From the position I’ve always assumed, assiduously and rather inconspicuously behind the vanguard of sharp minds and keener ambitious, it seems like a lifetime’s work is required to finally transcend that delimiting reassurance of being merely ‘better than average’, straddling the line between obscurity and celebrated brilliance. I am in fact fond of this liberating (in an ironically socially-regulating way) space; I don’t like to brag, really. But it seems like I am forced to arms in this leg of the unending Darwinian contest, where the result, for once, is a searing brand that isn’t in the least easy to expunge. And certainly some urgency is required at this juncture if I am to wholeheartedly devote myself to courting that elusive maiden, excellence, whose eyes I have met fleetingly from time to time; now is the hour to seize her, firmly, by the hand; to be the foremost suitor for just this little moment – and lay forever content in the budding realization of a dream I can believe in.
I sort of need to do well for the final exams to get into a good college of my preference, is all.
