Peachy
Can you fell pull of the halfway mark? Everyone I’ve spoken to this week is feeling the downward drag of midterms. The good news: we’re halfway to spring break. The bad news: yep you guessed it, we’re halfway to spring break.
Since midterms are mostly over and done with, it may be possible to take a breather. Don’t panic! The homework you’re procrastinating over will still be there when you get back. But, if you take some time and just do nothing, be responsible for nothing, organize nothing, a half empty day will be a half full one. Sometimes, particularly at this time in the term, there’s just too much. Too much reading, too much homework, too much drinking, too much rain, too much stress, just too much. Sometimes it’s okay to lump. Halfway through the term is a good time to be a bump on a log. Sometimes our precious free time is consumed with thoughts of: “I should clean my room, get caught up, do something productive.” These thoughts make free time a little less free.
So today, I’m going to stop, exhale, and just take the afternoon to be a lump. (After submitting this column of course) I may not be one tomorrow, but I am today, and that’s OK.
