Surprise


"Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised."
- Steve Correl as Dan in Dan in Real Life

It is the question I dread.  "What are you doing after graduation?"  I have learned to jokingly laugh it off.  Where did the notion that we have to have life planned come from?  Where is the sense of adventure and excitement in that?  From my life, I know too well that plans can and do change.  It is like you almost expect that plans won't work out.  This may sound a bit pessimistic, but I feel it isn't.  The way I see it, the little things that come up that were not anticipated can be some of the best things life has to offer.  Think about it.
