Hola dear reader,
Thanks for clicking another link that brought you to this "article".
Of late I've noticed that my Blog posts have been kinda goey and emotional. Having said that, I acknowledge the fact and do not intend to change that for the foreseeable future. (Insert Smug looking face here)
There comes a time every year in a student's life where things seem to change. The change might be small, unnoticeable, some might not even feel the winds of change, but for some of us who do, it's a time of (for lack of a better word) uncertainty.
Uncertainty about the future, about friends from the present going away, and about life in general. The holidays don't really help much. All that time not spent immersed watching TV shows and movies goes into wondering how life would be different when those close to you move away, and some "new" ones come in, or is it just me?
However it may be, the future holds the potential to surprise us with new acquaintances and those who stayed in touch. Obviously, that's accompanied by the bitter truth that most people will drift away, only with a few "Hello"s and "Ssup"s in passing(sorry for sounding like a texting aficionado, I can assure you I AM NOT).
The scene may look gloomy and depressing to those who stop reading at this point. For the happy/optimistic (your call) take, read on!
The happy angle is that you meet new people.(read "period")
It may be scary, it may be weird, but you are meeting new people, and that has infinite potential. I've probably said (read typed) it before that these new ones might just end up being you "goto" people (pardon my slightly nerdy language).
Plus, the old ones who stay connected, even by that 12 A.M birthday wish, or the occasional phone call (or video chat, to each his own), will be the ones who'll be there for you.Always.(emphasis)
So to those who are going away (for jobs, education, trouble with the mafia or other miscellaneous reasons) - have amazing lives ahead, but let them be riddled with little pangs of nostalgia (Yes, you need to stay in touch). Buena suerte :D
Ending on a happy note.
Shine on!
