That One Late Night

It only takes one late night to ruin your sleep schedule.  One late night to ruin your morning.  One late night to get you feeling lazy.  One late night to get your eyes almost unmanageable to keep open.  Whether that one night was because of homework, partying, washing clothes, or eating, all those things can have a huge effect on how you're going to be the next day.  For example, I stayed up till 3 AM last night to redo a presentation project my friend lost on Waldo's library and so you could pretty much guess how I woke up. I can barely guess, I'm still half asleep.

Class Cancelations

Some of the best days in college are the days your professor sends you an email notifying you that class will be cancelled for the day.  Those days usually only get better when you realize that you only had that one class for the day. Even though it's might just be a fifty minute class, an hour class, hour in a half, two hour, or maybe even a three hour and a half class.  You come to notice that once you get to college, you begin to start losing sleep, even when you have a lot of time in the day sometimes, there really is never a day that you don't have something to do.  So for class cancelations, I appreciate you.

Never Know

It's amazing, all the things WMU has going on just for our (students) entertainment.  I've gone to see motivational/inspiration speakers, movie nights, bronco bash, plays, football games, etc.  Every time I go to one of these things I think every time, "what if I wasn't here?"  Really, what if I wasn't at WMU vs Central, Ameriville, or my best friend's brother's amateur MMA fight?  I wouldn't have learned or gained the memories made there.  Especially going to a play like Ameriville, it wasn't a choice of mine, it was sort of a mandatory thing for my FYE class.  But I'm glad it was because it was a different experience.  Listening to people's stories, watching all the time they took just to do a two hour play, the set up that took countless hours, and the thought behind the entire play line.. It's everything in an event that only takes two-three hours of your life that make-up some of the biggest moments in your life that you can always look back at and just think "hey, good thing I went there."

Late nights in the library

It is my first year of college and I've noticed I've spent the most time at the library than anywhere else.  The library has become my best friend, goto, my home, my lifesaver.  It really has.  I can't go to my dorm and study, or do my work, because I just get too comfortable and say the hell with homework.  I can't go outside and do my work because I get too distracted and I'd rather do something fun and productive.  I can't work around my friends because God knows I wouldn't even bother to take a backpack or book.  So I have the library.  I have the library for all the hours I do not have anything to do and even then, the things I have to do consists of me going to the library and doing it there.  So bam, THANK YOU Library for being my best friend, goto, my home, my lifesaver.

In Class With Carrie

After watching Carrie the other day in class we talked about the characters and what roles they played within the movie.  And this, I learned a lot from.  Really because I never thought into a person's role on a film.  I never thought about really who was good and who was bad, or who was good was really bad and who was bad was really good.  All this depending on which point you're looking at it.  And it's so crazy because even the person that's good, if you look really into it may have the worst intentions and the person who is portrayed as bad may have really, the right intentions.  Which is pretty messed up, but at the same time pretty cool.  Pretty cool.

Headaches of Tests

You know when you study and study and study and endlessly study for an upcoming exam and by the end of it you feel like you have everything down?  Your friends can quiz you on certain theories, words, philosophies within the unit and you can answer them like you're giving off your first name.  Then when the day of taking your exam comes you get in there with your highest confidence ever met and you sit down, wait for that test to come to you and once it does you open the first page and then.... then... well then you realize you don't know jack.  Isn't that so funny?  Then you do the best you can and after you turn it in and leave you're just thinking what the hell?  I just bombed that test.  Does it make sense?  Nope.  But you have another exam next Thursday, so you have to get over it and hope it doesn't happen to you again.

Beneficial

I find that just getting some sleep can go a long way for me.  Life can seem like a major headache with school, jobs, relationships, family, etc.  All of these things that can hit you in a way most other things can't usually have the simplest solutions.  For me, just laying in bed and taking a nap or just going to sleep for the night always solves my biggest problems.  These obstacles in life really are never as big as they seem, but once you start putting them in a position where they can take it's tool on you, just go to sleep.  Displace yourself from life for a few hours and once you wake up, you'll have a  clear head and you can just continue walking through life the way you want to and not the way your emotions and thoughts are pushing you to.
