Time Flies

     Feels like just yesterday we all started school. When our parents drop us off for the first day and the feeling where you think people wont like you. But the moment you walk in the door all of it goes away and its just what ever. The whatever feeling sticks around even through college. Most people don't realize why we go to school or whats the point in it. To learn a bunch of math that wont be used or a bunch of English words that have simpler meanings? To look good on paper?

     School was never like how we wanted it. All about fun and playing around with our friends. Sure kindergarten was like that and maybe even pre school but I wouldn't know I never went to pre school. Then comes jr high school and in our minds we are bad asses. Then before a blink of an eye high school comes along. The best experience of our lives but also the worst. The place we make memories and enemies at the same time. Sometimes we all wish our high school experience was like those portrayed in high school musical. Fun and full of activities and cool people that break out singing every 10 minutes. The one time we think we find some kind of true love but turns out to be nothing more then a figment of our imagination. The 4 years of our lives that we will carry for the rest of our lives no matter bad or good. But it isn't until the senior year where people realize... holy shit I fucked up!

     But the sad part is some people still don't learn even through college. Some people might have the age of a college student but not the mentality. We are all on for the ride even though we don't know where the ride is going. All we know is what kind of car it is and how much it cost. That's why most people don't finish college or don't make it in life even after college. No one thinks about their future and where the car is rolling. They start the car rolling and set it to neutral and forget about it not caring if it leads to a mansion or to a cliff, "People don't plan to fail... they fail to plan."

     But to many people it all doesn't matter its ten or so years away. But look how fast eighteen years past by, entering the public school system not knowing what high school even is and before we know it were in it. Everyone wants to be rich and just sit back for the rest of their life relaxing. The only problem is people don't become rich by relaxing and money technically doesn't grow on trees. They plan ahead and think about their future no matter how far or how close it may seem. But the secret to success and to all the fortune is simple, to endure. Endure the roadblocks or speed bumps that might destroy your axle. Just keep going and think before you stomp on the gas after eighteen beers. Figure out what the future holds and act on it. "Failing isn't making a mistake... but refusing to fix the mistake."
