Random Ponderings
Friday night was fun. Looking back its kinda hard to believe that that was my first formal, but it turned out pretty awesome. Its too bad that it didn't clear up anything and only served to add to the confusion.
Immature people are really getting on my nerves. Not that I am always the most mature guy in the world, but there have been a couple things recently that just boggle my mind. People need to learn basic manners/courtesies such as sacrificing for the good of friends. Certain recent events, in my mind, are simply inexcusable. To be willing to hurt a friend of yours just because it will make your life a little easier or for brief minor pleasure is just simply wrong.
Another thing that is bugging me is the Wake mindset. Not sure what it is about this place that makes people so crazy this time of year. I will say this to all of my friends here at Wake, "FINALS/CLASSES/GRADES ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD" I will repeat because it bears repeating, "Academics are not everything." There is no reason to exclude more important things in your life such as family, friends, sanity ... etc. for endless studying that makes you miserable and does not help you do any better. A week from now life will go on as it has no matter what you get on your finals, and looking back you will not even remember those grades. What you will remember are the friends, fun times, and enjoyable moments that make life life. No one is saying that you shouldn't study at all, but there is a limit beyond which it is no longer helpful and is simply self destructive behavior.
No lyrics right now because I am not in a particular happy, singing sort of mood.
