"The Walk" Essay

As I walk, for some reason I find myself stopping around the scent of coffee. For some reason, it makes me...comfortable. I look outside, and i see a dark, gloomy world. Yet, I'm inside in my bright, warm environment.

I can compare this to where I am in my lfe right now. I am in my warm comfort zone. I am pursuing my education, having the time of my life. I realize realize everyday how much I have to be thankful for. My friends, family, and new experiences are what keep me content. Sitting here reminds me of the times I spent with my friends before we all went our seperate ways. I miss them, but I am happy to know they are doing well.

Outside of where I am right now, is the real world. A dark, shadowy place I am glad i'm not in right now. If I wsn't in school, that's where I would feel like I would be. Not knowing what to do or where to go. I am enjoying my college life.

Haha, I know what you mean with college being kind of comforting. It ended up being a lot more nurturing than I thought. I still am not too keen on the idea of being here for 3 or 4 more years, though.

I feel the same way. I'm not really an outdoors girl. There's just something that blocks everything else out. College is rather "chill" place though... there's a different set of stressors involved with this scene, but I dig it.
