Impressive

College is lame, hard, annoying, frustrating, emotionally draining, silly, fun, a joke, waste of time, an asset, life, dumb, challenging, demanding, knowledgeable, costly, ETC. College is a lot of things to a lot of people. Right now the scale is weighted to the 'fed up' side, partly because I'm a SR, partly because I have four weeks left in a 19 credit hour semester.

I suppose this point comes in everyone's semester... the point where you want to give up and can't, the point where your grades suck but you can't really fix them, the point where group projects get behind, the point where sleep starts to be put on the back burner to attempt to learn things about (for me) cross docking, subcultures, and direct marketing. I personally don't really care about any of those, but I'm told I should care so I end up caring. Caring is the first step in a many step program called life. I Digress.

I think the hardest thing for me is not being able to impress those that I really want to while at the same time not noticing how much I do impress others. I'd like to impress all my teachers, show that I'm the next Bill Gates, the next Facebook guy, the next whatever because I'm just so cool. I'd also like to impress a girl, my parents, my friends, and myself. Truth is I'm just me and that isn't anyone terribly special or smart, but I have my moments and I guess that makes me momently cool. Yes, I just said that.

At the end of the day (I actually learned that line from probably my favorite teacher in the whole world (minus my parents of course), Dr. D. You should take her for marketing, you'll learn something because she is quite impressive) anyway, at the end of the day I actually do impress myself, not so much that I'm Brad Pitt (or whoever girls go crazy about these days), but that I'm no longer who I was last year, last month, or yesterday. I'm growing, learning, becoming stronger, more knowledgeable, more kind, and that is impressive because a lot of people never learn to embrace what they have.
