Graduation stress

Well the time is nearly upon me. Friday i will be graduating from uni. I'm very excited about it, who wouldn't be? After a lot of hard work i've finally achieved my goal.

It was all fine until last night anyway. I woke up this morning having dreamt that i wasn't in the right clothing, i had forgotten my cap etc etc. Basically it was a total nightmare and i looked a fool in front of everybody. This has lead to unbelievable stressing. I have checked all the details several times, written down the timings, where everything is, you name it i've checked it.

I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fine. I'm not going to fall flat on my face on stage. Maybe if i think positively it will help?

Whatever happens it is one of the most important days of my life.

I have a dream.

We have all done it at some point. Asked that question which sends us off in to a land of dreams. What would you do if you won the lottery? It's then that we reel off a list of things we would buy, things we would do, who we would give money to or not. I have done it many times. I would buy a house and a new car, go on holiday and give some to my chosen charity and family. These i expect are the bog standard initial answers but are what most people would actually do. What do you do after this though? Personally i would follow the F1 season around the world, pay for a ride in a two seater F1 car and a BTCC car if i could. I'm sure there are loads of other things i would do but those are the must do. Of course all this depends on the extent of your fortune. More importantly it depends on that 14 million to 1 stroke of luck that would make these dreams a reality.

There is the alternative way...marry a rich man. No, seriously the alternative way is to work for these goals. If you really want something you have to believe that it is within your reach and that one day you will achieve it. Buying a car, house, giving to charity and going on holiday are all achievable as proved by millions of people every year. As for the others they all come at a price and the question is, are you willing to work to pay that price? You don't have to wait for that unlikely lottery win to be able to do the things you dream of. If they are something that you really want you will go through hell and high water to get them. Everything is within reach if you want it to be. It would be easy to wait for a windfall but how much more satisfying is it when you know how hard you have worked for something. It makes you appreciate it so much more.

Those dreams don't have to be dreams. Still it's nice to wander off in to that magical world where anything is possible with no effort required now and then.
