Life Is A Box of Chocolate

--macfee

Strictly speaking, I never took a sentence as my proverb until I heard the classic words in <> that “Life is a box of chocolate, you never know what gonna get.” Although it is not profound enough, it does change my life by giving me hope, it does inspire me by showing me various possibilities or consequences.

I still remember the astonishment when I went though our college gate. This old, sherry school would be my campus where I would spend my golden years. I lay on my bed thinking of my college life. To be honest, I totally couldn’t accept the disparity between the reality and my dreaming university. At that time, I felt my whole world was gray. Certainly, I did nothing meaningful in my first year.

Occasionally, I heard the sentence from my friend’s letter answering my endless complain. He draw a delicate card writing “Life is a box of chocolate, you never know what gonna get.” Initially, I paid little attention to that, but I did remember it. At the same time, I realized that something changed inside me. After I had watched the movie <>, changes became clear. Having heard this sentence again, it severely shocked me. Gump’s mother was not somebody important. However, she never despaired though she encountered many difficulties. She strongly believed that life is not so bad, and there is still hope. I really convinced she not only told Gump, but also said to me “Life is a box of chocolate…”

For quite a long time, I kept turning it over in my mind. How could I so sure I would get a bitter chocolate at the very beginning of my college life! How could I deny myself without trying best! How could I ignore the various possibilities of my magic world! How could I give up myself just because of disparity of reality! How could I!

From then on, I kept going my own way, despite, frequently, I felt lonely, aggrieved and worn-out.

Frankly, university life is much more complicated and harsher than previous life. During my growth, I had to face up to strange people and various and unfamiliar surroundings by myself. I scared, I cried. But, finally, by telling myself “Keep going, keep looking for your chocolate!” I got through. For many times, I was completely worn out. It’s too lonely to stick to be myself; it’s too painful to be excellent. Always, I told myself “Chocolate is not far away. Come on!”

How time flies. Looking back the past three years, I deeply realized that my own chocolate box had been opened and I’ve got several flours, hardship and relaxation, failure and success… when the complain about the rough college sounds like far away from my yesterday, I’m going to be a job-hunter along with the flood of grads, another pea in the pod.

Soon, the college box life gave to me will be empty, the next one is right in front of me. Sometimes I dare not to taste, even open it. However, just thinking about having trying so hard for such a long time, I truly believe that life is a box of chocolate, you’ll never know what gonna get. No matter what how bitter the chocolate will be, no matter how harsh the way presents to me, I still look forward my hope.
