Obligatory Post: Nothing

This is the obligatory post.
I am much obliged to post at this time because it is the time before The Time: purposeful endeavors.

We have had a fun in the sun during Spring Break; we have done our incredibly ridiculous amounts of homework; we are in the doldrums; we have hit the middle-age spread.

We have plenty of things to do, no doubt about that: cards to write, books to read, poems and history dates to memorize, music to steal, floors to vacuum. But are we? No. We are doing nothing. This is why we need accountability, graded projects, and future income in mind.
"There is always room for improvement.... room for someone to improve upon us...."

We have had our fun doing NOTHING. Now, let's get something done.
I am looking forward to studying in the library again. Although when I am actually studying in the library again, I have no doubt that I will be looking back upon this exact moment wishing I had savored it more. But there is only so much Nothing one can do before you go mad.

You can only Facebook, Pinterest, clean, organize your life, socialize, and take pictures of stuffed cats around your school's campus so much before you just have to take a shower, lie in bed, and stare at the bug you had squashed and left on the ceiling above. You begin to make lists, compartmentalize, and freak out about all of the things you have yet to do, and then you realize that these things can only happen in due time, and they will, happen in due time that is.

To end this fantastic blog post about Nothing, I leave you with this quote to take and think about:

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." - Albert Einstein
