Who do you think you are?

Why have I been asked this question so many times this past month? I don’t know who I am yet, isn’t that the stage we’re at in life now? All confused and stuff? Anyways, with regards to college, I guess I’m also here to learn about the world, become an intellectual and what not, but I do have a goal. I’ve had it for years now and I think that’s the thing that’s been pushing me this entire time. I’m not getting a degree to make money (although my anthropology professor assumes we are all foreigners here for one purpose- to get a degree and start making money!). Is it really unusual for someone to get a degree so they can start doing what they love? In my case, it’s saving lives, literally. But that won’t be happening for a while. So what I should be focusing on right now and worrying about are my flaws, the ones that would hinder me from ultimately acheiving my goal. When I get into the routine of something, I usually forget how important it is and view it as something mundane that tends to eventually bore me- homework. You know how many things I can find to do that I know are unimportant but that nevertheless assist me in delaying homework time? I decided this year that’s going to change (I actually say that at the beginning of every year but I started taking action this time). I said my goodbyes to Facebook, and I’m still trying to work on cutting down the number of shows I watch (and once you start watching a series it’s pretty tough stopping in the middle). They also say that the friends you make in college are your friends for life, so I’m hoping that works for me. I also grew up in a community with not much diversity so seeing all this diversity is sort of a cultural shock- but I love it. I feel much more independent in college, I actually feel like it’s all still a dream and that I’m about to wake up and start a new year as a 13th grader at Magen David High School. I just hope I’m adjusting well, I guess I’ll really know when I get some sort of grade on some sort of assignment. I definitely know that my first year will change me because by the end of this year I will learn to work efficiently, with no need of a can of redbull. Am I rambling?
