Making the Best

“Hitch your wagon to a star.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most universities in the US are going through finals week right now. Here at Drexel, we have 5 more weeks until finals, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Not because I’m scared of finals or not prepared, but just because I really, truly don’t want this academic year to end.

A lot of my peers can’t wait for summer break. They’re excited to go home, and get away from here, and frankly, I don’t get that at all. Of course I want to go home and be warm and with my family and friends, but I’d rather it be a week or two of break and then come back and get back into the moment I’m in right now. We’ve fallen into a routine of sorts, I’ve gotten used to that and I love my life so much right now.

People are always complaining that college is boring, and there’s nothing fun to do, and it’s all work, and I really don’t get that. I literally do not have any free time at all, I don’t even have a second to spare to think that I’m bored and not having fun. Between classes (which are super fun because I love my major) and clubs/other activities related to school (also fun) and hanging out with friends and working on projects (so fun) and everything, I’m filled right up to the brim. Any moment I have is spent exploring Philly, finding fun events on campus and in the city and cool things to do (there are too many of them to be able to do them all.)

So, if you’re thinking your life sucks and you’re constantly bored with nothing to do, maybe you aren’t looking hard enough. You’ll never get an exciting life if you stay in bed all day. Go out. Meet people. Explore.

Love,
