The winds howled tonight. Times are changing. LIfe is intransition. I am at the prime of my life, but I waste so much of it away on trivial pursuits and mediocre living. As I washed dishes tonight I could not help thinking about college. Stanford sent me a second rejection letter to make sure I received the first one. But I realized that I don't have to be a Stanford Cardinal to be unique. Stanford doesn't verify my unique identity, talent, or intelligence. It merely is a crimson name with a lot of money behind it.
I can't live my life constantly washing dishes. I need to be creative. I want to live for adventure and romance... I need a break everey once in a while, but we can't live in heaven no matter how hard we try. Often we resign ourselves to the place we have landed. But I still want to explore this world and discover where I really belong.
So where does this all leave me? UW? Berkeley? Somewhere else? God has challenged me to make a tough choice. In the end no matter what I do will likely work out if I instill passion into my choices. But I still don't know.
At least I have over a month to figure this out and great friends and family. I trust my intuition. If I listen to God and the kindred souls around me I will discover my path.
