The end is (allegedly) in sight
Graduation is less than two weeks away. I’ve got seven more classes to go to and then I will be finished with college forever. So why does it seem like there’s not enough time in the day to get everything done? I’ve had a rough semester and I expected it with the heavy load of journalism classes I signed up for. But every time I think I’ve dug myself out of a hole, I remember a million other things I was supposed to do. I’ve always been good at working hard under pressure, but I feel like the pressure should have eased up by now. I just want to curl up with a book or go outside and take a walk by the lake, but I can’t because I have too much homework to do. Everyone I know is stressed out. I woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got online and a bunch of people were on Facebook and AIM because they were awake, desperately trying to finish homework assignments. It’s not right. Shouldn’t we be enjoying our last two weeks as college students? The real world is going to be stressful enough without burning ourselves out on last minute projects and articles. May 17 is 11 days away, but it might as well be light years from now.
