What are you meant to do?

Thinking for the past few days, I looked at some youtube videos and came across and viewed many videos about what is someone purpose in life and about how everyone is hear for a reason.

Why exactly was everyone placed on this planet? What exactly are we supposed to do? (Besides being a product of parental shanigans)

Here's my take on it.. perhaps you'll agree.
I think that.. in some way, there is some sort of pre-determined list  and the is a "list" that you also form on your own.

Think about it, some of the things that happen in your life have almost been too coincidental. Or sometimes were you really meant to meet certain people in your life?

I think that, in terms of friends, the somehow we were already meant to meet them, like the world already devised this plan. Whether you'd meet at an event, or through a friend or because you set out to get the know them -- the world kind of planned that out already I think. Of course we don't really notice or think of it in this way, but I think it's something to consider.

Continuing, in friendships whether they last for a season or forever, you were meant to to affect their life in someway it was by saying hi or having fun or being always there for them -- there is always a result to any action.

Bottom line, the way you affect a person's life has already been put into place.. even if you make a random decision, that's already been set as well.

There is also the part of your someone's purpose in life that can slightly be altered.. but I havent thought about something that really justifies my claim. I was going to say a person job path or perhaps having children. But if you are supposed to have children, you will.

Ahh these are the random types of things I think about.. that sort of lead to dead ends. And also... I mean i did not really provide the best examples or the most eloquent way of discussing this, but as long as you get the gist of it that's okay with me.

So Instead of studying for the past hour..

Well, I did some random stuff and attended to things like, my jobs and other school obligations like being on production committee for the Culture Show and such.

Today was nice.. even beign in the library was oddly nice, studying silently and very hard, writing study guides and doing problems. I wish i was there longer.. but I went to a bday dinner and got back way too late ..because the library was almost closing by then. The dinner was great, korean bbq! I suppose the once a year thing holds true for me haha (because idk i feel like korean bbq can only be done once a year lol)

Thought: Where Do You Draw The Line Between Work and Play?

Thinking about it recently, isn't it a bit interesting to observe where each person draws that line. Some restrict themselves from doing anything fun (goings out to eat for dinner, hanging out with a friend  for bit, doings something interesting during their alone time, etc.), others find a balance between work and play and the rest..pretty much fool around all the time.

But how do these choices correspond to academic success? And to what extent does it matter... getting one third of a grade higher in a class? if you could have just had some fun and been happy for a period of time?

(Side note: for one class.. I can;t really think about this type of exchange... because I got myself into a predicament.. that I definitely must get through.. because if not, the grade in the class will be TERRIBLE (umm and that's not exaggerated, that;s on normal everyday people standards) *sigh* I can do this!!!!!! must..get..better grade..and ace final!)

Anyways, what do you think? Can happiness really be put to the side for an extended period of time, to just work work work and is it worth it? I think sometimes it is.. but that's just me.


And I wish I had a large amount of money.... because I anticipate funds...going down down down.. I blame people having birthdays! damn..

Anyways, Good Night!
