I spent the morning bonding with my
cohort. We started off with lunch at the mall in downtown Providence (even
though for a lot of us, myself included, it was more like breakfast). After
that, we split up: some went to the movies, some went shopping, etc. I was in the shopping group, but I’ll spare
you the details on that.
Skipping forward a few hours, we
all had a mandatory workshop designed to further inspire us to discover our
passions in life. It made me realize that maybe I’m not as far behind everyone
else as I had originally thought. For
example, one of the speakers tonight (Stanley, a junior at Brown) said that
when he first came to college, he had no idea what he was passionate about. All he knew what that he “ummm… likes Netflix
and Nutella.” Same. It was just so reassuring to hear that other people (especially those that are older than me) are dealing with the same problems I am. One thing that I heard tonight that I found especially
helpful is that you don’t need a singular passion to begin with; rather you should branch out
and experience a variety of new things! You just have to stay patient and go for it! It'll be worth it in the end.
