More than anything, I want to have a wife to love, kids to adore, and a family to protect. I want to wake up every morning with the satisfaction of knowing that I made the right decision during my hectic teenaged years. Maybe all of this is just the wakeup call that I so badly needed. As much as I want to help people, I’ve only got one life to live, and I might as well live it to the fullest. Guess it’s time to look at some good pharmacy schools. I just hope that ten years down the road, I can look back at this post and actually smile instead of having the blank, non-expressive look that I’ve grown accustomed to showing. 

Why did I choose to be in two 300-level courses this semester. Just why.

Really, really have to buckle down and study for Cognition today. Gah.

• Wake up early and go over Chem/Psych/Calc.
• Go to the gym for an hour and a half or so.
• Chem lecture.
• Expos.
• More work.

Yaaay for productiveness.

I’m pretty content.

Not “highschool” as every English teacher has painstakingly drilled into ours minds.

I’m gonna miss it. “Miss” isn’t even a word strong enough to describe it. I’m gonna yearn for my high school years with a burning passion after Thursday evening. I can’t believe it’s all over. Senior year has been the most enjoyable life of my year thus far. All the things that’ve happened this year will bring feelings of joy to me when I look back on them.

My mom always told me, “Enjoy high school. These’ll be the best years of your life.”

It took me this long to actually learn that there’s a lot of validity in her statement. I love my school. I love my graduating class. I love my class advisors. I love the awesome vice principal that’s been leading us all throughout these years. I love my best friends that I won’t get to see everyday anymore. It’s just all saddening to me. Just saddening how the best four years of my life will be just a memory to me now.

New life lesson: Savor every moment that I have and never let a second go to waste.

To work my ass off through college and to stride in every single course I have. I just have so much to gain if I succeed and absolutely everything to lose if I don’t. 

My aspirations for the next decade of my life:

• Graduate college with a GPA of 3.5-4.0.
• Participate in as many volunteer projects as I can.
• Conduct research projects throughout the entirety of the time I spend in college.
• Earn a 35 or higher (even though that’s a longshot) on my MCAT.
• Get into an accredited medical school. Right now, I’m aiming for:
  1. Harvard 
  2. UPenn
  3. Johns Hopkins
  4. Drexel
  5. Columbia 
  6. UMDNJ  
• Graduate from there and have enough financial stability to have the ability to pay for my brother to go through college so my parents can retire.

I’m just shooting for each individual goal as I progress forward.
ALL MOTIVATION. Let’s go.
