Currently working on the construction of a second blog -- this second one will be more of a collection of my ramblings... of course, when it is completed, I will post a link here.
The latest song on repeat:
My past week:
-Had an alright week, did okay on a midterm
-Decided to drop my International Rural Development class in lieu of Global Change Biology
-Tried Phil's coffee and Phil's Sliders -- both were delish
-Assisted in a high school tour -- I had forgotten how young and eager you are when you are still in high school and it was interesting to see my younger self in these high school students
-Celebrated Laura's birthday :)
My ramblings (philosophical and whatnot):
*I never want to be apathetic to the world or to the struggles and plights of the people around me, be they loved ones or strangers.
*It's not about the appearance of being "nice" or about being "good" -- although giving is not an obligation, to care for fellow human beings, the desire to help others, it should be innate.
*There is so much beauty in the world -- I want to be able to enjoy every breath I take, exhale in every song I hear, and relish in the experiences of every person I meet.
Over the past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Laura's friends who studied abroad with her in Hong Kong, and as they reminisced over their experiences, I couldn't help but think of the friends and experiences that I had this past semester. Among the multiplicity of lessons I had, the following were some of the most prominent lessons that I realized:
- To cherish your closest friends and your experiences -- not just my friends, loved ones, and family but the new friends and family I made
- This past fall semester was one of the best experiences and times of my life and I don't want to lose the friends and memories I made but I also don't want to live too much in the past
- Every day is a new adventure and every place is a chance for a new exploration -- Just because I am not abroad, doesn't mean I can't explore and adventure places
I am blessed to have had the experiences I have had, and am even more blessed to continue experiencing the world outside of my Berkeley and San Jose bubble in the upcoming fall. I will take all the lessons I have learned thus far, and continue to experience, learn, and grow -- continually maturing into the person that I have always envisioned myself to be.
This is a journey about me. About my own decisions and my own growth. About the future I want for myself.
