Oh, crunch time again; the library, coffee shops, and most dormitory hallways are filled with screams of frustration, sighs of longing (on days when it is sunny, as opposed to snowing), and insane laughter at things that, with any normal amount of sleep, would not be that funny.
So, yes, ’tis the season for papers and projects, presentations and preparing for exams, but it is also a great time for non sequiters; at this rate, the only people who make any sense to me are the people that I myself have been studying with.
“It’s your fault! If you had never given me the spinny elephant, I wouldn’t have done this!”
“There is a ufo on campus, I kid you not!”
“I have centered myself enough that I am at peace with being a total jerk all the time.”
“Aaagh! I’m so hungry. I could eat my whole entire… hand.”
“It’s actually a 7 inch mohawk; it’s just french-braided right now.”
“I’m listening to Jesus music, so calm it down.”
Person 1 – That’s inappropriate!
Person 2 – Why? We’re both fully clothed.
Don’t do anything really terrible as a result of classes coming to a close – remember that summer is just a hair’s breadth away. However, if you hear about anyone doing something crazy and mentioning it out of context, drop me a line here, okay?
