Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I’m crazy about Lord of the Rings. I seriously love everything about the books, the movies, everything, even Gollum (I know crazy). So, of course, as I’m proceeding through my freshman year of college, I’m comparing my experiences to the best trilogy of all time, and there are so many quotes that directly correlate with my college life.
1. When you read the syllabus (seriously, you need to read those things):
“I don’t like anything here at all.” said Frodo, “step or stone, breath or bone. Earth, air and water all seem accursed. But so our path is laid.”
2. When you’re in the middle of an exam:
“I didn't think it would end this way.”
3. When you decide that The Office is more important than that reflection that’s due tomorrow (#expertprocrastinator):
“It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.”
4. When the teacher decides to assign more work and the class tries to convince him/her otherwise:
“Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn!”
5. When you are fast approaching not being a teenage anymore and having to adult:
“I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts.”
6. Suddenly there are so many choices and things to do; it’s the first time you’re on your own (kind of):
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
7. Everything is before you and…
“Home is behind, the world ahead,
and there are many paths to tread”
