It amazes me how much of a bubble college truly is. Every time I leave Boston, it's as though I am awakened from a long, strange dream. We all get so wrapped up in our lives that we forget that their is a whole world of things waiting to be explored. I'm currently blogging live from the William's estate in Windham, Maine where I am melting into a fur rug in true Spring Break bliss laughing about people who buy out entire stores of food for pennies using their coupons. And we couldn't have dumbed life down any more.
We wake up late, eat breakfast, sip coffee, listen to music, take walks, breathe in the freshest air, drink so much drink, eat so much eat and then take the best naps. When removed from the life that is at Emerson College, enjoyment comes in the simplest forms: doughnuts in the morning, trips to Wal-Mart for sour patch kids, and Dollar Store shopping sprees. And while these things are foreign to me while I'm in college, these were actually the things that I grew up with. It's so funny to me that these things that I took for granted growing up have suddenly become these things that I take pride in. I take PRIDE in the fact that my town has five Wal-Marts. I take PRIDE in the fact that I had Krispie Kreme doughnuts or cooked my pancakes in canola oil.
So, I suppose it all comes down to the whole idea of just living in the moment. Never take a single thing for granted because you'll wake up one day and suddenly realize how wonderful it actually was. Or you actually have a moment of realization that your parents were actually smart. Or you'll realize that your friends are actually really beautiful people.
As E-strugs would say...
