Before it’s too late.

A few days ago, my sister told me she got into a graduate school in New York. She’s a real foreign language fanatic and she never stops watching shows in Italian, so this was a great opportunity for her.

Previously, she went to college at the same university I’m going to now. We’re only two years apart so we’ve definitely spent some time together there. Heck, we even lived in the same dorm together.

She’s been there for four crucial years of her life. Not just academic years, but drastic up and down years. We went to protests together, Beyonce concerts together, we even dabbled in aimlessly riding the campus bus late at night together. It seems as though she just got the hang of navigating the campus yesterday. So in a brief conversation with her, I asked, “are you going to miss it”?

Her response — “No”.

That one-word response reminded me of a valuable lesson about change that no one should forget.

It’s so hard for people to change something in their lives.

I get annoyed if I have to change my Twitter password, imagine how I’d be if I had to make a serious change in my life — Not fun at all.
