We were in such a rush to get our driver license, to legally drink, to graduate, and basically get to someplace else. I haven’t even officially started my career and I’m already thinking about how I can get promoted. I definitely think it’s our generation. We want instant gratification. We grew up in a world where everything had to be fast. The cars, the internet, the drugs of choice, the way we work, the way we socialize. I recently heard of people (younger than me) on eHarmony looking for a partner. Has it really come to that point? Where people in their early twenties cannot wait to find their significant other the old fashioned way?
What exactly are we rushing to? What are we expecting at the end of the tunnel? I understand that it’s important to reach your goals in a timely manner. But what are we sacrificing to get there? I feel that I’m so busy rushing from home to school to work to home to school to work. Lather, rinse, repeat… you get it. And I’m so determined to get out of school, into corporate America and up the ladder. I’m missing out on some experiences. Mostly those carefree things that make you feel young. But who am I kidding, I’m that young anymore. I just might just be where I’m supposed to be. I feel like a hustler. And maybe that’s a good thing.
I believe that I’m on the right track. KNOCK ON WOOD. I hope my plans work out! Maybe the world isn’t rushing around that much, maybe it’s just me. Maybe I just have that driven mentality. Now that I look at it, I see all these people I know putting their future on hold because of certain circumstances or loitering around in the college limbo that some people get sucked into and I’m happy that I’m in a rush to get somewhere and be somebody.
These are the days. They always were. -K
