Day One Hundred and Eighty-Four:  Education

Jess’s Advice Seriees 55:  Never Stop Learning

It seems as though I always find myself wanting to protest that “MY BRAIN IS FULL” whenever I head back to school, and yet I find myself driven to learning new things over the summer.  Even when I graduate I plan to continue to expand, if not in specific classes I’d appreciate continuing the expansion of knowledge, skills, let it be reading the newspaper or trying to learn how to knit from a youtube video.  I personally would love to learn how to properly edit a video, and yet I still end up passing over it for Netflix every evening.

I think while I’m still in school I will take the breaks while I can because when in classes my brain IS full, and yet when I finish I intend to keep learning.  But I can imagine how it might be hard, but I would like to extend my encouragement to not get stuck in work-school-sleep, and to work towards a variety of activities to keep your mind sharp.  Knitting, the paper, reading, youtube video’s, cookbooks, adventurous workout ventures, and the like.  If it were up to me I would have the time and the energy to keep going on and on all day.

And include other people.  It’s great to do things alone and learn things and show off and things, but the experience of encouragement, motivation, and to share learning skills and the like with other people is as rewarding as alone.  This may only be my opinion, but expanding your mind is only interesting as a monologue for so long, at some point you’ll have to expand the conversation, no?

So set a goal today on something you’d like to learn, go on, it’ll be fine even something very small like how to start your own blog or cook a shephard’s pie, but make it something worth it for you to take that step into learning, because there is so much out there for all of us to experience.
