Blog 5: Freshman Year Manifesto


I am the type of person who welcomes a challenge. All my life I have mostly been surrounded with people who have agreed with me. College has brought the opportunity that allows me to explore other thoughts and ideas. College does not only present the academic tests but also the personal tests. Why do you believe what you do? Is what you believe actually by your own account? These questions and many more will come in play not only in college but throughout our lives as we begin to truly live them outside of the realms of education. At the end of our four years (for most of us) what we thought we believed and who we thought we were are most likely not going to be the same as they are beginning of freshman year. Actually, I do not think that we will ever have a solid manifesto that stays the same all throughout our lives. I think this because I don’t know if there will ever be a point in our lives when we are done going through phases (from what I have observed). We are constantly adapting and going through phases. Being a baby to a teenager to an adult and then being old. I think that it is good to not have the same perspectives and views about life. That way when we do get old we will be able to look back and know that we explored it all and that no place of our mind went untouched. The beginning of college is when we get to recreate ourselves, our ideas and thoughts. For me it is the time to be free and unattached to ideas and thinking patterns.
