The Second Step: Sophomore Year

I guess it is kind of fitting to have confusion in the title, if I'm very confused at the moment. What I am confused about? you might ask. Well I am not sure whether or not I am making the correct choices for myself at the moment. After listening to a few motivational speeches from the amazing Eric Thomas, I received a huge gust of energy in the past few days to work my ass off in preparation for my future. I have removed all social media apps from my Ipod and have been devoting every second of my time to working on Summer Hw, practicing basketball, exercise, and researching scholarships and summer programs. I have been telling myself about all of the benefits this effort will have in my future and I want so badly to become successful in my future that I believe it is worth it.

But I just came into a problem. I just thought to myself, what will it be like when I have reached these ambitions. Will I be happy, or will I regret not having fun when I had the chance to. I am not exactly sure what I should do, but I guess I will continue giving 100% effort with only one stipulation: when given an opportunity to have fun, celebrate, or enjoy time with friends, I will.

Lets see where this mind-set gets me.
