My real life, like most people's lives, does not have a great deal in common with the plot progression of a typical story. It has a beginning, a middle, and (eventually will have) an end, but that is just about where the similarities stop.
I can't reorganize the order my life goes, the way a writer would, to make certain things emphasized.
Stories are usually driven by casual events, one thing leading to another, like in Tarzan, when Tarzan pursues an ape who has kidnapped Jane, a series of described events has lead to that moment. In real life, things happen that are often beyond the scope of our control or even knowledge to explain the plot of.
I think the longer I live, the more my life relates to a lot of plots. You are actually fortunate to not be able to pinpoint one thing or the other. I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I relate to a lot of plots. That may be due to my 47 earthstrong presence though. Tarzan is a romantic yet powerful story of a man being great despite his circumstance or beginnings. Like you stated in your intro, this isnt the beginning of your college career, so I do anticipate you becoming great.
