lessons from college (part 1 of many)

The hardest thing (about life so far anyway) is not getting into that med school (the one with the 2% admit rate), that internship, that job (yes, the one everyone seems to want), or even figuring out what it is exactly that you do want. All of that comes with time and a bit or a lot of hard work. Luck, also. The things that threatened to ruin my life (failed midterms and rejection letters) didn’t seem so important even a week later. The hardest thing, and I speak for myself and my own character flaws, is simply being happy with what I have been given. Because somehow contentment seems synonymous with stagnation, and well, its just so much easier to keep being greedy.
