As the New Year approaches, there’s more and more priorities on my mind about some New Years resolutions:
1. take more initiative on important matters such as LSATs, internships, and studying and academic and career opportunities that present itself
2. save money
3. think of how people treat you and reciprocate accordingly
4. don’t take anything for granted and always be appreciative of what you receive
Also, keeping in mind that the New Year is approaching, it reminds me that the new quarter is starting and I need to start organizing stuff Beta wise as the new pledge educator. In regards to that, I’m excited yet nervous as to how I’m going to handle the new kids for next quarter. Whenever I think about it, I remind myself of my philosophy of ‘controlling your state of mind is to control your state of success’. Being a not-so-great public speaker, I have to learn how to control my nerves and get over it. Being a human being is learning how to adapt and I sure as hell will do that. Other than organizing my thoughts and planning things as a pledge educator, I’m pretty excited for the New Year. I’m hoping to get great grades, provide wisdom for the new kids, and be merry with close friends.

Lately, I’ve been feeling things have been moving a little too fast. Time inevitably makes things come to an end, and that’s the sad truth. Recently I’ve been reminiscing my first year of college, my second, and then my third. The result of which hit me so hard, a sudden surge of fear, loss, and regret came out of nowhere. Those feelings caused me to not quite know how to feel about: graduating, friends who are graduating one or two quarters earlier, social relationships and among other things. Matter of fact is, many people will tell you that things are moving whether or not you like it, and you should just suck it up…
…is that how it’s supposed to be? Is that how you’re expected to survive these kind of emotional/mental griefs? Though it may be the only way to deal, it’s harder than it sounds.
Won’t someone stop this train…? :/

Today, I rewatched the film “Closer” starring Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, and Natalie Portman. I watched the film when it came out, which was about 6 years ago, making me 15 at the time. I remember watching the film and thinking how screwed up the characters that these actors/actresses played. The deception and mind-fucks in the relationships involved…I could hardly imagine happen in reality. Now, rewatching it, I almost take a guilty pleasure in watching, perhaps because I have a certain understanding about it. Almost too much of an understanding. It scares me how much I have matured in such a short amount of time. After the movie, I found myself relating to the main character “Dan”, played by Jude Law, probably because in a particular way I have felt his pain, however certainly not to the extent displayed in the film.
The film has made me ponder thus:
We all experience situations in life where you may make the wrong decisions. But you don’t fully realize the consequences those decisions until a certain point…when many words and different feelings are exchanged after. You start to realize everything is a lesson and comes full circle. C’est la vie.
