"rehashing" is a mess. recycling is ok, if credit's given where credit's due...hugmamma.
"Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
I totally agree with this post – I’m at university myself at the moment and I have no plan further than that, but constantly being hounded at what comes next. It’s annoying, I want to enjoy what I’m doing instead of constantly worrying. And what’s wrong with just waiting to see what happens?! Big believer in spontaneity.
I don’t think I decided on my major until I had to…Spanish. Why? Because it was my best subject. After that I went on for a 5th year in elementary ed, hoping to teach Spanish. I did not go on to teach, however, since I’d decided I didn’t want to babysit children and that’s what it felt like during my stint as a “practice teacher.” Part of earning my 5th year. I never felt college was a bad decision because it helped me get all the jobs I worked from that point on. Having a college degree meant I was a serious contender for employment.
So take your time, but know that whatever you end up doing with your life after college…it’s good. Nobody gets to tell you what to do with YOUR life, but you. After all, you’re the one who’s got to live it, no one’s going to do it for you, so yes, listen to good advice, but always choose what’s best for you. Your gut instinct won’t let you do it any other way. hugs as you go your own way…
I happened upon this high schooler’s blog because he “liked” one of my posts. He’s quite the good writer, and I especially liked what he said in this post so that I decided to reblog it here. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did…hugmamma.
Thanks for the reblog! This is somewhat awkward but I’m actually a girl. No worries though and I really enjoy your blog as well.
Sorry…I could blame it on senility. But I’d better not, since that may come back to haunt me. Better to take it like a man…even though I’m a woman. But you knew that…right!?
I’m not even going to lie, when I first read your comment, I didn’t get it. But after a quick Google search of the word “senility” and it all became clear. It really made me smile
I love your sense of humor!
Aw shucks. What if I told you I’d have loved being a stand-up comic…in my own living room. I’d have been too tongue-tied to get up on a stage. My daughter, a professional ballerina, is the one with guts. I’m the shy, retiring, bashful one. ha, ha…yeah, right.
And I thought I was the only one! You could ask my mother how extremely funny I am but as soon as someone else is around I shut down.
ha, ha! Closet stand-up-comics of the world…unite!!! Jay Leno, Conan Doyle, David Letterman…watch out!!! We may be after your jobs…
