This is where life begins

We’re writing a definition essay in Comp. I’m writing about the difference between being alive and living.

I started filling out college applications today. I am scared of growing up. I am scared of doing what I have to do. I am scared of the decisions I make today and how they’re going to affect my tomorrow in ways I can’t see.

Ryan and I are…managing. Surviving. Things have been difficult, what with the gigantic fight my parents and I got in a couple weeks ago, but for now, we’re making it.

I’ve been getting headaches every day for the past two weeks. Stress related, I think; I started getting them the day after afore-mentioned fight. It is time for something to change [it is time for a eucatastrophe] and I don’t know where to start the reformation.

good job on the surviving, hope that means you are living and not just being alive. no matter what your decision is… college is a good start.

I’m graduating from university this year, and freaking out. I’m starting to fill out grad school apps, and it feels just the same as applying to undergrad. Good luck.
