When I first arrived at college I was excited about the unlimited possibilities. I was enamored with idea of doing something new everyday and meeting new people who also were in love with the bevy of things to do. I felt college possessed a great sense of spontaneity that wouldn't leave me with any dull moments. 4 years later and many reality checks later I found that spontaneity is indeed good for daily life but for the most part this a great monotony in life and monotony is what is ultimately respected in our society.
I sometimes find myself angry at the monotony of life but at the same time long for it. When looking at many of aspects it is monotony that people look for. For college students a respectable g.p.a is in connection to a monotony related to getting consistent good grades. In the work place some employees see the monotony of marriage as a gauge of someones consistency in behavior. Even in sports a constant respectable avg of points determines the great players. Ive found that I ultimately would like spontaneity in my life that is monotonous. When I say this I mean I want a consistency in those I am indulging in spontaneity with.
I've that spontaneous monotony is what I desire because in constant spontaneity there lacks a common theme. I believe that lack of a common theme leads us to eventually longing for monotony but not necessarily wanting to give up the spontaneous lifestyle. I've concluded that we want that certain something or individuals who are always present no matter what we dabble in.
