2.) Successful
(Drake)
About
a week before college started I wrote:
“I think about all that I’ve lost and all
that I’ve gained and I just don’t know what to think anymore. It seems like I’m
losing that simple touch to connect with myself anymore. I used to be able to
just sit down and let my hand do all the writing. Now I just sit down and stare
at blank pages not knowing what to say or where to start. Here lately I haven’t
been able to really think much. All I can hear my thoughts say is “I just want
to be successful”- it’s a song by Drake.
It’s so true though, it’s all I want.
Success. Success everywhere I look. But I know there’s still another 4 years of
my life ahead (at least) to prove it-success. I know all eyes are going to be
on me for a while now. It’s true because I’ve felt everyone, including my
cousins pass me the torch. I know, it’s time for me to make something of myself.”
I
really think that this feeling followed me into my first week of college as I
walked to and from classes listening to this song. It’s been my underlying
drive.
