My Pink Brick Road

College kids are a bit like these characters, as silly as that may seem.  We are in search to find something else, but each one of us are different. Some may be wanting intelligence, others in search for love, almost all of us missing home, and everybody striving for courage! 

Why does moving on make people so crazy? College, i think is a part of the pursuit to find oneself. I walk around campus and stare into the faces of unsettled souls. Everyone is in search of finding someone or something else (a thing greater than themselves). I too am a victim of this feeling, which brings discontent. I guess wanting something more isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it sure does make you re-evaluate why you're doing what you're doing. 

If you leave college the same person as you were when you started... something went wrong in the journey to find YOU. Flora Whittemore once said, "The doors we open and close each day decide the life we live." All of us are feeling out the right path to take, and hoping that the door we're knocking on, will bring us contentment. No one can ever guess what's behind that door, or even if it's the right door to be at, but cheese n' rice can't we TRY?! Nobody ever said that finding our way in this world is easy. If it were easy, there wouldn't be that great feeling of accomplishment at the end. After all, not everyone has a yellow brick road guiding them, but that also doesn't mean we can't lay the bricks ourselves! (i personally would have chose pink... but that's just me) 

Goodnight to all you scarecrows, tin men, dorothys, and lions. I hope you find what you're looking for.
