It's a requirement, you're there because you have to be. What one does beyond high school is up to them.
Next there's college. Of the ones who go, there are a few different types of groups of students. There's the ones who go simply because it's expected, and most importantly, already paid for. Then there's the ones who are there on purpose. Weather it be to kill time until they have found what they want to do with their lives, or the ones who already know what they want.
After college it's "Welcome to the real world" which is scary as shit. Especially for those without a clue as to what it is they want to be/do. The famous question asked of students and young adults, "What do you want to BE when you grow up?"
-Hold up. Is this a trick question? Seriously.
Life up until this point has been a series of classes & to-do lists.
Now we are allowed to just BE. To do whatever it is that you want. Sleep, eat, play. Repeat. Am I wrong? ;)
But it's those that take the lessons they've learned, and apply them to real life. Mapping out ones own future. Jim Carrey says in one of his famous inspirational videos that "our eyes are not viewers, they are also projectors"
Take a moment to let that sink in.
Until next time.
