The Up-Hill Battle Through Dead Week is Coming To An End

I charged into it strong and will finish it begging for mercy

Dead week is coming to an end and there are many things that are flying through my head. One of the biggest semesters of my life is coming to a close. It should only be smooth sailing from here on out to achieve my degree, both major and a minor. That seems to be the norm as of today, but I am still pretty psyched about it.

But my thesis is soon to be in the review mirror. The class and paper that was the make or break for my degree has made it. I can finally return all these overdue library books (oops). I can throw the probably hundreds of papers of downloaded references into a stack in my closet. A few final touches onto my paper and I can call my capstone course complete.

I was also able to give many other classes the attention they needed throughout this week as well. And I will have to continue to give them love through the weekend to catch up. It's amazing what can take a backseat to a single class. Although it makes sense.

The late hours will soon come to an end. I have to say, it is pretty great of NDSU to extend library hours to 24/7 for all of us crammers. Thank god for the Blue Key Society for volunteering those late night hours. They are the reason that most of us complete our work on time and get a passing grade. Here's to you, volunteers of NDSU. I can't leave out the dogs that come around a few times during dead week as well. nothing better than getting to pet a dog or 5 while procrastinating multiple papers.

Speaking of procrastination, I should probably get back to working on some coding projects I have to do for a web design class.

Good luck to the rest of you who are out there struggle-bussin' along with me!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
