Take it slow
I’ve always worried that I am rushing through life. I regret not choosing to enjoy high school as much as I could have. I was so focused on getting out of there and going to UND to fly, that I often forgot to have fun. I think many aspiring pilots get caught up in this kind of a mind set. They live in the future so much that they forget that “now” is only going to happen once. I would love to go back and live my high school years again. It was a ton of fun. The best advice I can give anyone is to have fun in live and don’t be rushed to become a pilot, or whatever they want to be. The job will always be there waiting for them.Â
 I have been at UND for only 3 months and can’t say that is has been as exciting as high school. Living in the dorms here is quite different from my old boarding school. It’s easier to live here, but not quite as much fun. My mind was always kept busy thoughout high school, and once I got to college, the fun kind of went away. It’s probably just that college fun and high school fun are not the same thing. I’m kind of going against my own advice now–I have chosen to do summer school to get out of here sooner. I think I should be ok this time though, because I am more aware of “experience” now.
