I've sat down at this computer and tried to compose various blog posts for a few weeks now, but they never seem to get completed. I suppose it's because I haven't felt that impowered about the subject but today, today I found that subject.
I think it's right in saying that there is always that someone in your life who you wish you could just give a slap to; or possibly shake them until they realise what you're saying. Maybe I'm just lucky, but there are a couple of those people in my life.
I'm all for a cheery disposition, an optimistic outlook on life where everything is just rose-tinted but sometimes, you need to take a grim look at reality. You need a goal, a purpose. You can't amble through life, living from one day to the next; well you can, but then, what's the point? Ambling through life doesn't get you anywhere? Insecurity in your life is not fun! People can say that it's exhilarating and exciting but I would have to disagree. Yes, the risk is adrenaline pumping but not knowing where your next meal is coming from... no, not so much.
University is only a few months time and people are not taking it seriously. They're not looking at the bigger picture, the light at the end of the tunnel, the final destination. Come August when we get our exam results and they're not as good as you thought they were going to be, and you don't qualify for your University entry grades; what the fuck are you going to do?
Not to quote 'Phantom Of The Opera' or anything, but it's the point of no return okay? Well, okay, that's a little dramatic. You could return to college again, and go through the syllabus again, and take the exams again, and make new friends again; but really, who wants to do that?
I just don't understand - can't fathom - why someone who's intelligent, interesting and potential-filled wants to throw it all away and forget about it? What's the point?! What was the point in going through all those years of school, highschool, college; taking all those exams; slaving away on tons of coursework in order to eventually go, fuck it, I can't be arsed anymore!
What was the point? You could be anything you want to be, you could do anything you want to, yet you'd rather throw caution to wind and end up working in McDonalds - full time?
Yeah, okay. :/

I get what you're talking about. Not enough people are optimistic enough about education, and I think it's ridiculous that they'd give up - after ALL these years, when they're closer to the end - and do something lame like work at McDicks forever. It's not worth it, everyone is better than a full-time employee at McDonalds. Everyone has the potential.
