I Managed to Survive All the Writing

I wrote a piece earlier ranting about what I had to look forward to. Here's the result.

I Managed to Survive All the Writing

If you read my previous article about how I will be a husk of a human by then end of my week of hell, congrats. This article, if it can be called that, is just my confirming that I am indeed still alive. I am more than a simple husk too. I finished all my papers and took my exams this week. All met with hopefully moderate success.

As I type this up I am on my way home sitting shotgun in the car. I am tire, and have nearly succumbed to sweet sleep multiple times. This morning I woke up with a cold on top of this paper writing induced exhaustion. But I'm still kicking and that's all that matters.

The point of this article is...well there really is no point. I'm fried. I can't come up with anything. All I'm looking forward to is walking through the door and being greeted by the cat's and dogs. Tonight is also Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency season finale. Tomorrow it goes live on Netflix. But I've been watching every week and need to see how this ends. I look forward to season 2 later next year. Back to my no ideas though. I am literally so done. This semester's end was just hell. If anyone ever tries to say a SSHA major has nothing to complain about I'd like them to write a thesis. Or write a paper on the Gothic aspects of a 20th or 21st century text. Fight me!

Anyways, I just have one more semester to go before I'm done as an undergrad. I'm applying to graduate school now and hoping to get in. My prospects look good though so I'm not all that worried. So yeah, I thought I'd just check in and tell anyone who's read my stuff that I am still alive. I don't know if there will be anything of interest in the coming weeks to write about as I'm officially on break. But who knows? I'll come up with something. I usually do.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
