Fall Semester STARTS!

From my family, my background, my high school... they make it seem so easy to get into college. Yes, it is easy to get into college, but staying in college is not quite as simple.

I know quite a few people who will not be going to their college in the Fall.

That's just a big decision and move. I'm not sure how I'd be able to make that change. I know I'm pretty well grounded on finishing college, but that's only because I know what I want to do. And for many people, that's the tough part. But, sometimes... I feel like I'm the coward... the failure... because I can't get myself to do take that sort of initiative. To me, finishing college is my safety net. I'm too scared to try to go out and do something else right now.

I'm envious of the people who are able to give up their college education or make the lifestyle change and strive for something that might be even better, without killing themselves over regret and hardships...

I feel pretty grounded in finishing uni too but only because I want to study medicine after my current degree. I somehow have this hunger to learn new things but when I do have to learn it, I find is extremely difficult. I start new things but never seem to finish. I guess I'm the coward to, I have dreams but I never seem to have the courage to go for them =S
