Passion & Privilge

The difference between the two concepts of privilge and passion  varies in many different ways, meaning there could be more than one answer for this for each. Passion is something you love to do, you desire to do, something that just comes naturally because you love it so much. Were as privilege is something that cant be seen, in fact it's the complete opposite of passion. Privilege can be seen as something that you have or it could be anything of value, meaning who you are individually. For example your religion could be a privilege or even how you were brought up in this world, meaning your class. Those are things that could be considered examples of privilege. another example between these two concepts is that passion comes naturally, because it's something you love to do and you do it alone, like being your own leader, yet privilege is something that you end up doing because other's are as well, like following the leader instead of being a leader. So the difference between them two is, being a leader verses being a follower. when you lead you follow your own heart and mind. when you follow you not only following someone else's heart and wishes but your not standing for what you as the individual believes in. Like they say, if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. This quote in the beginning from Ray makes sense to this, "in order to love life you have to find your passion; you have to find what truly makes you happy and when you find what truly makes you happy you gata chase after it; you gata take those risks." He's saying in order to enjoy life, you first must find your passion and when you find your passion you will then have to continue chasing after it, and thus taking risks which could lead you in the wrong path or the right path, sometimes you have no choice to do certain things especially when your only trying to succeed and become a better person and be bale to help the next individual find themselves as well. This is where both passion and privilege could have some sort of connection, meaning to find your passion you have to take risks' these risk's could damage you or help you and that's what privilege does at times, not knowing what the outcomes is could be detrimental, but you do it anyways to help you determine your next step in success and or your desire and passion for your life.

2 CHALLENGES IN COLLEGE

During my time in college, I faced numerous challenges that made my life complete hell and I have only been hear for one year. One of my main challenges is time management. Probably the most common challenge for college students because it makes us take a step back and look at all of the things we need to do and prioritize first. My first thought about time management is that it will be hard to get use to. We are all use to freely spend our time because our parents did all the hard stuff for us while all we have to do is focus on studying. For me time management was really hard and it caused me to break down and just got me stuck. I'm stuck between what to do today and what to do tomorrow. I over came this struggle by organizing my days and schedule on a chart. It's tedious but works very well. I can organize all my classes and all the things I want to do that day. It's kind of like a shopping list except much longer and a little more complex. I also use a calender to plan out my days for the month. I'm sure a lot of people does this and would know how useful it is. It helps me organize my weeks and by using a chart or planner, I can organize my classes. It is also very useful to plan nights out and party with friends.

        Another issue is my lack of passion to study my major. I studied elictrical engenering  and I didn't like it. It was just boring and I doze off most of the time. This lack of passion I had in the was just devastating for me. It completely ruined my first semester of college and it left me in the dust. In the passion project, Elaine said "If you don't know who you are you will never find out what you want." I completely agree with what she said. If we don't know what we want or feel passionate about, we can't continue toward our goals. It will just cause us more trouble in our lives. Imagine waking up and just sitting there on your bed staring into space thinking "What am I going to do today?" I don't really know if I can get  over my struggle and i hope i find my passion to study my desired major, but if I have to take a guess then I would say it was because of my friends and family. There are no substitute for a good old conversations with friends and family members. They can give very good advice and just tell you to follow what interests you. I always wanted to study psychology but the pressure of fitting in with the people around me led me to pursue a biology major. My family told me to pick something I like which is what I did and my friends introduced me to many different major to see if I showed interest in any one of them. Another good way to find your passion to do something is to just go ahead and do it. You never know what will happen if you don't. I was scared to do new stuff and I do admit that I am still scared to do new stuff. It might be scary but it can have good consequences after you do it. By just going in there and doing something, it can let you see what it is like to do a specific thing first hand and could even ignite a sense of passion to pursue it.

The Passion project was a real eye opener it helped me understand what pasiion realy is. The begist thing that helped me understand what paisiion is when they give the difintion of it "passion is a desire to do, or accomplish , or feel love..without any barrier. The movie did not only help me understand what real passion is but it also showed me how passion has disaper as we get older. Right now in my life im starting to get caught up in work like what they were saying "work even more just to pay toget to work where you could work just to get paid".

Women and Cannabis is my passion!!!
