I'm Thinking of Ending Things

 I've had a lot to think over this semester.

Namely, I'm thinking of changing and/or altering my major and minor.

When scheduling classes for this semester I happened to take an intro to ethics class and to be frank...

It changed me.

I loved being posed with questions I had to seriously think about.

Pondering my own moral judgments and ethical beliefs,

Analyzing others who have written extensively on these issues, and 

Changing how I looked at life. 

Needless to say, I loved the class.

To a point where it had a profound effect on me.

I think I don't want to be a political reporter.

I think I want to be a political and ethical analyst and writer.

I experienced writing euphoria at the prospect of my papers in that class. I really felt like I was enriching myself and the reader with my claims.

A euphoria I've always struggled to achieve when writing/reporting in politics.

Politics makes me angry if anything. 

I get mad at the state of things.

I get mad that the powers that be refuse to change for the Greater Good.

I get mad that my peers shut their ears to reason and would instead hold fast to prejudice and superstition.

When I write politically it was as if Sisyphus had to reason with the boulder on why it should roll upwards, then come falling down anyways.

It is nothing but frustrating.

The reason I keep at it is a sense of duty to humanity to try and advocate for what I believe to be the best course of action towards our survival and success.

So, as I schedule for classes for next semester, I will have to keep this all in mind.
