I think when you’re somewhere, you ought to be there.

“If you’re here for four more years or four more weeks, you’re here right now. I think when you’re somewhere, you ought to be there. It’s not about how long you stay in a place, it’s about what you do while you’re there, and when you go, is that place any better for your having been there?”

    Hi! (Long time reader, first time commenter)

    I read your post and remembered a quote I read somewhere from ages ago that really stuck out:

    “change on the horizon is not an excuse to avoid getting emotionally involved in the present.”

    Goodluck with the studying!

    :)
