Just as Chesterton once said, “One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego, the self is more distant than any star”, life is a journey full of discovery. The best way to discover ourselves still remains controversial. Anyway, vigorous campus life is like a magic wand, ?encountering stranger and challenges is like waving a wand, letting us to think deeply and in return we discover more of ourselves. When it comes to me, running is the best way to discover my problems in college.
I sank myself into the busy ocean, like a fish swimming very fast without knowing where to go.
Campus life in the beginning was burdensome; therefore, running have become the way of releasing pressure. Unlike most teenagers, independence is in my blood. Whereas, it also makes me greedy. Every diverting activities enticed me strongly but I did not have a doppelganger. I sank myself into the busy ocean, like a fish swimming very fast without knowing where to go. Apparently, running put an end to it. Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result: Tears gets me sympathy while sweat gets me change.
The beauty of running is that it gives me time to introspect. I run around campus in the evening, with sports shoes and music on, from Monday to Friday, from September to December. Fortunately, I witnessed a different ECNU, which is just the opposite to its day pattern, deep in silence and thought. I realize that no matter who you are everyone must handle the bleak and lonely time. What annoyed me most was that I conducted things I hate most. I skipped out quite a lot of courses last term, but complained about nowhere to study. Though I still got high marks, the days I wasted will never cheat me, just like the running distance I covered. Appreciate each step; forget the rest. Appreciate each class; forget the rest.
Running wildly means living better in campus on any given day. Each fall I took makes me stronger when I get back up on my feet again and each mistake I made makes me a deeper thinker. Maybe tomorrow, I will run longer than today. ?
