Now that graduation is quickly approaching, I have been thinking about how my life will be different once I graduate. College and being in school in general has really determined my lifestyle. There are 3 things that I've noticed.
1. I don't really know how to live without a to do list.
I'm
a list person. Lists help me get organized and stay organized. But
they also help me know what I need to do and prioritize. For as long as
I can remember, I've had to put my homework and things for school on my
to do list. I have to check my to do list every day, multiple times a
day. Carry it with me anywhere I go. Once I graduate, I won't need to
do that anymore.
2. I don't know how to live a life that isn't planned around school and homework
Ever
since grade school, work comes before play. If I'm not done with my
homework, I don't do things. If I have an early school day the next
day, I don't go out that night. Homework and school has pretty much
dictated my life, but soon, that is no more.
3. I don't know, as much as I used to, how to have fun.
Because
of the lifestyle of college, I feel like my sense of fun, and knowing
how to have fun, has been muffled a little. There are always things
that I want to do and things that I don't want to do, but those desires
and that spontaneity is stifled because of things I have to do.
