I’m realizing something this week: I am taking this whole coming semester FAR to seriously.<\/p>\n

Come on, really? I mean, REALLY.<\/p>\n

For instance, I have five classes, and one of them is math. Admittedly, that is terrible. That is the worst thing ever. That is like signing up to get beheaded. But I did anyway. And now that I did, I got all serious and down-to-earth. WHATEVER. I’m going to laugh this semester up. I will study, and work hard, but I’m not going to get all grim about it.<\/p>\n

And a job. OH NO. GOD FORBID I have a job that interferes with my free time, and takes away whatever remaining hours I have left over from my EXCESSIVE homework. So you know what? I’m going to go out and get a job, and have FUN. I’m going to work at that job for a long time, and have horrible stories to tell about it, and get treated like crap, and I’m going to LAUGH the WHOLE TIME.<\/p>\n

So I have this new visible future starting to take shape. Two years is looking like a long time, and there’s lots of maturing to do. Lots of money to save up. Lots of school to get out of the way. Get moving, Matt. Don’t waste time.<\/p>\n

GUESS WHAT.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have A GOOD TIME. I’m going to do all my work and sweat and hate it and wish I was dead or Canadian, and I am going to LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH.<\/p>\n

No, I’m not crazy. I haven’t lost my mind. And I’m not eating any mushrooms. Because I hate mushrooms.<\/p>\n

I’m just realizing that hey, God got me this far, and I did SQUAT. So if I actually work hard this semester, I’m not gonna worry ONE SINGLE BIT. I’m going to have a good time, and smile, and give big hugs, and mess up, and hate everybody, and not shave, and cut the cheese in public, and study my butt off, and read my Bible, and pray a lot, and dress badly, and forget my pencil, and eat dirt every day, and be poor, and high-five Knightro, and run around on campus, and work night shifts, and watch Lost, and visit my lady, and walk on the beach, and wear pants, and all the other stuff college students do.<\/p>\n

Okay? YOU HEAR THAT, STATISTICS? I DON’T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU!<\/p>\n

AND YOU! JOB! SHUT YOUR FACE! I WILL DEFEAT YOU! I AM MAAAANNN!!!<\/p>\n

Okay? Okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
