I haven't posted in a while because I was busy with finals last week and Spring Break was this week so I was busy having some relaxation I haven't had in a while. However, along with my break, I've had some time to think and play some computer games.
Thinking is never good for me as my thoughts wander off to areas that are depressing, too happy, or too psychological. One of my train of thoughts took me to the land of gaming. Why do I like to play computer games was one of my questions. At first it wasn't meant to have any kind of deep meaning but as I thought about it I found a deeper meaning in my shallow question. I have an infatuation with games because it helps me escape from my real life filled with stress and constant situations demanding my time and effort. The fake game world allowed me to escape for a while in the time I was spending time with my friends online. I guess this may be the same answer for everyone else. Although we dislike to admit it, games are just another way to escape reality. That is nothing to be ashamed of though since we all need a break from our real lives at one point, right? It can almost be seen as another healthy coping skill.
My Spring Break also led me to thoughts about college and the pressure that several students undergo due to the pressure of being accepted into a prestigious college. My question is: Will getting into a good college a guarantee of being successful in life? Isn't it all based on your willingness? I am not undermining the importance of college but this was just a tidbit of the questions percolating.
Have a nice rest of your Spring Break!
