LOL, this week’s topic is education! Which I know is probably the last thing you (and myself) want to hear about @finals @papersdueveryweek :) @mylackofmotivation but I hope me writing this and you reading this that we both are able to be re-inspired to push through and finish the school year strong.
Let me vent first though. I am sooooo over school right now. I am honestly sick of being told where to put my commas and that my thesis statement has a lack of supporting evidence. I am over going to class, and partially pretending that I am listening.
Hell, I am even sick of the weather, all of my clothes, and my recent music choices. It just all feels very pointless right now. Plus, the library is stuffy and I don’t like that.
When you’re little (and even in high school) you never expect for life to feel so difficult. You never anticipated all-nighters or the lack of nutrition or even that drama is still a thing. You never really thought twice about doubting yourself, and you probably liked school.
Speaking for myself, I particularly enjoyed art class and then going to recess after class. I lived for the enjoyed pre-made school lunches made with special care and thought by my parents.
I just want to know when I got played and life became so complicated. Also, why do most of my problems revolve around school? The cute guy you like in your class is an ass, you didn’t pass your last exam, your aunt won’t stop calling you asking how you're doing, you fell down the steps at a frat house, and you’ve been sick since February. So why is this all worth going through? It’s for the culture, just kidding, it's honestly to get an education.
I was thinking about it honestly and I thought to myself, what in the world would I be doing in my free time if I weren’t in school.
Yes, I have a job but I couldn’t do that all day but I guess I would have to because there would honestly be nothing left to do. I could travel but planes freak me out (long story), I could volunteer, I could just life lead me. This is all very true, but when you analyze the situation why give up something that some people never get the opportunity to experience nevertheless complain about.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our own worlds and own individual problems that we don’t often see the bigger picture. College is hard. But, it will be worth it, and the hard times make us stronger in the end. But maybe even more important than that think of all of the people who wish to be in your situation.
Education is a pain but it's better to feel something rather than nothing at all.
