A Weighty Decision

I've got nothing against my 3-year-old laptop. It may be obsolete compared to the wireless tablet PC's that are half the size with twice the memory, but that's ok. I'm the same way. As a senior, sometimes I feel obsolete. I look at groups of loud freshmen and smile knowingly: Just yesterday I was in their shoes. It seemed like college would never end. But little do they know, tomorrow they will be seniors with one foot out of the door.

Somehow during that short time, I morphed into an adult who is now responsible for making life-altering decisions. I suppose I've already made many important decisions, but the choices that lie ahead in the next decade will form a blueprint of the rest of my life. Where will I live? What will I do for a living? Will I get married? The future is both frightening and exciting.

Tomorrow I'll be thirty, and next week I'll have grandchildren. So as life flies by, always evaluate what you're living for. There's more to this life than what you see, an intangible truth that is worth seeking.
