From his dorm room window, Ethan stared at the email on his laptop screen. A strange calm washed over him. He felt oddly peaceful. The pressure was off.

He felt an urge to tidy his room, a task he'd been putting off for months. He organized his desk, putting away his course books. He smiled as he threw out the pamphlets for jobs he never wanted.

He opened the window, letting the fresh air rush in. He felt grateful. The weight of expectation was gone, and he was able to follow his passion, no matter the consequences. He had a path, and it had been revealed to him.
