My friend's Pomeranian, Rory, during Halloween on the Lawn 2011 |
Sometimes I cringe at the college version of myself. Ideally,
as we collect life experiences, we ought to strive to be come better people,
friends, employees/workers, and partners. Sometimes, for example, past
transgressions are brought into sharper focus when someone wrongs you in a
similar manner (karma!). We learn to be better friends by having and then
identifying deadweight judgmental acquaintances; better team members and future
leaders from poor examples of management; and better partners from the shortcomings of
former flames. Or I simply needed more life to live, days to learn from, and
self-awareness to gain.
I could’ve …:
Been a more inclusive conversationalist when socializing
with the significant others of close friends
Been a better student leader who used meeting times more
economically, and was more inclusive and trusting of team members’ abilities to
execute plans
Dropped the meal plan sooner
Been a more consistent pen pal
Identified and dropped the deadweight, judgmental acquaintances
sooner
