So as I was sitting listen to President Mooney I realized that a minute ago I had been so unbelievably tired and now I am truly listening to what she was saying. When she talked about exploring my options at a liberal arts college I immediately thought about how I have such a support system in which I can choose and change my major. It also made me think about how the classes I am taking will in fact make me a well rounded person. But to get there I have to get through....BIO!!! BOO! She talked about the fetal pig and all I wanted to do was gag. But what struck a chord with me most of all was that she and the other students did no know what they wanted to do right away. That made me feel very relieved. Although I was still nervous by the amount of activities they were involved in. Anyways, that is besides the point. I truly feel now that I need to be okay with taking a variety of classes, of trying new things I would not normally think I'd do. I think in this way I can expose myself to different ideas and get out of my comfort zone. For I think college is doing just that. I think it is that high board in the swimming pool that everyone is afraid to jump off of. I want to dive right in. I have decided that, that is my goal and what I really need to work on. That and getting my schedule and time management in order! But in the end President Mooney's talk helped me see that I need to take a chance and dive in not only in meeting new people but the knowledge that is at my disposal here!
I think your comparison of diving into the opportunities of a liberal arts college is very creative. Since there are so many options it's hard to know that when you take that jump your not going to drown. However, I think that it's worth taking the dive!
