REMEMBER ONE THING : Never give up on your dreams.

People who go to college are incredible. We go to classes. We read
and absorb and are comprehensively tested on heavy amounts of various
materials. We sleep very little. We drink ourselves into oblivion. We
kill ourselves with several types of smoke. We cough and keep sneezing.
Someone is always sick. Someone is always complaining. We become
attached to close friends. We smother each other. We lean too much,
but our friends don't mind. We think often of the past and want to
go back. We know we cannot, and soon we won't want to. We all had
separate lives, families, backgrounds and pasts. We live totally
different from how we used to live. We are frustrated and sometimes want
to give up, but we never stop trying, and our friends won't let us.
We disregard health. We eat awful foods. We are forced to think about
the future. We are scared and confused. We reach out for things, yet we
don't find them. We try to sort out our minds, which are filled with
studies, worries, problems, memories, emotions--powerful feelings. We
wander the campus looking for happiness, which can be found in a
friend's smile. We hurt--a lot, but a friend always tries to take the
hurt away. We keep going, though, because above all else, we never stop
learning, growing, changing, and most important dreaming. Dreams
keep us going and they always will. All we can do is be thankful that we
have something to hold onto, like dreams and each other.
