"Time Management" and School
In complete honesty, I never realized how much "time-management"
goes into college classes. I've noticed over the past few days that time itself
can often be a vortex where I'm lost and completely sucked into being late,
having many assignments pile up, and basically losing track of things. On the
opposite side of things, the adjustment from less independent studies to having
everything depend on you is quite a liberating feeling. It makes me feel almost
free because now everything depends on me. On account of this,
anything I succeed in contains credit that is fully on me. Every outcome, good or
bad (hopefully mostly good ones), all comes from my actions and decisions now.
Although it's somewhat terrifying, it is also very great to receive signs that I
am doing things right. Also, adjusting
to school infers that new daily routines are needed to take place of old
ones. Because I am in school now, I wake
up earlier, eat healthier (at least a little bit) and spend more time doing
productive things. To me, that feels
like a very good wake-up call. Because I
am managing my time now, and not wasting it doing basically nothing, I feel as
if I am a more productive member of society.
Looking back at the things I am accomplishing in school and other activities
lets me know that I am altering my time for the better. At the end of the semester I hope I look back
and realize how much I changed. In the
end, “time management” and school may be slightly overwhelming, but overall it’s
assisting me become a more educated person.
We Are Alive!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else ever come to the realization that we, a form of various elements and structures, are actually alive? It sounds weird, I know, but I was waiting between classes the other day, and after randomly bouncing around thoughts, I realized that a saggy, mushy ball of goop (yes, gross) can conjure up complicated and intricate theories, thoughts, and ideas. All of these seemingly materialistic items that make up our body somehow create a form of consciousness which makes me completely puzzled. How can an individual, from a balance of chemicals in the brain, feel sad or happy or depressed? It is such an odd phenomenon to me. Not only do we have a consciousness ultimately made from organs and various systems, but the thoughts provoked from said consciousness are extremely complex. The fact that numerous scholars can contemplate questions of a high caliber of difficulty, solve mathematical problems that are seemingly impossible, and express their emotions in a highly sophisticated way all makes me ponder. Where did this “consciousness” come from? Was it an act of God? Was it some sort of significant event that occurred in time that created our critical thinking? To be frank, I do not know. To extrapolate further, I’m not quite sure anyone is aware why. Also, why are we the most dominant species (that we know of) alive right now? Social Darwinism? Maybe. Religion? Quite possibly. In a concluding note, I am just extremely happy to be alive and present in this radical and wonderful train ride we call life. Although the reason we, as humans, have a conscious is elusive and ambiguous to me, the fact that we can all grow spiritually, physically, and mentally is a blessing, nonetheless.
Hello Ben, I have to do two more comments because I think something happened to Taylors blog cite. When I was going through and counting up all the comments I got to hers and it would only show a black screen. I have no idea why if you figure it out let me know something. After all the time I spent doing these comments I just decided to go ahead and do two more and call it a day. That way I know for sure that it is done and all I have left to do is the in class stuff. I am also ready to get this essay done and nerves about the next one I think it will be the hardest one we have done yet. How is your paper going I just got my fourth one done and now I have no idea who to have look at it next. I have Shawn it to everyone at the learning center and my home tutor. May be I should take it to the street and just ask the next person I see to check it. That would probably lead to nothing but trouble and also a really bad grade. I know that with the luck that I have I would get someone real far off the wall. Well I am almost at my limit on words so I can start to wrap this up and put a big smile on my face. So thank you for being my last one and I hope you achieve everything you wish in life.
DeleteTGIF!
ReplyDeleteWell, first off, I would gladly like to say, thank GOD it is Friday! I mean, typically I always like to have at least some fun on most weekends, but this weekend is a lot more special to me. After a lot of my friends graduated high school, and consequently moved all across the borders of our country, I became a lot more introverted on account of how my group of friends left my hometown. But, this weekend is going to be extremely awesome because of the fact that I am going to go and visit a lot of my friends in Toledo this weekend! Yay! I cannot wait to visit with them, converse about how our school programs are going, and reminisce in the crazy, yet totally fun, scenarios we have been in. Ever since they left, it has felt like a lot of my communication has consisted of only my family and the few friends that have not left for college. Even though this trip up north is going to probably be an overall success, I am kind of afraid that, through the processes of college, some of my friends changed. Even though change is, for the most part, a very awesome situation, I also hope that my friends did not alter in a negative sort of way. Even if they have, I am still going to be persistent in the pursuit of having an amazing time. I really hope no one gets hurt as the weekend continues! Ha-ha, but seriously, I have extreme gratitude to the lord almighty that it is presently Friday! :)
We Aren’t Just Robots…
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered, through the processes of life, how much people are shaped and formed by societal culture. For example, one thing that people in this period of time obviously like to do is to watch T.V. And, as we all know, the majority of the shows that are located on certain television programs are rather over glamorized and definitely much more decadent than the average lifestyle. Well, although most of us can recognize and refute the illusion the exemplifying program portrays, I am just curious as to how much information, subconsciously, is being perceived as true. To extrapolate further, we all know that after “Jersey Shore” was released, the amount of Ed Hardy clothing and hair gel being bought increased exponentially. In honesty, in terms of the development of individuals, the fact that societal culture can subconsciously affect us to such a high degree ultimately frightens me slightly. Especially, since many shows are targeting people around the teenager years, many societal standards are basically being programmed into people’s minds. Many of the advertisements that are displayed around our lives are creating a level of physical attractiveness that people should be obligated to obtain. That honestly kills me, but that being said, I am slightly worried that I am a part of the brainwashed population. Quite often, I catch myself contemplating what to wear to school for way too long, constantly checking my appearance any reflection in my path, and repeatedly comparing my physical characteristics to the physical accents of other people. The worst part is, I know for a fact that I am definitely not the only one in the world to do these things. In conclusion, I am just highly curious on how we can break away from these gilded societal standards and ultimately live successful, happy lives.
This is why I’m glad that my son is more of a geek then one of the popular kids. I know that this often at times makes it hard on him at school. I find myself telling him over and over again that it is ok that he is different and to love his self. This is why I understand where you are coming from because I fight with the standards of is suicide all the time. It's side to me that I would even have to tell my son that it’s ok to be who he is. That he needs to be what makes him happy and just keep his mind open to new thing but, not to change who he is inside. Then it seems like he comes home at least once a week upset that someone was making fun of him. I would truly like to know when being different became so wrong. I just keep telling him the same thing over and over again one day baby they will see. One day these same people might have to come to you for a job. One day the tables will turn but, I have to ask myself will they. Like you said it never really goes away we still come pare ourselves to people that are considered perfect are popular. Asking ourselves how we compare to them, what do they have that I wish I did, and how do I become more like them. It’s hard to teach your kids something when you yourself have yet to learn how. Well that should do it. thanks for the time and have a good day
DeleteBen, you raise some really intriguing points. Life is always a mystery, which is why we should never take anything for granted. If you want success, you'll achieve it!
ReplyDeleteBefore I Kick The Bucket…
ReplyDeleteSo, how is every one doing? Hopefully well, because I am doing extremely well myself. Well, somewhat. I have been extremely, utterly, fully, and tragically bored lately. It very bland, to say the least. I mean, I am positive everyone has felt like this before, but I constantly feel like I am just watching my life just pass by. My routine goes: wake up, walk, homework, classes, work, more coursework, and sleep. Well, on account of being so bored, I decided to create a “bucket list” to complete over the course of my life. For those who are not aware what a bucket list is, it is a list of experiences or thing a person wants to witness, experience, or pursue before they “kick the bucket.” I got the idea of adding on to mine while I was talking to a friend before class. My first item on my bucket list is to travel to Venice, Italy. See, ever since I read the book “The Book Thief” in fourth grade for recreational purposes, I have always wanted to go there. This first item on my bucket list also included enjoying a domestic fermented glass of wine while boating on one of their famous “river” roads (it sounds cheesy, I know.) A second item on my bucket list is to have a book published. I am not going to lie, I like writing a lot, particularly dystopian and transcendentalism. I am excited to complete these items on my bucket list throughout my life. Does anyone else have bucket list? What’s the top item on it?
I feel like my life is in this ritual routine right now and all I do is wake up, go to school or work, come home, do homework and then sleep again. I know I shouldn't complain much because my life isn't all that bad, but I never have any "me" time. Lately I've been focusing on my friends and family more than myself and it seems to really be taking a toll on me. I need to start staying focused on school more instead of worrying about others and start taking care of myself. I remember seeing the movie "The Bucket List" and loved it! It's been a while since I've seen it, but after watching it I knew that I wanted to have one but never really have written one yet. I really liked the ones you just described. They're very interesting, but awesome! One thing that I really want to do before I die is go skydiving (: I love any type of adventure like skydiving, bungee jumping and all of that. I know there are some places around Ohio that has skydiving, but it's pretty costly. Another thing I want to do is scuba dive in the carribean sea. My family and I are scuba divers and I would just really love to, one day, go to a tropical island and scuba dive in the clear, blue ocean. That would be amazing. Those would have to be my top two things on my bucket list. This post makes me want to get to writing my bucket list! haha(:

ReplyDelete“Third Wheel Problems…”
ReplyDeleteSo, it is slightly after midnight, and I cannot sleep, like usual. So, I thought, hey, let’s blog a little and see who else is still up! Well, over the course of the weekend, I have noticed a serious issue that is starting to develop in the friendships I have. I am almost always the “third wheel” in any social outing or situation with my friends. Don’t get me wrong, I do not really care if people date people or not, it is just a thing we people do, but I am always put on the backboard with things because of the fact that I am the only single person in my group of friends. Whenever I suggest something to do on a weekend day, I almost always get “oh, dude, I would love to do that, but my girlfriend doesn’t so we can’t,” or “oh, wow, that sounds like fun, but I have my fifth date for the week with my boyfriend and it is really special to me.” I understand that they like each other in all, but I would like some time to hang out with my friends too, darn it! Another thing that aggravates me is how, when I am hanging out with a couple, they always ask “why don’t you have a girlfriend yet?” Another thing I always get is “Man, we need to help you with this, let us hook you up with this one person yadda yadda da.” It is annoying because, since I am single, people always assume I am in some state of extreme misery, or something. I mean, yeah a relationship would be cool, but I my own life to pursue first. I like being single, so let it be.
There have been many scenarios in my life where I can relate to this. First, let me say that I had no idea that I didn't have you on my blogger so I thought that this would be some great new reading to be able to comment on! I have this one friend who is always in a relationship. As soon as he gets out of one, he is in another merely days after. He always used to ask me to do stuff with him so I thought, "This could be fun, just me and him hanging out and having some quality time." Well the conclusion... not so much. I would always show up to the image of a girl always hanging around him. This took all of the fun out of hanging out with him as I couldn't make jokes that we would usually do and all in all it was just very awkward. At first, when he kept asking me to go places with him I would always ask "Is there going to be a girl there?" and he always took this into perspective that I meant "That would be awesome if there was a girl there!" This made me even more aggrivated so after a couple times of that I just kept telling him "nah, I'm busy right now, maybe next time." Finally, I think he eventually caught on because when we would do stuff he would stop bringing a girl with him. Of course I had to get back at him a little by doing the same thing to him intentionally but that was only like one or two times. Needless to say, there is time for bros and there is time for... well you know the rest.
Delete“So It Goes….”
ReplyDeleteSo, has anyone else just looked up to the sky, on a particular day, and just thought, “Wow, every single aspect of my life is coming into place right now.” Today was that day for me. I woke up early, took a very nice refreshing walk. After clearing my mind for the day, I begin studying for the Math 1370 quiz that I had later that day. Then, after showering and gathering my books, I checked my bank account and I finally have enough money saved up for future rent payments and food budgets I have set for the next year. Not only that, I also finally got my ACT scores back and I got a 27, a score high enough to enter the next scholarship level at Bowling Green State University (I am taking it one more time though, just to see If I can get better.) After this, I went and took my math quiz, which I absolutely aced. This is really phenomenal to me because, quite frankly, I typically suck at math ha-ha. I absolutely positively love life right now. One of my favorite books, written by Kurt Vonnegut, contains a motif of the sentence “So it goes.” This motif basically stresses the inevitability of things in life. Although the motif in the book stresses the negative inevitable experiences in life, I figured that it can avidly portray the positive instances of life (P.S. any other Kurt Vonnegut fans out there?) Basically, everything in my life is finally coming together, and it is the most relieving and comforting feeling I have ever experienced. :-]
Reading this was pretty bittersweet. I am happy to read that you had a good day and everything was kind of falling into place. I have not had one of these days in a long time which is kind of upsetting. Thinking about it now one of these days would be really nice, I could just sit back and relax and know everything is in place and not a thing to worry about. Lately, things have been completely overwhelming and I am not real sure why. I sit there and think about all the stuff I have to get done and I just sigh and want to take a nap ha-ha. But really college has proven to be a little more work than what I bargained for. And not really a lot more work because I have less work than I did in high school but more complex work I guess. I feel like I am always running on thing that is due to the next thing that is due. And any other aspect of my life is just not in order either. It seems like if one good thing happens then a bad thing has to happen too. I guess that is life though. Really I just think people have to stay positive even if things are not working out because one of these days it will turn out fine, hopefully.
DeleteHello ben, I wanted to let you know that I should be about done with all this blog stuff. Know that I have used you to do a lot of my comments so, I want to say thank you. When and if I’m truly done with this stuff I will probably not even get on my blog cite any more. I have never been one to get on any of these web sites like face book and yahoo. I have so much other stuff that I have to do throughout the day that I don’t even like to talk on the phone. I have a few friend that understand this about me and we only tale every once in a while. They now that if they truly need me all they have to do is call and I will be there for them. There are times that we don’t talk to each other for a year at a time or more. My dad was a preacher and he always used to tell me that when you have a family that you have to put God first and then your family. So I try to do this by not having to mush of a social life. Every once in a while I get the chance to meet up with my friend and we usually end up playing cards and getting drunk. I look forward to those get to gathers so much even if I end up throwing my guts up. It’s nice to just chill and worry about nothing. Well with that I will say good like with all you do.
ReplyDeleteHey, Tina! It’s Ben, how was your weekend? Mine was completely busy, but I got a lot of things completed so I am not going to complain. First off, congratulations on having your blog all updated and what not. That is truly a big accomplishment as we English students all know. I myself am starting to get a good path on this whole blogger situation. Secondly, I really want to thank you for all of the comments and conversing you have done on my blog. I really enjoy receiving an email saying that “So and so has commented on you blog.” It makes me feel really good to know that some people think that what I am saying is at least somewhat thought provoking and interesting. Not only do I enjoy that, but, I really enjoy talking people’s ears off, as well. I could probably talk and converse until someone finally tells me to shut up ha-ha. In terms of having a busy schedule and trying to fit the blog into said schedule, I can highly relate to you. I know, what can some teenager have in their time that makes them “busy?” Well, I have school every day, and then work typically during the evening to night time, and then homework to complete after work. And, to add to the chaos, I have Blood Drive Committee things to do, as well. I basically feel like a 35 year old instead of a lively young one. To conclude, I really thank you for the commentary and conversation, it makes my day a little more brighter! Good luck with your life, as well!

ReplyDeleteSo, first off, how is everyone's weekend starting off? mine is extremely well. I am here, up in Perrysburg, visiting my future room mates. One of my room mates of the future is my sister. I am not going to lie, i love my sister to death and she is my best friend. She is the type of person that I can tell her anything, and she will not judge me for it. My second room mate is my cousin Erika. She is basically just extremely awesome because of the fact that she can have a lot of fun, yet she has a tendency to be very responsible. This is awesome because she knows how to have a great time, but also when to buckle down and get things done. My third future room mate, Ben, is my cousins girlfriend. He is really chill and is great to be around because of his intriguing characteristics. He has grown a lot of personal experience by living, and his stories are always extremely interesting and thought provoking. We all have a lot of fun, but it is really cool to be with them because of the interesting adventures we experience while growing up. I love that fact that we are all on similar pages in terms of backgrounds and maturity levels. When I transfer to Bowling Green State University, we all plan to live together in the house they already rent out. it is going to be great knowing that I am going to have fun, yet gain a lot of life experience and learning. The greatest part is the fact that all of our hobbies are really similar. I play guitar, Ben plays the drums, Erika was in band in high school, and my sister plays guitar and the drums. we are going to have an amazing and really life altering experience up here in Perrysburg, and I cannot wait until the moment I finally walk into this house as a member of this dysfunctional, yet genuine and amazing family.
Hey! I am super excited for you! Sounds like you will be living with a really great group of people which is really good for you. You will learn a lot from all of those guys especially with having fun and still getting done everything that needs done. Even though I think you already have a really good concept of this. I think it will be really good for you to move in with those three too because you already know them so you will be able leave the stress of going somewhere new and not knowing anyone, behind. Also, I have heard really fun stories about Bowling Green and I think you will have a lot of fun. I mean, I do not really know what kind of things you do but I am sure you will have a ton of fun. And I mean not to mention you will get a great education ha-ha. I am really excited for you! I would not be able to go to a college like that because I would probably not get all my work done. I have always been really good at managing my work and free-time but that was when I was in high school and was in school longer and had less free-time and got a lot done in school. In college it is all on you to get everything done and that makes it a little harder. But anyway, good luck next year at BG!
ReplyDeleteMy Job
ReplyDeleteSo, I just got off work and I thought, “Hey, let’s talk about what I do during my free time,” so, I am going to talk about my current job. I work at On the Square Café in Kalida, Ohio. If anyone is familiar with Kalida, it is right next to Wibby’s bar and Grill. Basically, what I do is deliver food to a lot of people and, after finishing that, I sweep, mop, refill the pop machine, and fold boxes. In an honest statement, the job in itself is a pretty good one, my bosses respect me and the same effect comes from me to them. In terms of the cons versus the pros, though, it kind of stinks that half of my income basically revolves around how happy the customers are that day. I do make an hourly wage, but I would say that the tips are fifty percent of my income. So, if people are having a rough day, then I pretty much have to say good bye to half of my income, which is a stinker because, well, people aren’t happy that much. Another con out of the situation is the fact that some of my coworkers just, like, don’t work; at all. I don’t really know why, but I guess they have the thought that “Well, I want to take off work because, well, I don’t want to work, so I am going to give all my hours to Ben!” Even though it is a part time job, I am working above the full time limit most of the time weekly. To add, I also have 17 credit hours of schooling next semester, so I am going to be physically a zombie for most of my time. I am sorry if it is sounding like I am just being crabby, but, I just needed to vent out there a little bit. If I have to say, “Hello, Welcome to On the Square Café, how may I help you?” in a peppy overly happy voice one more time, I think I am going to go mentally insane.
Hey Ben! Reading this kind of made me laugh a little because well people really are not that happy, ever. I always thought it would be fun to be a waitress but then I think about how the hourly wage is smaller and the tips sometimes are not very good. I think it would be a lot of fun to meet new people like that all the time though but when they are grumpy it would not make it much fun at all. I used to work at a grocery store and let me tell you, some of the grumpiest people came in there. It was a small grocery store, privately owned so the owner made the prices and ordered the truck and everything, and I was the poor cashier that everyone blamed everything on. It was always, “Your prices are so high, I could get this cheaper at Wal-Mart” or “Why do you not have this, this, or this.” Well, because I do not stock the shelves or make the prices, it just seems like anymore all people do is whine about everything. Which I know times are hard and a lot of people are having trouble but I mean, look at the light a little. I mean do not get me wrong, I had a great job. My boss was really flexible with my hours, I could eat, use my phone, have visitors, or buy lottery tickets, just as long as I was helping customers when they needed it. I kind of miss it. Your job seems kind of fun, besides the whole having to work for everyone but keep your head up! It will all pay off one of these days and you will be glad you did it.

ReplyDeleteSo, it has been a while since I have seen you all in class because we are obviously on break for thanksgiving! How is everyone else’s break coming along? When my break first began, I was really excited because I finally had a chance to relax and put some worries aside. Well, in the initial start of the break, I did that exactly, I relaxed, I conversed with my family, and I had a great time seeing people I haven’t talked to lately. Then, Friday was right around the corner, and I was ever so excited to go out with a lot of my friends and family and catch up on our college experiences and such. Well, Friday comes around and, unfortunately, I caught another, yes, another, chest flu. For people that do not know me too well, I drink 4 bottles of green tea a day, take the recommended amount of vitamin C per week, and I still get sick like it is my job. Last month, I had a chest cold just like this one (except a little less severe.) The first week of school, I had bronchitis. I swear to you people, I don’t think I’ve went more than two months without an illness my whole entire life! I mean, seriously, what is next? Pneumonia? I am seriously not very happy with my immune system right now, and I typically never have been happy with it. I’m going to live in a bubble, so then I don’t accidently get ill again. If anyone knows a great and fast acting homemade remedy to get rid of a chest cold or flu, please let me know! I miss being able to breathe through my nose… :/
Aw, Ben. :(
ReplyDeleteI swear we are so much alike, lol.
I get sick all the stinkin' time, whether its the flu, a cold, or a cough I can't seem to get rid of. I get the stomach flu at least twice a year and my sinuses and perpetually draining I swear! I get what you mean, it's super annoying. I will sit there and drink a 32 oz. peach mango smoothie, which has three times the amount of daily vitamins C and B12 every time I'm at work, but wouldn't ya know I still get sick. The smoothies are great though... any way, I would recommend this body soap, it's Johnson and Johnson, yeah the baby soap, but it's like menthol and it's for colds. Use it in a hot shower and it feels superb! Your nose will be running like crazy afterward, but, hey, sometimes it ain't a bad thing. AMIRITE? lol.
Oh, and I've had pneumonia at least, oh, carry the one... 5 or 6 times in my life? Maybe more, I had in ALL THE TIME when I was little. I haven't had it recently, but it's kept me in the hospital for a while and almost took my life as an infant, so yeah, stay away from that guy.
But hey, man, gotta keep strong. And you can always stop by and get a smoothie, if not just because they're freakin awesome. :)
I am glad to hear you had a pretty good Thanksgiving. Mine was pretty good as well. It was nice being able to hang out with family and friends. Unlike you I did not get sick, but it does make me a little surprised. It seems like every year I get some sort of sickness over Thanksgiving. Last year was terrible; it seemed like the whole break I spent it laying on the couch. I had a terrible sore throat as well as a stuffy nose. When I get some sort of sickness I am totally out of it, and the whole idea of being productive is totally lost. Some say when I get sick I am just being a baby, but I totally object. I am here to tell you it could be possible I just get hit harder with my sicknesses. From the sounds of it, it does sound like you do get way sicker than me. Although you are sick now it might be for the best, this may mean you won’t be sick during finals or Christmas Break. I understand you have been taking precautions in order not to get sick, and that sounds great. My advice to you is not to stress over trying not to get sick, when I find myself doing so I always end up sick. My other advice is to always wash your hands, and keep your hands away from your face. This may sound obvious, but I caught myself using the public computers at school and then eating a snack in between classes. It took me one day to see somebody coughing up a storm, and then putting their hands all over the computer. In the end I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteJust Some Random Thoughts…
ReplyDeleteSo, I was watching this one show on MTV called “Cat Fish.” While watching it, my father stated to me that “love on the internet is not real love.” Well, for some reason or another, this made me think and ponder for an amount of time. A lot of people from older generations state that dating websites are not real romance, or maybe that having fun is NOT playing video games rather than going outside and exploring the world. This made me think because, well, this is just simply his perspective. Obviously, other people in the world do believe that online dating is romance and playing video games is the true definition of fun. Because of perspective, I was sort of thinking that, because anything that we see can be changed by our perspective, we have the ability to do anything. I’m sorry if I am sounding like a hippie stoner right now, I swear I am not, but let’s just consider the facts here. The definition of anything can be changed by how we perceive it. That means, in correlation, that anything we do has a possible outcome that can be changed by our perspective. That amazes me because that in corollary terms means that we can ultimately accomplish anything we literally set our minds to. Any outcome in our lives can be altered to our benefit by the perceived thoughts we contain about said situation or scenario. Again, this is kind of a weird thought to have, but I personally thing that this is extremely appalling and awesome. We can do anything.
Hey Ben! Reading this was actually pretty cool because you see a lot of people talking about this a lot and saying that the way our generation does things is not right. Well, really no one can say whether it is right or wrong because it is what we do, I don’t really know if it is what we choose to do because so much of the time people think it is the government putting things in our head. Well, really the difference is the advances we have in everything basically. Well, older people think that going outside and doing something is fun over playing video games because that is all they knew, but now that we have video games we can either do that or go outside and play, we have such a variety of things to do. We definitely perceive things differently than older generations or younger generations or even people in our own generation. So really my perspective on this is that, yeah, people do find love over the internet and video games are fun to certain people. It just really blows my mind when people try to argue whether it is true or not because something that might be weird for one person is completely normal for another person, everyone in the world is different and that is what makes the world so awesome, not everyone is the same. The variety in the world is so nice because things don’t get boring that way. You really think about the things everyone thinks about but are too afraid to say, it is awesome!

ReplyDeleteSo, this semester is finally coming to a close. The end is in reach, and I can taste the senses of holiday break on the tip of my tongue. In complete and utter honesty, I am ever so happy that this semester is almost over. Yes, I had a lot of fun making new friends and discussing new ideas in college, but I have been having a hard time getting a lot of the coursework and homework done on time and in a successful manner. I am excited though, because, since school is almost out for break, I am going to have a lot more time to visit my family and friends. Because we are all on separate paths in our lives, we have all gotten a little further apart than what we should be. It is kind of saddening, in honesty. Also, since break is just around the corner, that means that the holidays are also on its way! I cannot wait to wake up in the morning or Christmas, and just see every one so happy and joyous. I am sure a lot of us can relate, but the joy and pure excitement of Christmas just makes everything seem so bright and hopeful. I love that feeling; the feeling that everything is simplistic and not tampered with. Between the snow and the brightness of the Earth, everything is serene and completely wonderful. I love those instances where everything is positive, I live for those moments. As one of my favorite movies states (Zombieland) enjoy the little things in life. :)
Ben!
ReplyDeleteI am so there with you! I feel like I could just bounce right out of my pants when I hear the word "Break." Okay, so I will not literally bounce right out of my pants but.... yeah.
*cough* So anyway, I absolutely LOVE Christmas. I feel like it is a time where everyone is off from school and work and everyone can just relax. I'm going to be so very excited because I won't have projects to work on and I'll be free to do as I please. And HOPEFULLY we will actually have a white Christmas this year! Screw global warming, I want some snow! Watch, now we're going to get a ten foot wall of snow tomorrow...
I can't wait to just be able to sit around in pajamas all day like I'm five years old again. I've been so in the mood to just bake wonderful holiday treats and wrap gifts and buy things, haha. And maybe the old Panera Bread will give me a day off or two. Who knows. Well, Ben, I surely hope you enjoy your break and go a little crazy and do something fun! I'm not about to say YOLO but I will sign off with a good old fashioned Carpe Diem. Good luck!
I feel you on this one. I have never been so excited for Christmas break I don’t think, I mean yeah it is always exciting but for some reason I am so ready for this one. Going from high school to college was kind of crazy because the course work is much more complex. The schedule is ten times better because I have more time to do the work, but the work is just a little bit harder. I am so excited to be on break because I will finally get to relax and not think about the past work I had to do and all the course work that is coming, for three whole weeks pretty much! How exciting is that? And as you are, I am so excited to see family and friends and just hang out and relax like someone my age should. And not to mention the great feeling of Christmas in the air, as stressful as Christmas can be on bank accounts, it is the time of year that really makes me people happy. It is so great that it can just raise everyone’s moods and make everyone happier and more charitable. I love waking up on Christmas and waking everyone up so we can have breakfast and hang out and as a tradition, watch A Christmas Story. We watch that movie every year since it is on basically all day and I love it, it never gets old. When I finally have kids I am going to make them watch it so much that they love it too. Good luck on your exams and I hope you have an awesome break!
