What's Anxious Aspiration?

"Anxious Aspiration", is , obviously, the name I've chosen for my blog. Why did I choose those two words? Well, in the technical sense, they are an alliteration, which makes it easy to remember the name. Other than easy remembrance, though, I think these two words describe my attitude towards the new stage in my life. This school year (2010-2011) is my first year of college, and my first time living away from home. I'm attending North Greenville University in Tigerville, SC, three hours and fifteen minutes away from my home in Thomasville, NC. While today is only my fifth day of classes, I'm already loving life here. However, life in college, does not come without its challenges. That is the reason I named my blog "Anxious Aspiration". The anxious part of the title was chosen for an obvious reason: college is stressful and a little scary for a freshman who's never lived anywhere but home. The second half of the alliteration describes what I hope for in college and life. My dreams, plans, and goals are my "aspiration". The two terms are undeniably woven together through the college experience. Aspirations require work, and, thus, produce anxiety. Anxiety, though, can be a driving motivational push to get the necessary work done in order to achieve the aspirations. And that is why I named my blog "Anxious Aspiration", because I anxiously aspire to be and do all I can in the years ahead in school and my future life.
