People always say that life is never what you expect it to be. Yet for some reason we go through life expecting it to meet our expectations. Then when it doesn't we wonder what happened, why our life sucks, and why it can't be how we envisioned it to be.
Except that we've known all along this would happen.
With that said, I'm once again learning this same lesson. Plans don't work out, people surprise you, and often you surprise yourself. Funny that currently all three seem to compile into a huge stack of homework labeled "Things You Learn After College 101" by Professor Real World.
You're probably assuming that all of these lessons are difficult, trying, and depressing. In part you're probably right. Homework is never fun.
But I think I've been pleasantly surprised by the lessons that ARE interesting, creative, and challenging. It makes you question what you know, who you know, and proves that you might be wrong...in a good way.
I'm kind of hoping I'm wrong about a lot more things because that means my learning curve will continue to grow. And that's kind of exciting.
Expecting my life to be unexpected.
