on purpose and exhaustion

One of the many things I have learned at Rochester:
it is one of the worst feelings to have pushed till you're spent and to still have more to go. to have given something so much effort and time and pure life energy is powerful, but when it's just not enough, when the work is good but you're not finished, that's when it's also tough. almost hopeless, at times.

I'm referring to schoolwork and extracurriculars and leadership and schedules, but I guess it's also true for relationships and emotional ties.

I guess that's one of the unique things about being at a place like this: everyone i meet is driven toward something. we have passion, even if we don't know where to direct it yet. it's intimidating at times, but usually i feel inspired.
