The Senior Year Blues

It's an underlying stress that has added more weight on my shoulders.

The Senior Year Blues
Maria Perez

I'm graduating college in almost two months; and instead of being exciting, I'm stressed out. Yes, I'm glad about finally finishing school, but at the moment I have thousands of things I have to get done. And yet, I never seem to have time (or the motivation) to get it done.

Ever since my emotional breakdown in front of my professors (who in the end, made the situation worse), I've lost all sense of motivation to get my work done. Although I get work in on time, it usually takes me longer to get started. And with a twenty-page senior project due by the start of May, it feels like I'll never get it done. I know that my capability to write a lengthy paper, it's all about finding the motivation to start writing.

Whenever someone asks me to explain how I feel about the whole dilemma, I don't know what to say. On the outside, I seem fine. I can easily get up and get my day started. However, on the inside, I feel like I'm in the middle. I'm neither happy or upset. It's as if my schoolwork is underlying stress that puts so much weight on my shoulders. That that amount of pressure will either break me or push me to get my work done quicker.

In the end, I'm trying my best to search for the motivation to productive and do things. Not just in school, but in life in general. Once I graduate college, I have to actually live life. I'll find a job, pay my loans off, and find a place of my own. But I can't get it done if I have little to no motivation whatsoever.

I'm not writing this for people to try to help me out. I just figured that by expressing my emotions will help me feel better about the whole situation. Only time will tell if it'll work out in my favor.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
