A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

Questions about freewill have come up in the past few months.

A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

In such a short amount of time, I reflected on so much. I took time out of my days just to reflect on what I had occurred in the past 24 hours. My favorite places to mask out the world with the use of music was either on the steps of Francis hall, on a nice bench, or at a picnic table in Angelica Park. This became my favorite pastime, especially during this semester. Therefore, I have thought that it would be a nice idea to do a series of interpretations throughout the few upcoming weeks.

Part 1: Here is a question for everyone. What does free will mean to you? Remember we do have rules within society. As my professor said in class, however, rules are meant to be broken.

Part 2: With rules already set in place for you, how might you go about testing society's limits and yours? This is where free will comes into play. My definition of the term Freewill is that we live in a society of limitless dreams and endless possibilities.

Part 3: My definition is not supposed to scare you. It states that no dream is too big and anything is possible throughout life. Life is meant to be scary but this should not stop you. I know that you cannot predict what will happen within the next chapter of your life, but that is okay.

Side Note: I drastically changed my academic plan by dropping a major. It is funny how you can make a decision so quickly and change routes. However, I felt that I needed to experience certain curriculum in the past year to understand where my heart was at.

In conclusion, your life can get away from you where you might have to recheck yourself. It can also change direction. Whatever the case might be, acting upon reflection and incorporating the acknowledgment of free will into your life is a must.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
