Tonight, we were THOSE people.
Tonight, we were loud.
Tonight, I lied down on grass and stared at the stars.
Tonight, we knocked down caution cones.
Tonight, we threw acorns at a building to listen to their echo.
Tonight, the world was beautiful.
Tonight, we were those people.
You know, those people who don't seem to care that its midnight and they have early morning classes. Those people who laugh at random things and only seem to have one volume level. Its been a long time since my roommates and I have been those people, and i've missed it. I feel like this year i've been struggling to find a balance between having fun and being more concentrated on my studies. Granted I should probably be more focused this year, given I have harder classes, but if you don't have fun you start to go a little insane. What i'm basically trying to say is that you have to have fun in your life, otherwise you start to shrivel up from all the stress and responsibilities that come with growing up. This year i've felt a pressure to "mature" past my "freshman ways". As a result, i've spent a lot more nights indoors doing random non-crazy things. Random things that really aren't super fun (in comparison to nights like tonight). What I learned tonight is that you don't have to stop having fun to mature. I'm not entirely sure what "growing-up" entails, seeing as i'm still in the process, but it has to include joy; it just has to. I'm still in the process of finding a good balance between school, work, and a social life (i've gone a little crazy this week...), but there is a balance and I will find it. People, if you're stressed, go have fun. Forget the crazy amounts of "stuff" you need to do for just one hour. Give yourself an hour to take in the world's beauty, you wont be disappointed, and chances are you'll go home will a little weight taken off your shoulders.
With love,
Carolina
