“It’s times like these you learn to love again”

            - “Times Like These” | Foo Fighters

     It’s about time I’ve had some lyrics on this blog. 

     It’s suicide season among university students – and no, I’m not speaking literally about suicide, (although I’m sure rates are high at this time of year), but it’s nearing the end of the semester and professors go crazy with evaluation.  Assignments and exams are hitting students in the face from all directions.  Studying takes up about 98% of your life and the other two per cent is shared between sleeping and eating. 

     Sleepy and malnourished, anyone?           Right here.

 

     As I was studying for a mid-term that is nowhere near the middle of the term *raises eyebrow*, I was just cruising along, enjoying a little Foo Fighters and Times Like These played and it made me realize that it is definitely study time when you think all of your interests, hobbies and loves in life, hence “It’s times like these you learn to love again”.  It’s when you have ZERO time for it all, it seems so appealing.  I am well aware that my interpretation is not the intended meaning of the lyric, this is what crossed my mind as I heard it.

            What would I like to be doing instead of studying? 

-       Writing a decent blog post that is not about school

-       Reading a book purely for leisure (although some I have read this were really good)

-       Being creative – doing a craft – making a friendship bracelet!

-       Watching television/movies

-       CLEANING MY APARTMENT

     Those are the first few things that came to mind, but trust me – there are MANY more.  So, I should get back to studying and you can all get back to your lives!

PEACE
