So, I have been at Purdue for the past week, and has it been an eye opening experience. When I first moved in last Saturday, I didn't really know anybody, but I was excited about starting over. I think that aspect is what makes college so appealing to young adults: the ability to start over and be whoever you want to be. There are "x" amount of students who have absolutely no idea who you are.. and unless you do something about it, it will probably stay that way. A friendship is like a garden, you get what you put into it. You have to plant the seeds, work the ground, then after time, you can sit back and reap the benefits of the friendships you have formed. There are a lot of people who think that college is all about getting the best grades, getting that internship, or even going to the most parties. These are common goals, but what every student should aim for from a college degree is to graduate with the most possible connections. College is all about making friends, meeting professors or faculty, and making connections that will last a lifetime. A college experience is truly unique when a student has an uncommon goal.
Closing thought for the week:
"It is the sick person who really knows what health is."
Signing off,
JD
