So I think I might watch too much TV…

At least that’s what my roommates think, since they ALWAYS mention it. But seriously…it’s my stress relief. I turn Netflix on, get out my latest sewing project, and just de-stress. Don’t judge.

Seriously though, they need to just get over it. Sorry I get my work done more efficiently than them…right? But then I think how much I could get done if I stopped watching so much TV and channeled that time into studying! I could be so productive. But then my life would basically be an empty bottomless pit of school. That really doesn’t sound very appealing, does it? But sometimes I feel like that’s what I need to in order to get where I need to be going. Boo.

Super duper need to clean my room.

Don’t know how everything manages to be a disaster all the time…even right after I clean it! Kevin’s right. I need to get rid of like half the stuff in here…or I need a room twice this size. Oh next year…be here faster!

College students’ favorite thing to do:

COMPLAIN. We complain SO much. I was thinking about today, and I think that complaining is what I have in common with most of the people I talk to.  Most of my conversations follow one of these topics:

1. Complain about how tired we are or how early we have to get up.
2. Complain about how much work we have to do to prepare for such and such class/midterm.
3. Complain about TAs and professors and how incompetent they are at explaining/teaching/grading/speaking English.
4. Complain about the last midterm and how it was way harder than the practice midterm or how unfair the grading scale.
5. Complain about how it’s not the weekend yet and why the days don’t go by faster.
6. Complain about food/weather/whatever else is going on.

Seriously though…how pathetic are we? Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and notice how good we have it. As much as I joke around about how difficult my life is, I actually have it really good. I have a GREAT life when I look back on it.

We should all take a moment every day to have a conversation about how BEAUTIFUL it is outside now that it is spring. Of course, that conversation would go something like this:

“It’s such a beautiful day outside! I’d love to just go lay around in the sun today…too bad I have SO much to do. I am really behind in all my classes. Why do I have so much work to do?”
