It’s about that time of year again, folks. The time where I kick back, relax, and complain about everything for your entertainment. Freshman year was an experience, which has been well documented, but it did not prepare me for Sophomore life as much as I had hoped. So without further ado, let us get into it.
The first and most important thing is that this semester has SOMEHOW been crazier and more time consuming than either of last year’s were. And last year, I had no time to spare! For all you non-math majors out there, that means I have "negative time" to do things this year. I literally owe the universe time because I have used more than I was allotted by the space-time continuum. But I don’t have any time to make up the time that I owe the universe, which means I might be thrown in universe-prison for time-stealing. Growing up, I half expected to end up in prison one day, but not like this… not like this.
Now, obviously this frightening lack of time has led to me simply not sleeping… at all. Like, ever. Sleep deprived me has been an interesting fellow. He has had two mental breakdowns, one of which was in public. It happened in Mellers when he sobbed about the bendiness of the spoon in his left hand. It was truly a signature moment. Unfortunately, I cannot recall most of his adventures as I have had my mind turned off through 99% of the shenanigans. Except for that time he was in a hallway with nobody around and called himself Mama out loud, but that is unimportant. What else can I complain about?
Ah yes, the social aspect of year “numero dos”, as the French say. Now on the one hand, in the second year people grow closer than they were in the first year; but on the other hand, not having a curfew means sometimes bonding with the fam-squad consumes entire months before you have time to breathe. One day I thought I was going to a nice leisurely parade with the bros, and I ended up in a Mexican Standoff in Arizona involving the President and CEO of Pureflix. It was a pretty big deal. Made the fourth page of The Flagstaff Gazette, which, as you all well know, is the third most prestigious newspaper in Flagstaff. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but it was unexpected and took more time than I anticipated, which made my already-too-big debt to the universe even bigger.
It hasn’t been all bad though. Working all summer replenished my Taco Bell funds, and there was even room for the occasional Dominos! There aren’t as many gen eds this year so classes are more lit, I didn’t schedule any for 8 AM so that’s been nice… yeahhhh. Fun times.
Alright, well it has been nice catching y’all up but I got a paper due tomorrow morning which I haven’t had time to write yet, so I gotta go. I’ll see you all later!
