Remember the good old days back in middle school (maybe even high school), when you had all the time in the world to do what ever you want over the weekend? I remember the days of playing football in the street with my buddies on Sunday afternoons. Getting geared up for a Saturday morning soccer game, making sure my shoe lases are double knotted! However, now my weekends are much different.
Today, I spent the majority of the day writing an outline for a speech that is due tomorrow that, in all honesty, I probably didn't do right so I wont get a very good grade on it. What was left of my time I used to get a little bit of my English paper done. Now hold on just a second, I didn't finish all of the weekend yet. My Saturday was simple, work. I worked all day on Saturday at the local Culver's, and when I say all day I mean all day. I started work at 12:00 in the afternoon; I didn't leave work until around 11:30 that night.
I don't have time for anything! Between working, school, and soccer, my life is booked. I have hardly anytime to sit down and do the things that I enjoy. Like watching football on Sunday, or go out with my girl friend on Saturday. But sadly these things are pushed aside for what is now "more important" matters such as school and work. Work, school; is this all that there is in life?!
The short end of the story is; I'm no longer in middle school. I'm in my second year of college. It's time to grow up, make some sacrifices, do what needs to be done to get successful in life. But is that whats really important? Is that what life is about, getting an education so I can get that top notch job? Or is it about settling down, raising family? What is life about?
