When i sat down and reflected on my experiences as a Freshman at Tufts, i realized that i had never before really sat down and thougt about my experiences. It was really refreshing to be able to mull on these thoughts, something that i think should be done pretty often. There were just so many thought swimming through my mind, i wouldn't be able to write them if i wanted. I guess my thoughts slowly moved to my accomplishments this year and how i will be able to do more than i had this year. It ultimately went to thoughts upon freedom and how my views of freedom has changed over the year.
It felt good to really sit down and remember everything that had already happened to me during Freshman year. When i first entered college, i remembered thinking of all the freedoms that i would have. But as the year progressed i found that it wasn't the freedom that i had craved, it was the independence. Freedom was fine, but if i didn't have the ability to manage that freedom, it would be as if i had never had any freedom in the first place.
I guess in the end it came down to me realizing that freedom wasn't exactly what i thought it was, and how freedom comes with a price.
