Hah! This sentence is perfect.

The world is never simple and always ridiculous, mostly because people don’t understand that it is complicated and that every unthinking action contributes to its profundity for someone else’s world.

What I really don’t get is that we as a people, as *the human race* understand the varying human emotions that come along with being in a world such as ours. We know what it is to love, be loved, lose, move on. We know guilt and happiness, anger and tranquility. Why then is it that we (all of us) fumble through life desperately wanting to connect, but then rejecting or removing ourselves from such fundamental connections? What for? Fear, insecurity? Is this all that holds us back?

Oddly enough, I’m also in 3rd year and I’m just beginning to figure things out, too. Recently, I volunteered for some engineering events at the university, and it truly opened my eyes.

For instance, I always was pretty shy and not very outgoing with people I didn’t know, even classmates who I’ve seen in all my classes . However, I went around during the Science and Engineering Olympics and answered any questions and gave a little spiel about some of the offerings at McMaster. And after that day, I found that I opened up a little more to people around me, and learned that maybe I did have better people skills than I thought I did. And I also wanted to volunteer more.

University sure has it’s ups and downs, but I think the experience has been very positive for me.
