Whats the meaning of life?
I mean lets be honest:
We work every week through school just to waiting for the weekend. That goes by before we even realize
We work through weeks and months just waiting for summer break. That goes by before we even realize
We work for years of school just waiting for graduation. From those 12 years of school just to get a useless paper.
We go back to school after that for even more years, just working for one again another piece of paper.
Then we're supposed to get hired at a 9-5 desk job until we work ourselves into retirement, but by that time we are too old to enjoy life.
The point of this, everyone, is don't be so worried about what's going on in your life, whether it be school, or work, or trying to find the love of your life. Just take a step back from everything and enjoy life where you are.
I have a quote I'd like to share with you. It impacted me heavily and made me think about this. It says this:
"Life moves pretty fast. If you dont stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

If you think of it that way, it seems like such a terrible thing to be alive. Please remember, you aren’t a machine but a man (person, but I wanted the alliteration). You don’t live to accomplish tasks, you live to love, to feel, to have passion and hatred, wants and worries. It’s not about efficiency. Don’t lose your wishes, your dreams, your hope. It feels like a lot of grinding, I know, and especially at 4th term the burnout just hurts.
…sorry, I have strong feelings on this subject and I’m feeling a lot of it right now.

we may not be machines but we are in (for no better way to describe it) the Matrix, or the Machine, however you call it.

*whispers* I don’t know anything about the matrix…

WASSSUUUUUUPPPPP?
How's it going?
Are you doing well?
Are you alright?
Did you ask her out?
Have you killed anyone in the past few weeks without me?
Have you started an army worthy of Mordor?
Are you human-ing in any capacity?
And, if not, can I help?

Pretty much the same. It’s been slightly more quiet than usual.
