I did not expect much from college. I knew what I wanted‚ to be a nurse‚ and that was what college was going to help me achieve. I did not realize that I was beginning a vast voyage‚ trying to tie some meaning to my life. A few months in‚ I was going insane. I mean this with complete and utter regard to the word.
