Every first week of school starts like this, whether it was second grade or now in college. I come in anxious and hope for the best. Not knowing what to expect, I’m excited over the most minuscule of details. Every assignment sounds intriguing and I plan on completing each with the utmost amount of gusto. I even want to start reading each and every textbook, devouring the information until I’m an expert on each subject. Its all so new and scary, no matter where I go, but soon this feeling will fade. That’s what I’m afraid of. That’s what I’m dreading. When this new-ness wears off, all that’s left is a pile of work I will never get through. Initiatives I will never take. Things I just won’t do. That’s what I need to change. It all matters now. This year. Everything about this year. I refuse to let this year be the same.
