1. Professors want you to graduate - Well, I think in most cases this is true. I know I want my students to graduate and go on to do good things. However, today, in this moment, I'm feeling like this is the farthest statement from the truth. Generally speaking though, it's a little bit selfish too.....if you graduate and then do great things, the university you graduated from gets the credit for creating you. So, in theory, if you're doing good things, then yes, the professors should want you to graduate and go on to represent your alma mater well.
2. Life's not fair - True.....but sometimes the evil forces in the world unite and try to bring you down. That would be the stage that I'm experiencing right now.
3. I'm your mother, I always tell you the truth - Well, the truth according to mommy. Lucky me I have a mom who thinks I can pretty much do no wrong and am wonderful, but sometimes I wonder if that clouds her judgement as it pertains to me.
4. Think positive - Well, yes.....but think a little bit realistic too, right? The whole send it out to the universe thing.....I don't know about that, but I do think it's important to consider ALL of the possibilities so you can be prepared for those quick turns that are so common.
5. If it's meant to be, it will be - Lies! All lies! If it's meant to be, you'll make it happen. I don't think that we are really that powerless in our futures. I think if you want something, you have to work for it.
So that, little children, is my dark and twisty approach to life. Come back when I'm a doctor and maybe I'll be more happy and rosy!
I agree with your thoughts! Especially number 5. I definitely feel that if it's meant to be, YOU make it happen. ...you can't just hope something will happen, you have to go out and reach for it :)
