In the first two weeks of orientation, I reveled at more parties than I usually would in two months. In the weeks following, I joined more clubs than I can count on my hands. I have signed up for more events than my 24-hour day could reasonably accommodate, while managing classes and a study load. I have spent more money in a week than I would in a month.
There always seemed to be a temptation to pursue every new experience available, to expand my mind to corners I have not explored and to believe that opportunities were only limited to the range I set for myself.
Currently, I seem to have achieved some level of balance in my Energizer Bunny life. These include my diet (
Uris Deli sandwiches and salads have carbohydrates, protein and fiber), health (technically, dancing from midnight to 2 a.m. means I have had two hours of intense workout), social life (meeting 20 new people in one hour is like having my social life driving at the speed of a Ferrari) and work (which sometimes means sitting in the
library winking at and chatting with friends for three hours while multitasking on my laptop).
However, I resolve to continue being tempted. Despite the stress of being stretched thin over everything I want to dip into, I believe that the more choices I face now and the more open I am to opportunity, the more quickly I will uncover the shape of my future and what I could be.
