University life has its illusions; early adulthood has its own. The former fosters a complacent inertia, a beguiling sense of timelessness; the latter dictates that the sorting out of the self is the most important task in the world. Often, the two coincide and then you feel you have all the time in the world to sort out your self.

Welcome to my current life.
Our current life :)
You are still a student, my child :D
What a line, Sir. The second part sums up my position exactly.
@Piper: It captures an entire phase of our lives beautifully :)
You must have a blog on tumblr.com. It is certainly more fun to interact and so much easier for others to find your blog and read your beautiful words :)
You are a disciplined writer.
@Anon: Sarcasm duly noted. But I can explain. Neither disciplined, nor a writer. And you must be?
Hahahaha ;)
