the truth about college

I found this video today along with this article.

I hope people realize how much truth there is to this video. It pretty much explains my life, that’s for sure. Except for the part about sleep – that’s 5-6 hours on a good night.

While I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to leave my laptop at home and pay more attention in class, I can’t get by without my iPhone (or my Blackberry previously). I wrote about some of this last year, but this video has made me realize how sad some of these realities actually are.

taking advantage

As my time here at Cornell continues to wind down, I find myself scrambling to make sure that I actually get to do everything that I came here to do. I chose this place for a reason, and despite its terrible winter weather, its incredibly stressful lifestyle as a result of its seemingly endless stream of exams, there is always something more you can do to take better advantage of your time here

Refreshing

I’m not really taking any classes in my major this semester. Well, technically I am – they’re core requirements – but they’re completely different from the classes I’ve taken the past few years. This semester is widely known to be “the semester that Jenn has been dreading“. I put all of the worst classes, or at least the classes I liked the least, off until the last possible moment. Now I have to take them all at once.
