New things and new challenges

5 years ago from now I just graduated high school, and was about to move to college. It wasn't something that I could prepare for; all the drama, the pretty girls, the friendships, the arguments, the social awkwardness, the classes, and most importantly, my growth. Looking back on my college experience, it was fun. I had a lot of good times, bad times, and although I would like to do something different, I wouldn't want to change the person I am right now so I don't have regrets. To be honest, all that I would want to do different, I'm doing now. There are a few things that I've wanted to do for a while now but I couldn't. For one I wanted to drive a manual car. Done. Going to own one? Getting there and working towards it. I've also been wanting to drive and experience the view overlooking the city. I mean I have, but it's always something new and exciting for me every time I go. It's something I can't get enough of and something I can't seem to get used to. Things change and if you knew me I struggled for a long time with alcohol (accepting it). And who says the struggles are not over? My point is, everything I've done, was a unique experience and a unique story. And although I wasn't able to do very much in the my 3rd and 4th year, I can proudly say I'm slowly pushing my boundaries again and having the chance to do new things. It may not be special to some of you because you've already gone through some experiences, but for me? I think it's all about perspective and how that can change your experience to be the one you want. All I gotta say is that life is interesting and new, different experiences are usually worth it. They just have to start with you.
