Lately I have been thinking a lot about my life, and the future. I tend to put most of my effort into studying and other academic related activities. I've noticed my friends, and how much fun they have and how spontaneous they are; sometimes I wish I were that way. Instead, I will always be the responsible "good" one.
I always do things the way everyone expects me to do them, which is the responsible way. I always do my homework and go to class. I don't drink or do drugs (not that I have any interest). I listen and do just about everything my parents tell me to. I am always at work on time, and usually cover other people's shifts with little or no notice. I almost NEVER break the rules.
I always thought this was the "smart" way to live, but I look at my brother who has grown up in the same house as me, with the same rules, and we are so different, yet have similar goals. He too is an honor student with medical aspirations, but he disregards most of the household rules, and lives a completely unstructured life. I used to think it would catch up with him, the grades would start slipping (lack of studying) and he won't make it into the universities I got accepted to. Only this year he's being offered scholarships to Princeton, Yale, Duke, Northwestern....the list goes on. The harsh rules that I used to live by in my house seemed to have evaporated in the year I was away at school.
So now I'm thinking, would it be so terrible to break a few rules and have one summer that was just mine...my summer of fun.
