Rush

It’s nearing the end of semester, in fact it’s week 12 and this is the last week… Let me rephrase. It is the end of semester and it is that time of the year when all the work that you once put off, comes back to haunt you during the next few weeks. With my subjects only requiring me to do assignments, I do not have to work about studying, thank God! I never want to return to the year 12 madness that once seemed to consume my whole life. However, as the days near closer to the due dates of these various projects, I am beginning to regret not getting on top of my work more and more. If you have come across some of my posts, or perhaps your an avid follow of my posts (I don’t know why you are) you probably realise my lack of time management, a trait that I continue to suggest I will get rid of, but then precede to spiral out of control and lose track of all my time. I promise i’m not taking drugs everyday to get me into this delusional state, although, it may sound like it!

Every assignment accounts, with all of them nearing 40% of my mark it is nerve wracking that if I ruin this for myself, my high hope of reaching a HD for me work in media will be ruined. Why just media you may ask? Well, I take Politics and Asian Studies as well, and to say the least, it has taken me a while to warm up to them. Regardless it is important for me to ignore the new distractions that tinder and snapchat offer me and focus on my work. It’s both comforting and concerning that majority of other people can relate to the mad mess that I consistently find myself in. Is this generation a bunch of delusional idiots who can’t tell the time? Of course we aren’t, not all of us are struggling during this mad ‘rush’, the people that actually took the time to do the work when it was due, are the ones sitting back and relaxing, drinking some tea and watching all of us (peasants) suffer. I promise, next semester will be different. But… will it though… will things really change?
