Here we are again: the beginning of a new school year. Each new year brings a fresh start, new people and new opportunities. Yet every year, it upsets me to see so many people continuing to float through life with apathetic, passive attitudes. I understand if you’re like me and still haven’t found something you are passionate about, but everyone can at least attempt to find something that they care about. Last year, I joined clubs, talked to a lot of new people, and went out of my comfort zone. From only one year of exploring new things, I learned so much more about myself and my interests, and I look forward to expanding my horizons even more this year. It’s easy to take some time to do new things that you find interesting, and there are so many opportunities to take advantage of at a school as diverse and as large as this one. And when you actually do find the passion in your life, pursue it. Take risks. Have fun. Don’t be afraid of failure; see it as another opportunity to improve yourself. Sometimes when you’re exploring what you like you might end up doing things that you regret, but that happens to everyone. If you never go out of your comfort zone, you can’t expect to find much enjoyment out of life. While some new things might seem scary and daunting, you should still try to experience them and find out if they’re things you like. So take advantage of this new beginning, find something you enjoy and take risks.
