Remember.
I often find myself wondering what I will take away from my college experience. I wonder if I will remember specific event and people, or will they just fade into the recesses of my mind forever to settle simply as a lost memory. I hope that one day when I look back I can smile and say,
‘Yeah I do remember that day.’
But what if I can’t? What if some things have to be temporary? What if since this is only my first year everything will be completely different by my last year here. I hate to look back on each day and see that I can only remember specific events. What if I needed that day? What if it was the perfect day and all I could remember was the simplest details.
I don’t want to grow up and look back on my life only to believe nothing incredible or noteworthy happened to me.
Is that our problem as humans? Do we always just strive for too much and lose sight of the present by looking too intently into the future?
