laziness / lack of motivation. what's the difference?

As mentioned in my prior blog post, I'm in my final semester of school. I have an international business law midterm coming up on Tuesday, and I have no intention of studying for it until maybe Monday afternoon/night/Tuesday morning. I'm currently laying in bed/sipping on a cider thinking about how fucked I'm gonna be on Tuesday, but that's still not enough motivation for me to prevent my imminent doom. Anyway...approximately 3 minutes and 47 seconds ago I thought, "my oh my! what an excellent topic to gloss over in my next blog post!" So here it is. This little shindig is going to be about the drastic decline in motivation since I started college.

Because I'm too lazy to actually form articulate sentences to describe what I'm going through, I drew a graph instead (plus I like pretty pictures, so there's that).

Basically my motivation is at an all time low, and I'm just ready to be done with school so I can graduate. Honestly, I'm burned out. I need a break.

You got to admit. That's a pretty decent graph. At least it's accurate...unlike this:

Also.....where's the y-axis though? HMMMM????

The final chapter.

Well, this is it.

I'm in my last semester of college, so I thought it would be particularly fitting to revive my blog and talk about my final days in the academic world. I started this blog during my freshman year because I was a narcissistic asshole who thought I could somehow become a popular blogger (or something childish like that. Idk what I was thinking..). It would be interesting to see the growth I've experienced since then...(if any...kidding, I definitely matured..just like a fine wine. So classy).

Anyway, this is just an introductory post since I'm too lazy to be reflective/introspective at 1:25am. We'll see if I can actually commit to this blog like I somewhat did almost 5 years ago.

Peace out, girl scouts.

Bringing it to a Close

Today I finished my last day of classes. The only thing that awaits me is finals, which starts on Wednesday.
It's a lazy Friday for me right now, so why not write a new post?


At this moment, I am watching 500 Days of Summer (in Spanish). Why, you may ask? No reason at all.


Anyway, this is not what I wanted to write about. I have been doing some reflecting on my freshman year in college. I can honestly say that I have learned so much about myself as a semi-independent student living thousands of miles away from my parents. Being away from home really made me analyze my belief systems. Why do I hold on to certain beliefs? Do I actually believe them or do I believe it under obligation from my parents? These types of questions really were influential in reshaping my worldview, and I know for a fact that I would not be experiencing all this if I were still at home.


I actually feel comfortable with who I am as a person because I really had to pick and choose the certain values and belief systems that only I agree with. With that being said, I'm glad I'm in college. I would not trade this experience for the world.


This college experience was a good learning experience in the areas of friendship. At the beginning of the year, I felt desperate to find friends, fearing that I might end up being perceived as a loner. Unfortunately, I lowered my standards in the quality friends I made, so I shouldn't have been surprised that these so-called friendships were phony. Yes, these poor quality friendships I made ended up horribly, but it was another life lesson that I will never forget.


As for living situations go, all I can say is that it's tough. Having a roommate for three quarters of the school year and abruptly leaving half way through the second semester, was probably the most frustrating event throughout my school year. I know I am not a perfect person, but I really did try to work things out as a civil roommate. Frustration, anger, and betrayal were growing inside of me even to this day, and it is still so difficult to let go of bitterness and animosity towards someone who lacks maturity in certain situations.


On that happy note, freshman year was not what I expected. Even though my situation was not close to being 'ideal,' I am grateful that all of the little mishaps occurred; without them, how will that make me a better person? Sometimes in life, trials come along to make you a stronger person. These life events give you the experience needed to succeed in life. This most certainly has been a growing year for me, and I will gladly accept life as it comes my way, whether good or bad.

Where have I been for the past 3 months?!?

It's been such a long time since I've been on blogspot! I have about 2 weeks of my freshman year left, and once finals finishes up, I hope to write a legit post about the summation of my first year in college!


For now, instead of studying for finals, I've been pretty active on tumblr and youtube. Since I am such a master at procrastination, I have attempted to edit a video to one of my favorite songs by Jenny & Tyler. Their whole album is for free! click here and enjoy some wonderful music.


To make this blog entry appear longer than it actually is, here is the video I edited to the song "As Long as Our Hearts are Beating"

series finale of chuck

If you didn't know this already, my favorite show in the entire world, Chuck, had it's final episode on Friday. I admit: I was crying my eyes out during the last fifteen minutes of the episode.


A lot of times when I watch all the seasons of a certain show, I get attached to the characters, and the show in general. Pretty pathetic, I know. I see it as a journey that has finally come to a stop.


Though I am sad that Chuck is finished, I'm somewhat glad they cut the show.


Seasons 1 and 2 were the best out of all the seasons. Chuck was so awkward, and the sexual tension between Chuck and Sarah was tremendous.


After those seasons, everything seemed so forced.


It was getting pretty obvious that NBC was collecting the scraps they could get just to keep the show running, as displayed by the excessive and not-so-subliminal Subway messages. The plot for the last three seasons was drying up, and the action scenes became cheesier.

It's sad that Chuck was cancelled. I bet if Chuck was on another network, its success would have been greater. Look at NBC's lineup of shows: barely any of them lasted more than a season. Chuck was lucky to have all the support from its fans. Without their excessive Subway sandwich consumption, Chuck would've ended after Season 3.

HELP! I'M DROWNING!! ...in homework.

I realized I haven't made a new post in nearly a month because I'm so busy!!


This semester I'm taking 18 hours of classes, and there's just so much reading to do! Want to know what courses I'm taking this semester? ....good! I'm glad you want to know!! Listed below are the classes I'm taking, and my opinion about them.


Business Statistics: SO CHILL. I love math related subjects, and my teacher is pretty cool. No complaints  :)


Christian Heritage: not my cup of tea. Seems a bit too philosophical for my taste. Professor is dynamic!


Chapel: no comment. haha


English: so far, pretty easy. My classmates are basically lifeless...discussions don't go well in this class.


World Oceans: not interested in this subject at all, but my professor is so adorable!! Cute little old lady :)


Business: LOVE. EVERYTHING. ABOUT. THE. CLASS.


Leadership: two hours straight of discussion what a leader is can get bland very quickly.


Besides classes and homework, all I do is eat (I'm pretty sure I gained 5 pounds this week), work out (while reading homework), and stressing about how much stuff I have to do.


Alright, that's it. Pretty lame month, but at least I'm still alive right?!




or am I?!?! dun dun DUNNNNN!!!!

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS IS SO STUPID!!!!!

I just finished watching the winter premiere of Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, and I was absolutely stupefied.


Honestly, I think all of ABC Family shows have below par actors with emotionless acting abilities, and slow moving plot lines; however, I still find myself watching PLL just to find out the identity of A.


*SPOILER ALERT*


I suffered through the first 45 minutes of the episode, but then I started paying attention when Emily was in the greenhouse alone with A. Blah, blah, she was getting her ass kicked by A. ok, that's not the point. Right when Emily was on the verge of death (ok, I'm exaggerating just a bit...), Spencer and Aria came to the rescue. Since Aria and Spencer are soooo threatening with a stick as a weapon, A retreats to a corner out of desperation.


Spencer kept getting closer to A, with a perfectly functioning flashlight in her hand, aimed at the ground.


At this point in the show, I was yelling at the television.
Isn't one of the main goals in the show is finding who A is?


WHY DIDN'T SPENCER SHINE THE FLASHLIGHT IN A's MYSTERIOUS FACE???


Seriously! The writers/directors were obviously unaware of this major flaw.
