I think this picture describes most of us when we were younger. We thought that we were ready to enter the college life and we just couldn’t wait. When I look back, I said this a lot: I can’t wait to go to college. Now I’m saying the complete opposite which is I wish I can go back to high-school. It’s a major transition from lenient scheduling, not-so-tough grading, and laid back homework. I expected a different kind of experience, but not one filled with endless papers and sleep deprived nights. Even though it is a hectic transition, I like how I am adapting to it and how it is changing me. I started becoming more conscious about my work and I expect the best of what I do. Even though I miss the times where I was practically worry free, I am excited for the experiences that I will face in Baruch.

Why are we so impatient?

We can’t wait for this.
We can’t wait to get that.
We can’t wait to finish college.
We can’t wait to get those shoes.
We can’t wait to find love.
We can’t wait to have this job.
We can’t wait to find happiness.
We can’t wait…to age.

But why are we so impatient?

Why are we always looking to fast forward?
Why are we addicted to instant gratification?
What happened to patience is a virtue?
It’s like patience is looked down upon while impatience is praised.
It’s like we’re never satisfied with our current state of living and when we’re sitting one day we’ll reminisce and start wishing.

I wish I can go back to work.
I wish I can go back to college.
I wish I was young… again.

But that STILL doesn’t answer why we’re so impatient.
And the answer to this question is unique to every person.
No, this is not an excuse for me not to give you the answer because… I don’t know the answer myself.
