I’m a little late with the blog this week. This last weekend was busy, but I admit that today is a totally free day for me, and I’m just getting this up. I think I’ve found the biggest danger to my college education…<\/p>\n
It’s not debt from tuition, nor is it the weather (best wishes to anyone affected by current weather conditions), nor is it hunger.<\/p>\n
It’s AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”<\/p>\n
It’s actually a collaboration of a number of things. For starters, today is the wonderful break in my week where there’s nothing going on. Minimal classes combine with sleeping in, add a pinch of distraction like Netflix or Facebook and… VOILA! A whole day wasted. Today, I went so far as to do dishes to avoid doing homework (although… they really needed to be done…). Luckily I have an open evening to get my act together, but it’s about time.<\/p>\n
Be careful with the free time college life provides you with. Because block scheduling with classes starting at 8 and\u00a0extracurricular stuff\u00a0that run until 12 hours later no longer exist, you’ll be tempted to do the polar opposite. So don’t be like me, do something today.<\/p>\n
Maybe go vote?<\/p>\n
