Your alarm starts playing "I don't love you" by Urban Zakapa as you slowly roll off your bed. Clunk! "Good morning to you too, World," you proclaim loudly in your dorm room as though someone could hear you. It is seven a.m, and your exam starts in one hour. Somehow, as you slowly open your eyes, the white paint on the ceiling catches your attention.
Imagine, a white canvas that you can paint your life over again. You hold the magical paintbrush to your life. There are many things you could redo and bypass in life. You could avoid taking that one professor in Physics and save your GPA a few points.
You might have taken a shortcut to get to that one class faster, the one with that stickler professor for attendance. Or even better, get a clutch parking spot in the lower lot of the Wintergreen Parking Lot. You could have gone to the gym a bit more and lost those extra pounds you have been talking about for ages.
Maybe, you would have dressed up a bit more for that boy in your freshman seminar class that caught your eye and ended up landing that date before classes officially ended for the fall semester. There are a lot of things that you could have changed. Things that could have saved you plenty of embarrassment and possibly the evil glares from your professor as you ran into your psychology lecture thirty minutes late because of the bus you got stuck behind in traffic.
But, there is something about those tiny, minuscule details that make life interesting. As frustrating as it can be, you somewhat enjoy those thrilling runs through campus as you almost make it to class. You could save tons of money on not purchasing large cups of coffee every other day if you managed your time better. You might have avoided that awful blind date with that business major from another college. However, you would not change a single detail.
Each experience is a life lesson on its own. Without it, life is boring. These imperfections are strangely entertaining. So, a perfect world, in your opinion, should not exist. As silly as human beings can be to strive for the ideal life, they lack the realization that a perfect world is monotonous and tedious. Imagine, never having to worry about those small details.
These struggles in life only allow us to push ourselves further. It makes us want to improve in life. You, for one, are for making mistakes. It helps you learn and keeps you on your feet.
"Isn't that right, World?", you exclaim loudly, as the room becomes encompassed by the echo of your voice. Zzz. Zzz. Your phone starts to vibrate. It is your reminder that class starts in five minutes. "Ugh," you groan as you quickly get up and grab your backpack, "Time to run." And now, you are off on another adventure. Life is amusing when things are harder than normal.
