Despite the fact that I have only attended college for one week, I have been able to think about what message I can portray to anybody surrounding me. My message is not necessarily something I have learned, but just something that I have noticed along the way of my adolescence and throughout high school.

It seems as if too many people in our society are quick to judge, or just think that they have the answers to everything. Too many believe they have a right to tell you what your doing wrong in life, or just flat out tell you that you need a personality change. It frustrates me that this happens all the time because, I'm one of those people who will not tell you to your face that you need to change something about yourself. People should just do what they want.

Very true quote.

Personally, I have had people told me that I have to work on my social skills, and to be less timid. I have also been told that I need a girlfriend. I have been told what I should and should not write about, and what I should post on my social media. As much as I try to take people's opinions into account, I wonder why so many people care about what I am doing with my life.

As the Kanye West song goes, "Everything I'm not made me everything I am." Now I don't want to turn people away and say "screw you" when someone says something about me however, I also don't want to just change my personality or career choice because of someone else. I just want to let people know that I will continue to write what I want and will always have the same personality.

Despite my the loose "rant" that I just went on, I still want to put a positive spin on my message. I've realized that college is a lot less of a "social experiment", so that really excites me. There is a certain point in life where people stop trying to be like that. So, I am truly pleased to say that some of my best relationships and moments are ahead of me.

Yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have many flaws, just like everyone else. Yes, I will continue to pursue my dreams, and be myself, despite what people may want changed about me. I grew up in a place called Agawam, Massachusetts, where your business was everyone else's business. But, I am ready for that next chapter in life outside of my hometown.

I'm not here to try and change people's perspectives on life, or even here to tell people what do. I am just here to tell people what I have witnessed in our society recently. I want to tell everyone that I will continue to pursue a career in journalism, and continue to climb each ladder in life.

So, I guess my overall message that I want to share to society is, always do what you want in life. You will be wasting your time worrying about what other people think about how you should live your life. Yes, there were times where I did care what people said, but now with a new life ahead of me, I will only care about my dream, and what I need to do to get there.
