Everything and Nothing

Tuesday, November 29, 2016



The title “everything and nothing” is totally open to interpretation. You can give it whatever meaning you want to. Just as the title is ambiguous, so is this short article. Maybe, this is me being very “artsy” but maybe this is me being uncreative (insert emoji that is thinking). I would like to believe this article is the former.
So, if you will notice the title is not in uppercase. It is literally a reflection of my feelings and my life right now. I feel ambiguous, I feel like I have everything and nothing. Confusing, right? Let me confuse you even more.
The real purpose of this article is to talk about nothing and everything. I am out of high school now and have been thinking about it a lot of late. High school was a little bubble. It prepared me for everything and nothing.  I think whoever is reading this (hopefully someone will read this LoL) may still be in high school or is just fresh out of it.
I placed myself out of the university situation and out of the high school situation. I was a floating body watching the young teens come to my university for open day. Here is what I realised.
Because of the bubble that is high school you feel like you are everything. But really you come to university (which is not even the Big Bad World I tell you) and you see a real glimpse of life and realise that you are kind of nothing and that you are this little fish. No one even cares about your leadership positions or the little high school dramas. You feel everything and nothing. (Can I just say you are NOT nothing. Everyone is priceless and should have some self-worth but I am just feeling what uni has me all up in my feels about.) Maybe it is the fact that I submitted my first assignment and there are 534 of us on that particular course which is shocking for someone who is coming from  Upper 6 at Arundel with 15 people in a class. I’m just a human and I am sharing, not my “culture shock” but my “academic shock” with you. That is all this article is about really. I lied to you when I was trying to sound “artsy” at the beginning. The confusion with this article reflects my university career thus far. My life is the sinking titanic at the present moment. And kids I just have one thing to say about university:



 PS.  regarding advising you “not to do university”. It’s just a joke. Get your degree please. Not all of us are Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. And even if you think you are Bill gates…he dropped out of Harvard. So please go get that degree.
