Purpose of Change
You say you want to make a change in the world. What will you do once you attain it? What's preventing you from doing that already?

School and College
Where in school there was a sense of buildup and progression, in college there is but a series of intermissions, a collection of fragments along a flattened stairway, a constant scramble to proceed as quickly as possible without a destination.
