Another school year quickly approaches.
That's right, ya'll! I'm only a mere day and a half away from the glorious stress and pressures of living the student life, of which would include the regular over-consumption of caffeinated beverages; gaining at least five stress pounds; being virtually broke throughout the academic year; essentially, living in one of the study cubicles at the library; surviving those dreaded all-night-ers; and the occasional pinch of social anxiety here and there (I haven't even started on OSAP -- I WILL NOT go there. I might smash my computer...).
Would you think I were weird if I said I were LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF THAT?!
The correct answer is: YES -- but it wouldn't matter because you probably already think I'm weird!
Aside from the shit-ty (and realistic, I might add) tangible perks to being a student, there are (if you look really hard) positive aspects within our situation.
Let's see... making new friends! Learning! Having something to do! Or... I don't know, feeling like your life has short-term purpose (graduating)! See, lot's of stuff! I mean, given the pound of crap I was served every five minutes this summer, all that student stuff I wrote up there doesn't sound so bad. Heck -- I'm even looking forward to it! I'm as excited as those kids in the picture! Except I'm running to the 196 Express bus!
I just realized that the title says, "Wish list," so I better write one.
THIS is what I'm hoping for in this Fall/Winter academic year:
- I'd love an attractive T.A.! He could add to my go-to-fucking-class-kemeny motivation!
- Hoping that I'll make more York friends!
- Not looking for a boyfriend (boys suck), but someone hot to look at on a regular basis (i.e., TUTORIAL) would be nice.
- I need a note-taking buddy in each of my classes.
- Get A's in ALL OF MY COURSES!!!!! ALL OF THEEEM!!!
- I need to make it through PSYC this year, or I'll smash something...
- Maybe become more vocal in my classes?
- I thought this list would be more crazy.
Here's to this 'UGGGHHHHH' summer being OOOVEERRRRRR.
