Everyday is a struggle. This is mostly due to the fact that I’m a graduating senior awaiting my release date. I have a job waiting for me as a Chemical Engineering for the Dow Chemicals in Freeport, Texas, when I’m done here. I have come to this place in my life where I have limited motivation. I took a quiz online and the results said “Unwilling to extend herself or exert undue effort (with the possible exception of sexual activity). Feels that further progress requires more from her than she is willing or able to give. Would prefer reasonable comfort and security rather than the rewards of greater ambition.”(www.colorquiz.com) I feel that the results a pretty accurate. I’ve been in this long haul for 5 years already, which is 5 different addresses, 5 winters with out the sunshine. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually this down or unenthused. I have ton energy, but it’s been drained over the years.

I’m not a fan of large quantities of snow. Every day it snowed this semester I had to remind myself that one day there will be snow no more. Every time I shoveled my car out of my parking spot, I would ask myself: “How did I get here?”

A college recruiter told my mom exactly what want she wanted to hear: “Michigan Tech is one of the top engineering schools, and 90% of the graduates walk away with a job.” That’s all the reason why my mom insisted I come here. What did I want...umm I dunno. I personally didn’t desire to go to college, so her choice was the best choice.
