We Can Do It.

I have had a sudden burst of inspiration. Perhaps it was the countless TED Talks I have been watching in order to procrastinate from TOK, or perhaps every single conversation I have ever had with Mrs. Decoff has finally sunk in. It doesn't matter. The point is, I have realised that we can do it. And, most importantly, however we do will be FANTASTIC, it will be THE BEST. Because it will be the best that we can do. Sure, maybe you could have studied longer for that test. But at what cost? What would you have given up to study for that extra hour? An hour of talking with your best friend, an hour of watching cat videos, an hour of running, reading, singing, dancing, LIVING. Well, I don't think it is worth it. Because that hour meant something to you. Even if you were sad and crying, it has made you who you are right now. If you had not spent that hour doing whatever it was you did, you would not be who you are right now.

Maybe this is stupid. Maybe I am totally wrong and we should spend all of our time devoted to studying and being generally unhappy. Maybe I sound like a desperate wanna-be motivational speaker right now. But I don't care. Because I'm pretty sure that we're all closer to crazy than we've ever been right now, and what we need to realise is that it is okay to not do homework for one night, and it is okay to not finish all the questions on the math assignment, and it is okay to do what you can do, what you should do, and what you want to do, because despite the fact that we are stuck here for the next few months, pretty soon we will be gone and we will all regret not watching the Trolol video one last time before we analysed the shit out of Shakespeare.

So don't feel guilty that you are reading this post right now instead of working on your World Lit paper (and don't freak out because you just remembered that World Lit papers exist), instead do what you can when you can and be satisfied that you'll be happier because of it.
