Wasted Weekends

Weekends are merely a tease to the common student. On Friday night you get all giddy after realizing how you don't have to get up and go to class the next day. Then on Saturday, you waste your day away because "It's the weekend, dang it, I don't feel like doing homework!" Then Saturday night comes around and you sit around with friends and stay up late laughing about how much work you should of done that day. Then, instantly, you remember you have church in the morning! You set your alarm and dive into bed.

As you sit in church, hearing and not listening to the sermon, your head starts to swirl with all the work you should have done the day before...you should have written that paper instead of watching all 3 Lord of the Rings DVDs, you should have finished reading the last chapter instead of burning your retinas by playing 3 hours of Playstation. After church, you get home, completely worn out as if you had just run a marathon, and you sit down angrily thinking about how you should have had a productive weekend.

This horrible cycle of laziness/lack-of-motivation and "I should have..." is something every college student struggles with on a daily basis. Will there ever be a time when you say to yourself, "Yes, right now at this very moment in my life, of my human existance, I want to do my homework." Will that ever happen for us college kids? It's a head scratcher for sure..I'll keep you posted if an answer arises.

Now, as always, you should go outside, play with your younger siblings or your pets (which should be, like Bob Barker would say, spade and neutered to reduce over population). Have a superb day! Peace.
