Seniors Seeking Motivation

Dear class of 2012, 

You've dedicated four years and eight long semesters of attending classes and doing homework (for the most part). The last spring semester is creeping upon us as we prepare for the spring break and the new season. 

I'm sure most of you will agree it's getting tough. I find myself in the constant predicament between Wednesday night trivia or studying for the ole Thursday morning exam. 

The weather certainly doesn't act as motivation to keep up with school, work, sports, and homework. It snows we ski; it shines we float! 

I remember as a first-year student going to the library for hours and not even realizing it. Now, every agonizing minute that goes by seems unproductive as I brainstorm everything else I could be doing. Don't get me wrong I complete and submit all my work and show up prepared for classes (for all my professors reading). However, it seems that small amounts of work achieve long breaks and continuation seems like a chore all over again. 

Procrastination is all right in moderation. The Biederman's beer breaks need to happen once in a while to stimulate the mind and there's usually a game on that deserves a good brew. 

Don't feel bad; as graduation approaches  these are the times to appreciate what the collegiate world around us has to offer. So have that beer, take that break, and come up with dirty/witty trivia names, it may be the last chance you have.

As much as I know come fall of 2012 I'll miss moving back up here, but it's a relief to be done. So I wish the best of luck to all the seniors, hang in there, and I'll see you at the pub.
