My college experience like many others has been a roller coaster ride. Ups and downs, twists and turns. After being on the ride after awhile I started to want more of a sense of fulfillment inside of me. I started listening to Eckhart Tolle and many other prolific "Spiritual teachers." Slowly I began to realize more and more that for me to be really free and truly happy I had to completely detach and not get lost on the roller coaster ride.

I propose instead that you don't commit to anything in the future, but just look at the options available now, and choose those that will give you the most promising range of options afterward.
