My name is Taylor Timothy. I have a great story I was born in Brigham City Utah. After high School I decided to serve an LDS mission and I was chosen to go to Brazil for 2 years; Shortly after I started attending Utah State University. 6 months later I moved to St. George and started attending Dixie State. I have been attending Dixie state for a year and a half now. So here I am now sitting in the Holland building thinking about what I’ve got to say about being “drunk”.
The phrase “being drunk”, has a very interesting mean. Most people will hear the phrase “being drunk” and will assume that someone is intoxicated. I see “being drunk”, as showing passion having a love for something and completely indulging yourself into that love or passion.
Currently I am chasing after my passion, my passion for film. I currently am making short films because that’s what I prefer. When I first started a lot of people doubted my capability to succeed in film. The only thing that helped me continue through the trails was my drunkenness for film. Film has so many powers the power to bring happiness or sadness the power to influence or destroy. That’s why I have a strong passion for film; I love it! I am drunk in it and I am going to continue being drunk in it!
I feel that colleges have a wide variety of drunken students. You have the almost sober college student, this student is an example of a student that has no idea what is going on in life. Then you have the student that is drunk only about four times during the week, he kind of knows what he is doing with his life. There are students out there that are drunk on school; they are drunk in class, definitely twenty four hours a day seven days a week. This college student knows what they want to do with their life. They want to achieve their goals and the only thing that is holding them back is a degree. These students have to love school, and be drunk in school.
The why factor on why students aren’t getting drunk or being drunk is because, they haven’t found things that will get them drunk. I just found out seven months ago something that would get me drunk. Sometimes you find it by luck, or sometimes its right in front of your face and you don’t even know it!
I encourage every college student in the world to get drunk. At least get drunk on life or just enjoy it! Find that thing that you are passionate about it just makes life better. It brings more happiness into your life you find more self-worth. Search high and low to find what makes you drunk. The thing that makes you drunk is very valuable. It’s so valuable that it can determine your future, determine what will happen throughout the rest of your life!
Now don’t be discourage, don’t think, “I’m not going to find it”. That’s a bad attitude; you’ll find you just need determination to find it. If you don’t look you won’t find it! Try new things maybe its arriving to class on time, caring about your grades, caring about your friends passions. Support things that don’t interest you, these things will open doors to find your passion. I promise that you will; you will find it!
