The Episode Review
I used to think that if I wasn’t doing what I loved, then it was because I wasn’t good enough. But now I know that if you don’t love what you do, there’s no point in trying. You have to put in the hard work and if you don’t, someone else will. And they might not be as passionate about it as you are.
I followed my dream and here we are, a year later working ridiculous hours watching TV and writing about TV shows. The dream life. It’s not easy to buck the trend, and a lot of people will tell you you’re crazy and it won’t work but hey, you have to do what you love.
This episode showcases how difficult it is for Colin to make a choice between baseball and football. Despite the fact that both sports are very important to him, he makes the difficult decision to choose baseball over football. This choice is important because it allows him to focus on his goals, which are more important than anything else.
With two more episodes left in the drama, it’s starting to heat up now. ..
