works and how we've come to destroy our own planet. If these are things you're unaware of, I highly suggest reading up on it or taking a course regarding them. It will change your life..

Besides enjoying what I learn about and being passionate toward school, I'd have to say it's nerve wrecking to know I graduate in one year from now. I would be graduating May 2013, but now I will be graduating December 2013. This is because I chose my minor, psychology, a little late as well as my other minor, communications, even later. Actually I recently discovered I only needed a few more classes to successfully double minor, so I chose to, thus attending WCSU for one more semester. This is fine with me, especially since I'm in no rush to graduate. The world can be a scary place due to the lack of job opportunities. I am highly confident in what I have to offer the business world, but I'm also nervous to think of where I'm going and how I'm getting there. I believe this is an aspect that many young adults my age come across, especially now. On the brink of graduation, laying out a conceptual plan as to how I am going to get where I want. I think the best way to achieve a goal is to have a step by step process laid out on paper for one to look at. If you can't visualize and have goals, then how are you going to be successful? I'm beginning to figure mine out, but it is difficult as every day you wonder where you will be most happy. After all, isn't LIVING being able to LIVE in TRANQUILITY? That's what I think, if you're not passionate, and loving what you're chasing for, then you're not going to be as successful as you'd hope..
