- Doobie BrothersAs fast as the move-in to Mattia 302 came, today marks the move out and
the official ending of my freshmen year in college. Suprising,
right? Events come fast and go, so I say enjoy it all while you can.
Reflecting on the past few months, I've come to realize that life is
what you make of it. Every single event, person, or thing that happens
to you as an experience, should be judged solely on your
perspective alone, and not societal bias: what society tells you is the
correct way to think of something. College thus far has made me
realize that analyzing loss, is in the eye of the beholder. For
example, some people may think that dropping out of college is a
terrible thing because of their future... whereas someone, who does not
feel college or continued education is right for them, could be
perfectly happy living a simple lif with a simple job.
The past school year has been the toughest yet. But, working so hard in
pursuit of good grades... is it really where I want to be investing my
energy? Will this eventually make me feel content? These
questions still remain unanswered. Regardless of whatever may
come, Engineering has been one of my biggest challenges to take
up. The grades I've gotten have not come easily, and even so,
some are still not where I want to be.
I know its not the end of the world, and some may view the move out as
just a mindless activity, it just bein' there. On top of it, I will be
repeating this same procedure for Judson 06'-07'...thats another story
in itself. But, I'm the type of person who just can't do that. To
feel like I really left, I need to take this time out to just say
goodbye. I met some great people here at RU, and hope to continue
staying friends with them.
RU's treated me well thus far. So as I look outside my window I sit and
take in the situation: viewing the other half of Mattia and Allen with
the dawn light making my room glow, the wind softly blowing through the
grainy screen, viewing the door which I saw thousands of people walk
through since September,
Farewell Mattia.
