sky's not the limit


It is not length of life, but depth of life. - Waldo Ralph Emerson

Lately, I've been listening to amazing or really extreme anecdotes from my friends about things that have happened to them and I can't help but get extremely jealous. Upon listening to their stories, it all sounds really fun and crazy but after a while I start to wonder to myself, am I living the right way? I mean, college life is all about partying, having fun, enjoying your years before you have to really grow up, get a job, and all that stuff. But I feel as though I have already skipped my fun years and went straight to the responsibility years. All I ever do, if not catching up on sleep, is studying for school, actually being at school, or working my butt off while my friends are out on dates, at parties, or having a great time. Has my life really come to this? Have I really become a person who lives vicariously through someone else? This thought alone has been tearing me inside out and I really don't know if I'm handling my life right. To me school is very important but so is having fun and being around my friends. I need someone to tell me that I'm doing okay, almost as much as I want myself to believe that I'm doing okay.
