I’ve caught a cold and I might catch a fever too, because every now and then I feel like I’m getting very slightly feverish. Hmm…maybe I’m hoping that I’ll get fever too. I’m not looking forward to going to college tomorrow, and the strange thing is that there’s no reason not to, really. Sure, there’s no real reason to look forward to going to college, but throughout the last three years, there rarely ever has been. So why now, after three years at college, am I suddenly waiting for it to be over?

I wonder if I’ll miss college life when I pass out. I’m sure I’ll miss the people, my friends mostly. I’ll miss my classmates and the other weird creatures that inhabit the college from about 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM everyday. I’m sure I’ll miss the bus ride to and fro, the 1+ hour I spend listening to music, sitting beside people I consider friends, people I genuinely like. Heck, I might even miss the specimens we have come to call lecturers. Will I miss the walls, the atmosphere, the dress codes, the management faux pas, the shambolic administration, the hilariously late announcements from the library, etc?

Then again, I think that college life is like life itself. It’s unfair, it’s got its share of days which make you feel like you just want to stay in bed, and its share of phases when you can’t wait for tomorrow to arrive. Its got more than its share of injustice, trials and obstacles, heartache, pain, sorrow, but in the end, it’s all worth living. At every transitory point of life, I’ve looked back on what I’m leaving behind, mostly with the fondest memories. I used to think that the human brain has an amazing capacity to remember the best of memories and forget the hurtful ones. Now I’m not so sure what to think. I’ve seen people remember nothing but the worst of their past. Oh well, I’m rambling now, and since this is my blog, it’s my right to. You’re just unlucky that you’re reading it.
