Curiosity and Me

The last two weeks were pretty hard time for me. I am taking 6 courses this semester and all the midterms and paper assignment showed up in the last two weeks. Even we had 2 long weekends but I didn’t fool around. I just spent every day doing the assignments and preparing for my midterms. I shouldn’t be struggling if I take less than 6 courses and of course I have the choice to take less. Is taking 6 courses a wrong thing? I can’t help asking myself this question.

However, it takes no time for me to figure out the answer. The answer is no. Even though I am so stressful but I am happy. I am happy because I can learn the things that I want to learn. I am curious about the things that I don’t know: Logic, American history, Spanish, Law, marketing and of course this class. They are all new to me and I am so eager and aggressive to learn all of them. I even have the plan to learn Japanese, Italian and French which are not requirement for a BBA degree.

People say “Curiosity killed the cat.” It is true that curiosity is killing me now but I will survive. It is very unlikely that you will mess up the things that you really want to do and have spent time on. For me, it is good to have curiosity instead of being ignorant. I feel so strongly that I am right and that’s why I write down “Happiness is the pursuit of truth” as my thesis in the paper. At first I don’t know why “truth” seems broad for so many people, but as I am writing this free post, I think I get it now. I have to use my own words to describe my feelings instead of just summarizing others’ points, even though they are fantastic.
