Keep The change

         

Change is an inevitable part of life that we all have to face, however the beauty that only the few see in change is the way that it sneaks up on you leaving you with little or no time to react. 

Change is inevitable, transforming you into the earth slowly revolving around a big scary ball of fire that when looked at from a distance turns out to be something beautiful and warming, the sun.

 That sun is the moment of self definition when you are found in the rawest state of being acting only on instinct caught off guard you are able to make a decision based on no logic or reason but morality and heart. 

Although when change is a slow coming knowledge all raw intent is lost and replaced with possibly the worst ingredient known to the human race, self doubt.

 Take going back to college for instance, a change that can be tracked to the calendar date slowly breaking away all the purity and nonchalant mannerisms of the summer.

 As if going through the process of growing up all over again as the days slowly creep closer to the first day of school you lose more and more of your childlike innocence.

 Which like all empty places in this over populated world is kindly replaced. When it comes to college the void is not only filled with the human populace but also rational and the burden of no longer being blissfully unaware.

 Drastically relatable to knowing the day of your death each day you do have left is tainted with this foreseen inevitability. 

Going back to college is no longer a rite of passage but instead a rare and almost unobtainable goal. 

With extensive increase in tuition and drastic decrease in the job market you are in a sense putting all your eggs in very unstable basket. 

However to make matters worse you often times are not the only one sacrificing but also the people you love. 

Take parents for example most of which in today’s economic state are having problems keeping up with their own bills are investing all the funding they can for a brighter future for their children.

 On top of these undeniable pressures are the many self sacrifices such as dietary needs and personable belongings that one must sell to pay to obtain class books after finally finding a way to pay the ghastly tuition that just increased ten percent within the time it took the check you handed in to process. 

That is if you can pay the tuition in the measly 14 days they give you after registering for underwater basket weaving which like the only other 3 open classes you received will ensure that you spend much more than four years trying to graduate and in turn means of course even more tuition to pay.

 In the end if you can make it out in one piece you can continue working the three jobs you acquired to pay for a piece of paper that will make sure everyone knows that you are over qualified for the jobs you once again maintain to pay off the debt you racked in to achieve said goal. 

Although there will be some who make it out of the storm and it will be the combination of the big scary ball of fire and the constant rain that creates the rainbow leading them to their better future. 

So to those who believe Asher Roth’s mythical reality of college you are mistaken college is a war zone and among the ashes of casualties most can find their pay check for the next ten years.
