Its been a while, in fact a pretty long time since I last updated in here and I mean in a personal sense as opposed to the usual thought-provoking – and hopefully – inspiring kind of entry; but here I am and I’ve brought thoughts with me too to write up, or rather type up on this digital sheet of paper; if the computer age is so awesome, I dare you computer to just absorb my thoughts onto this page for me so I need not type and that my hope for articulate literature may for once actually exceed what I strive for every time I do indeed type in here! Can’t do it? Thought so!
Hello everyone… anyone? …someone! There you are! So University life is soon escaping me. Will I miss University life I wonder? Ha, Hardly! Though I still in fact remember writing in here after my very first day of my last year only several months ago and here I am again, writing to where in essence I've already finished with exception of a few exams and a report to which I’m still hastily writing… in between breaks of course… very long breaks!
Two, wait! Three things people will go to University for; to study is the foremost but indeed the last in priority for some. To meet new friends and lastly, to party hard! Very basically put perhaps, so to hype up the University life a little, it’s where we go to start a new. Cliché I would say, but indeed it’s a fresh start. We leave the old selves behind and begin new lives, making new friends and hopefully keeping old ones along the journey which is to last a few years… they’ll go quicker than you care to realise. So if you hear the words, “enjoy the experience while you canâ€â€¦ my advice with a big fat exclamation mark… really do live it up! I’m glad to say I lived it up! Three years studying Advertising Management with Marketing; sound like fun? It was. I care not even to write my memories down for my words wouldn’t do the memories justice!
Times are soon changing though and out into the ‘real world’ we’ll all finally be, hoping that our three years of hard work (if you can actually call it that) will pay off by being able to find us an exciting and well paying job. For me though I won’t yet be looking for a job. I’ve got other priorities and yet all that’s on my mind is whatever does eventually happen, I know it will be for the rest of my life; that’s a lot to think about perhaps.
I do think about how things will work out, what I will be doing in two months from now, a year from now even. Will I be successful and happy; only time will tell, but… whatever I do end up doing, I have in the back of my mind the very thing I’ve wanted all throughout life so far, someone to live my life with; someone whom I can live my life for. One of the best places I find this is whenever I go grocery shopping. The families or young couples I see and the happiness of them doing something together which though small still has so much meaning. The adventure young children get when being able to tag along with their parents if not just their mom or dad, helping with the grocery shopping by putting the items in the shopping cart along the way. Little debates the young couples have about whether an item would be good for dinner, whether an item was actually needed because neither of them can remember whether they already have it, though still decide to buy it anyways.
When I’m grocery shopping and I see this, any priority I have disappears and this feels my only priority. I hope for the same kind of happiness where one day I may have a family of my own - a beautiful wife and darling children.
If in life I am blessed to have my own family, then this would be the best thing to have ever happened to me.
