A lot has changed this year. I've changed my major, I've started an organization, I've joined a sorority and not going to lie... I'm overwhelmed. About a week ago, someone asked me what I like to do for fun and it struck me... I don't know. I can't tell you the last time I was bored... the last time I had free time to do something for myself. I have always been busy with something- whether it be for FLEX or for Alpha Chi Omega, or maybe I'm just busy with some chemistry homework- it's hard. I used to be the kind of girl who went out and ENOed at the local park and counted the number of shooting stars I could see at night but now I'm wondering if I do anything for fun.
But today I came across an article that described exactly how I felt. These things ARE what I do for fun. I chose to make an organization. I chose to make FLEX my life. I chose to expand my leadership through this organization. I chose to go through recruitment. I chose Alpha Chi Omega. I chose to meet over 200 girls who will be a part of my life forever. I chose to change my career path to nursing. I chose a major so that I can be a part of something bigger than myself. I chose to invest my time in these things.
I advise all of you overcommitted college students to read this article.
I think sometimes we forget how lucky we are- how good of lives we have been given. We are so lucky to be a part of all these things. We've forgotten how to enjoy the busyness.
