Library Binge


There comes a time in every college student's life where that student is expected to account for everything learned over four months. This time is called finals week. Now, this time is approached differently but for me it is a bitter sweet experience.
Most students find themselves cooped up in the library. However, these students aren't usually just studying. A new study showed that during finals week students spend 1 hour on facebook for every 2 hours of studying. Now this study may not be true but you get an idea on how ineffective studying can be.
For me, sites like twittter, facebook, youtube, google news, spotify and others deter me from my much-needed studying. I have yet to find a solution to this problem. It occurs every four months.
But distractions or no distractions, finals week does come and then it goes. For all those who are struggling to stay motivated for the rest of this week. Good luck and remember that how you perform on your finals correlates with how successful you will be.

Strescity

Here i am again, its almost midnight and i forgot to write in my blog this week. This week our professor for mcom 320 class asked us for our weekly assignment to find someone more stressed than we are and do something kind for them, then blog about it.
It was Saturday around one O clock and I still had loads of homework to do, namely finish my case report. As I was in the library my brother texted me and asks if I could help him real up some concrete in his basement so he could fix a pump which was under the concrete in a tank. I, at first said I couldn't because of homework but hanged my mind and helped him out for a few hours. I, mainly just hit concrete for a couple hours until it was all broken up them we removed the loose concrete and got into the tank to fix the pump. We found out that the pump actually wasn't broken but the drain was clogged with a plastic cap. We removed the cap and the water began to flow into the tank and the pump wonderfully pumped the water as it was designed to do.
Although I didn't get any homework done. I felt good helping my bro out. Sometimes you just need to forget about yourself and help other peeps out if you know what I mean!
