cheeseburger and beer epiphany
So the other night I was out with some friends drinking beer and eating a cheeseburger, when I had an epiphany: “This is normal!”
It was great.
‘Kay, let me explain: I have this weird thought process that I experience from time to time. It basically goes like this: oftentimes I think that my life is basically boring and that I’m not really living, that I’m waiting for something to happen to me, like something big, like being discovered for some outrageous talent that I have buried somewhere deep.
Other times I think that my life is too boring, too normal.
Both of these are 100% true because they are indeed the summation of my existence. I am in grad school (I graduate in May and wonder if I might have a case of senioritis–an equal amount of fear, trepidation, motivation, laziness and need to socialize and procrastinate) and so I don’t really feel like my life has started because I’m sort of half adult and half broke college student. I’m not married and I don’t have kids so as a woman I feel a little behind in the grand scheme of keeping up with the Jones’.
I suppose though it might be good to get a job to support kids and have time to hang out with another person outside of school, or the whole marriage-kids thing is never gonna happen.
ANYWAY, my point is: I was just chillin, actually discussing something mostly productive with some friends the other night and realized that I was normal. It was wonderful. I realize that even though I am really busy trying to make something of myself with the whole masters degree thing, I should also do things that are outside of that scope so that I can feel normal from time to time. It was nice to realize in that moment that I was doing it!
