Exactly two days away from the final day of real "classes" and unemployment is still looming ahead. Now, there are two options:
A) Freak the *&^% out and scramble to reach the Schulich ideal of "success" (i.e employment) by trying to fit into a CPG mold
B) See this whole thing as an opportunity... rather than getting comfortable earlier on, take the hard route and (as our good friend Buzz lightyear says) "REACH FOR THE STARS!!"
I'm opting for B. Yes, there are serious pressures to find a "real" job, but at the same time, I find myself wondering "what if i just ... "
- picked up and moved to a different country to live an adventurous life
- started my own business; everyone says work at a big company to see how it REALLY works.. but why not do my own thing?
- stopped doubting myself and really went balls-out to make my mark on this world!!
At 21 years old, each day fliess by...months are changing without me noticing and its time to do something...
i'm a little girl by design, but this world ain't holdin me backk!! HAhAHHAha madd corny!!
As of now:
- Applied to EVERY open sports position in Toronto
- Trying to find the balance of being 'annoying' and 'persistent' when it comes to connecting with people
Schulich, I thank you for the technical education and revealing early on the human condition (ppl are crazyyy!!) but I wish there was something more for non-CPG straightline students... where were the opportunities to make a dent in Sports? Entertainment?
I don't blame you. Instead, there's this massive bubble of motivation that keeps growing!! It WON'T pop buddy. nice try.
In a few years, I believe success will come to those who were patient and worked hard for their passion.
lazersss..

Work towards happiness and excitement!
Looking back on all these years--especially my birthday-- a little black cloud floats its way above my head and then pees out little raindrops...big debbie downer to think about the past 21 years; It seems like everyone else is doing cool things with their life while I coast through living a safe, typical asian-university student life. go to school, take notes, study, sleep, repeat. Everytime an adventurous globetrotter passes through and recalls crazy stories from their life, i get a bubbling sensation in the pit of my stomach. Excitement? Jealousy?
Regardless, my response is always the same "Whoa, cool!! I wish I could do something like that"
The truth is, we all CAN do cool things, but we choose not to. That's why for 2011 I vow to try and do 1 crazy thing a week.
Hold on, rewind... by crazy, I mean memorable/different/try something new/LIVE a little...
WEEK 1: Buy a random crazy looking fruit and eat it.
Object in question: DRAGON FRUIT
Verdict: It was pleasantly deceiving... it looked like it'd be super yummy but instead, it was ... different... Mind you in Barcelona people were eating it up like it was a tasty mango... maybe they're not in season right now.
SO I HAVE DECIDED FOR 2011 TO TRY AND BE HAPPY AGAIN. THIS INCLUDES RELAXING AND BEING BOLD :)
