This is Water

This is it. The time is finally almost here. I have officially started my last semester as a high school student, and graduation is only but a few months. I have been waiting for graduation since midway through my freshmen year. Senioritis really started early with me. "This is water." This speech offered some very valuable insight. First of all, it reminded me that adult life is not really all that glamorous and that high school and college will more than likely be the most exciting times of my life. Because of that, I should really cherish these moments rather than anxiously wait to move to the next phase of my life. Adult life is pretty much one big never-ending cycle of tired routines. From this speech, I basically get the impression that life is boring, dull, mundane, and filled with stress every area. Life is pretty much going to suck, but it doesn't have to suck... if that makes sense. The key to overcome this frustration with adult life is to simply use our minds and think. Instead of thinking negatively, think positively. Rather than get fed up with strangers we do not know, see things from a different perspective and put yourself in their shoes. I might think life is boring and stressful right now, but it only gets more boring and more stressful as I get older. The only way to get out that rut is to continuously and actively choose to think positively. This is very good advice that I can apply to my life right now and save for my bag of tricks later. When the going gets tough the tough get going. There is not any time to waste moaning and groaning about the negatives. It's easier said than done, but focusing on the positives is a must.
