No more school = a lackluster me

If school were to end after this semester for me, I already know what would transpire.  I would become what I was before I began college; a lazy man-child with no direction or drive.

Before I arrived at Sac State, I was 21 and living with my parents in Vallejo, working at Kohl's doing multiple things for relatively low pay.  However, the worst part was that I was attending Solano Community College and felt like it was going nowhere.  I was lazy, sitting at home playing video games for hours on end.  

I had taken multiple classes and truly had no focus on where it would end up.  I thought I wanted to do computer science, but the boredom killed me.  Then I thought graphic design was up my alley, but my art wasn't up to snuff. 

I than took a journalism class that ended up changing my life.  I always thought my writing was good but wasn't sure how it would transfer over to journalism.  Thankfully it went well and my professor loved my stories.  That was all the push I needed to get off my butt and do something about my life. 

Working at Kohl's was not my ideal job.  Not that working at Kohl's is a bad job in general, just that it was not for me.  If anything it was adding to my lackadaisical lifestyle by working all day and coming home at night to just play games till 3 in the morning.  So having that class re energized me into making my self better. 

So i applied to Sac State and was accepted.  However, my plight was not finished.  I than had to take a math test because the math class that I took at community college was not enough.  I did the test, did very well and my college career, that I feel was the true start, began. 

Since being at Sac State, I have done well in classes, made wonderful friends and met the woman I now live with.  Sure, there have been ups and downs but what would college life be with out that?  We need those ups and downs to keep our life flowing after all.

I'm almost done with school to boot that having to finish now before it all ends would be a failure.  Getting into college is what has kept me on this good path, and kept me wanting to strive for more.  Prevailing through college can only mean one thing to me; I will succeed in something. 

Now I've succeeded in other things in my life, like my music career in high school and my soccer playing days.  However, this would be my greatest by far.  To me, having a successful college career means having a better life. 

I'm now 23 and the last two years have been the best of my life.  I still play video games a good deal, but I have put much more time and consideration into school and overall life work.  I even work at Kohl's again, the difference now is that I have other important things to work with.  So, no more school would mean no more fun, and I can't live with out fun.
