Be Obsessed With Something (collegefeed.com)

The opening statement, "The question on everyone’s mind, whether graduating or not" is something that I think daily. I can choose to drop my minor and graduate a semester earlier...or keep it. Finding the "value" in the minor is tough (especially when that includes another semester's of tuition and fees).

I do agree that being obsessed with something is good...as long as it is something that can get you somewhere. I know too many people obsessed with video games (not even in a professional sense).

Awesome insight. I don't think you can go randomly look for an obsession but if you are passionate about something- pursue it, be obsessed with it!


I think the hardest thing is focussing to realizing what to be obsessed about. Managing work + school + other commitments is hard to find some "me" time.


It is so true that college is where you find yourself, and when you can identify yourself with a desirable purpose, you will succeed!
