Another Semester Passes

Well, another semester has met its end. I'm sitting here, relaxing & studying, before my final exam, and reflecting on this semester has been hard to resist. I've learned alot of interesting things, inside and out of class, and I thought I might share. First, philosophy is a spiritually corrosive discipline that one must attempt to over come the corrosive effects of or lose all sense of the world beyond themselves. I've found that the more I study for my major, the more I find myself distraught with the way I've been living, have lived, the like. It's hard to face yourself and your past selves and know something is dreadfully wrong with them in varying, and often times similar, ways. I've also learned that people ultimately have short social memories. You can leave for a long period and if you haven't left a strong impact on people, they lose interest. However, leaving for a good while can help you learn who truly cares to see you when you get back. Lastly, and most important, I've learned life is hard alone, especially in college, and we should do our best to try and avoid doing it alone. That's all for now, I'll probably check back in after school starts in January. Until then, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
