I was about to write an “In the News…” post tonight, but there really isn’t much news to announce except that Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again! Her and Scott Disick are expecting their second child and she is nine weeks along. I will continue to watch the shows on E! but I don’t really care too much about what’s going on in their lives and their scandals. Here’s an obligatory Scott Disick photo:
What I actually want to talk about is school. When I was a kid, my parents told me that college was going to be the hardest four years of my life. It was all that they instilled in me – that it was going to be 10x harder than anything I ever did in high school and that life in general was just going to be challenging. So when I would come home to tell them that I slept three hours one night or pulled an all nighter, they would look at me with wide eyes and say, “You need to sleep! It’s unhealthy for someone your age to be up that late – why do you do that?!” I would argue, “BUT YOU TOLD ME TO WORK HARD! Isn’t this what you were asking for?” It’s hitting me that these are the last few times that I’ll take two midterms in one day, that I’ll give a presentation in the morning and take a final in the afternoon or that I will cram 15 pages of notes in 30 minutes. After almost four years, I’ve come to the realization that working this hard for school doesn’t excite me…at all – but it is rewarding. I just think I’d rather spend my life working this hard for something I’m passionate about instead. What I want to know is…Mom and Dad – why didn’t you tell me that college was going to be fun, too?
On a lighter note, this fall quarter was extremely fun! I decided that at the end of the school year, I will be recapping my entire college career “by the numbers” along with some other end of school related posts. This quarter, I am grateful to be working with such wonderful people, spending my time building a community within my major and taking on this persona of Space Girl among other things that I can’t remember right now because last night I got four hours of sleep.
