I’m not going to lie. This past quarter, I have experienced heavy doses of senioritis. Endless procrastination and a lack of concern basically sum up the third quarter of my senior year. It is not that I am completely unmotivated, but that I finally have a semester that does not affect my chances of getting into college as much as the previous ones. Its not that school has lost its importance, but that other things carry importance as well. This view on life is the reason I am now hurriedly trying to write four posts for my blog at 10:45pm. I also have a big test for math tomorrow, which I currently know nothing about. Up until this year, I have surprisingly liked math. I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment as I solved a difficult equation that required me to think outside the box. However, I have felt differently this year. Not just because its my senior year, but because calculus is just so tedious. I find that it has absolutely no practical applications, unless I want to become a physicist, which I really don’t.
I have also found much more practical ways of spending my time. Whether I am perfecting my basketball shot or experiencing a different universe on my playstation while playing Final Fantasy XII (a game I strongly recommend), I have effectively removed school from my mind. I guess that moderation is important, like the Guiness commercial, and I think I will spend a little more time focusing on school.
