I started my summer yesterday, and by that I mean I went to two different jobs. Hurray for school being over.
This morning I accepted a second internship which means I’ll be staying here for my wild and crazy summer of working 45 hours a week.
Which means I have to buy a car.
I was in a strange mood last night, because I started reflecting on the last year of my life. and I realized that I was no closer to accomplishing anything in my life than I was a year ago. Sure I’d knocked off another year of college, but it was pretty easy, so it didn’t feel like I did much. It was a little sad.
And then we had a big damn party, which reminded me about the things I did do this year. Which was have a lot of fun. And that doesn’t feel like an accomplishment. Laughter and dancing doesn’t really add up easily. But that’s basically what I did all year, and it took a little “Wolf Like Me,” to remember that.
Especially today when I realized I was going to be working full time for the next three months, probably hanging onto one of the internships into/through next year, buying my first car, being an adult, etc.
So all I did all year was fuck around, to be blunt. But that’s what college is for, I guess. And I won’t be able to live like this much longer, if ever again.
You’re only young once, I guess.
