The
end of my final semester of college is coming faster than I want it to, and
once more, I find myself swimming in papers and presentations. A typical end of
the semester scenario.

But
this semester, I’m not overly stressed about the pile of work surrounding me.
While I’ve been spending the majority of my free time hiding in the stacks of
King Library, searching for books to help me with these papers and projects, I’m
not worried about finishing everything.
It
will all get done, even if I take a break to go hang out with my friends (this
is a mindset that is strangely foreign to me).
Because
as much as I love that I’m writing a research paper about societal reactions Beyoncé’s
song “Formation” and another paper about gender in advertising, I can’t fully
seclude myself in cubicles in King during my last two weeks of college.
I
have a bucket list to complete, and while writing an academic paper about Beyoncé
may or may not be on that bucket list, there are other things I want to
complete, too. I still would like going to a baseball game and visit my favorite
spots on campus one last time.
And
as exhilarating as I find writing papers about gender in the Western genre to
be, I’ve finally come to the realization that this thing which people call “senioritis”
is beginning to creep into my mindset. It’s not that I’m slacking off – I’m
still doing all my work and I’m still applying for jobs like crazy – I’ve just
come to the realization that I need to enjoy what little time I have left.
While
I have very little time left, the key is that I have time, and it will all get done.
