Just sometimes...
Sometimes I get kind of annoyed with life. Not depressed, really, nor actually unhappy. Just...annoyed. After all these years of waiting for school to be finally over and done with, it seems like time has slowed to a crawl just to mock me. I try to be motivated, but it just doesn't happen. Also, what happened to spring break being actually a break? I didn't notice much difference other than I didn't physically have to be present in a classroom. I guess catching up on some sleep was good, but that doesn't really do much to relax you if you still have a paper to write, a lab report, and a research assignment to work on. I just want to have a real break when I don't have any work at all to do in that time (including studying) Even, say, two or three days. And don't tell me that's what weekends are for- weekends are kind of a joke, really. I doubt there's a professor who doesn't want you to work on weekends. Adults are all like "well when you get into the real world and have a real job you won't like it, blah blah blah." Yet I don't see many of them working after they come back from the office or on weekends except if they have a special project to work on. Or, if they work more than that, they're labeled "workaholics" and thought of as a little crazy. Yet students are expected to work as hard as those "workaholics" (I'll admit that at this point I probably don't just because of senior slide) and no one says anything about it. No one says "Oh those poor kids need a break."
Now I know this doesn't apply to everyone. Some people use college as a 4-year break. It's like everyone judges college students by those people. The only real way to have a break in college is to ignore work when you're on break but work twice as hard as it has built up while they've been gone. It really doesn't seem right to me. I know that I should get a job immediately after school gets our, but honestly, I'm kind of hoping no one will hire until after summer, because then, for the first time in my life since middle school, I'll have a real, actual, break. Is that too much to ask?
