What is it college students that lets us run on so little sleep?
I feel like everyone I know has a full course load, participates in at least 5 activities outside of class, holds leadership roles in these activities and still manages to have a social life. How is it that we are excited by high stress, no sleep and the feeling that we're never going to get anything done? And we don't stop ourselves. We just keep adding more and more to our schedules because, hey, that's not that much extra work. But when we do that ten times, we're now bogged down in our own choices.
Another conundrum: when a friend asks me to take ballroom dance classes with her, which will add 1-2 hours a week to my already crazy schedule, I'm all for it. But when we're asked to form 2 hour study groups for our classes, this seems like a hassle. Is it because the dancing is social? Or because I don't want to conform to the rigidity of an academic setting? Psych majors, please analyze and get back to me.
And with that, I've got to leave. If you don't understand my busy schedule, read this blog entry again.
