Cherish it

imageThis meme represents what plenty of people told me about high school.  While I was there I thought I hated it, and people told me wait till you leave you will realize how great it is.  Of course once it ended I missed every second. Not that college is bad or I’m not having a great time, my every day was much more simple in high school.  My first semester of college has been an experience.  I went to high school in the city for 4 years but I traveled.  Now that I live here it has been a whole different experience it’s as if I’m here for the first time discovering so many new things I love about the city.  My first semester has been a learning experience and eye opening.  I realize what work has to be done and how diligent you must be with your work you have to constantly be involved with your work, because if you are not falling behind is very easy.

Society tries to tell us not to “judge a book by its cover”.   Myself along with everyone else is guilty of judging people, places, and even books too right off the back.  The way you represent yourself on a day to day basis may change but every single day you have the ability to come off as someone else.   No one would treat their boss the same way they treat their best friend, nor would they dress,speak or act as if it was their best friend.  This isn’t any surprise, it’s just the way it is.  We judge people 24/7 on a day to day basis wether it is our professors, friends, roommates, or a random face on the street, before we know them we are automatically trying to piece together their character and that is the norm.  This is why everyone should be cautious how they carry themselves because if you do not like the way you are viewed there is a reason for it, you are not looking at yourself 24/7, its the millions of eyes around you. You have to portray yourself how you want to be evaluated.  Do not change who you are to please others if you don’t care, just remember that there is a time and place for everything.  A time and place to talk, eat, act, joke, even sit and stand differently, and we have to be able to recognize when these times are so we can leave the best impression possible, if we care too.
