Everyone has an answer to the untimely
question of “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” and although
invisibility and the ability to fly have very charming attributes, I’ve decided
to take my wishful thinking to a more subordinate level. If you’re an eighties
or nineties child I’m sure you will fondly remember the TV show Bernard’s
watch, and that is indeed what I would wish for, the ability to pause time.
Seriously, 24 hours are not sufficient.
For me, I’m a student, I establish my own
personal projects, I hold two jobs, a long distance relationship, attempt to
see friends and family from all over, I work out four times a week (on a good
week might I add) and there’s always an errand to be ran. I know I’m very lucky
to be following my dream, doing something creative with my life and studying in
an awesome city, yet I find that sometimes I’m losing the will to live. I’m
positive I’m not alone, my peers are under the same pressure, and with the big
wide world lurking ahead we’re all keen to be as paramount as possible to show
it what we’ve got. Plus we’ve all got to sleep sometime!
There are 24 hours in a day, 168 in a week
and 720 in a month, so much can be accomplished, so much can be wasted, but it’s
time to stop worrying about it! I’m
beginning to apprehend that I’m not a perfect person, and neither are you! It’s
time to chill out a bit and be proud of what can be achieved to the best of your
ability.
I’m certainly not declaring that we should
all just give up. Especially when my friends and I are at the beginning of
our potential careers, it’s exceptionally important that we work hard to be the
best that we can be. We should intern, shadow and experience, learn, study and
review, write, create and establish. Most importantly we should relish in what
we do and look forward to entering the real world with what we have to offer.
Nevertheless, superpowers are unobtainable and have you ever heard of a hero
selecting his proficiency?
Enjoy what you do, and allow yourself some
down time. Work hard, play hard. The finest advice I know, perhaps though, we
could add: Relax hard?
