As I have anticipated, my junior year will be the highlight of my academic career at Cornell, just like I have expected sophomore year is the dark ages of school for me. (I base this on my four years of high school, which showed that year two was the worst and year three was the best.)
Since returning to Cornell for the spring, I have engaged in more things on campus than I every had before. I am continuing working at the Help Desk, I have been participating in several campus-wide events, and I have been enjoying my classes and the work I do for them. I even made time to go back to practicing music. And I have been happy.
Maybe it's my sleep schedule. Maybe it's the fact that I'm living on West Campus. I don't really know why. I just know that I have no reason to be angry or upset with my life or those around me and that I am happy to be alive. No, I am not crazy, and no, I am not dying. I just found more reasons to laugh and smile. Maybe it's my friends. If so, thank you. Truly.
I came across this article on Psychology Today, "The Art of Now: Six Steps to Living in the Moment". As I was reading it, I found that I had been living the lifestyle the article had suggested. Wow...
