Stay hungry, stay foolish. -- Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Now is the time to experiment. In college we have no commitments, flexible schedules, the energy that only people below legal drinking age have. And experiment we do -- we experiment with ideas, with friendships, with love, with alcohol, with drugs, with sex, with doing laundry.
But what about experiments on life?
Sometimes it seems that "quality of life" is just thrown by the wayside here -- ∞ hours of work will trump all, nothing else matters, not friends, not sleep, not LIFE.
Perhaps this is an inevitable consequence of the environment we're in. But I figure that, at the very least, we can mess around a little, mix things up, and see what happens.
In eight hours, my friend/suitemate Kenta and I will run to the top of East Rock, meditate for a bit, and then run back home. Silently breathing in the morning air has to do something good for you, right? We'll repeat the same thing every Tuesday and Thursday for the next few weeks, and then go from there. Perhaps replace that routine with another one, add on others, who knows.
Catch you later.
