“Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination”
- Roy Goodman

I believe that we should all live life by this quote. So why do we put ourselves through so much suffering to get what we want in years to come? I love the college life but find it so pointless to take all of these classes that I won’t even need in the future. They only cause stress and frustration. With the stress that college puts on us all, we limit our time of happiness and sacrifice it in order to be able to get to our destination which we think we want. We think that we will be happy once we’ve reached our goals but we know that we are missing out on happiness while we are doing things that will help us achieve our goals.

Why do we do this? Why do we sacrifice our young lives with pointless things that we will soon forget when we could be making memories that will stay with us forever? Isn’t that what life is about? When we are old and dying, won’t we want to know that we’ve lived life to the fullest? When all we can do is sit and think, aren’t we going to want to have fun memories of our youth to look back on? I simply can’t understand why we have to waste our time with things that we truly don’t enjoy doing when life is so short…. so fragile.
