Stevo's Ego: School's not over, yet

“It is unfortunate that I must be the bearer of bad news, so everyone please take a deep breath. Despite the fact you just returned from spring break, your collegiate minds may still be on the beaches or wherever you spent this last week. Tough cookies. I regret to inform you that spring break is officially over.”

It is unfortunate that I must be the bearer of bad news, so everyone please take a deep breath.

Despite the fact you just returned from spring break, your collegiate minds may still be on the beaches or wherever you spent this last week. Tough cookies.

I regret to inform you that spring break is officially over. I know.

So let us pause for a brief moment to release any stressful feelings we may have caused by perishing the thought of relaxation from our minds, and then pick up from there . . . any better? Yeah, I thought not.

Just think of it this way: summer is right around the corner, isn’t it?

That should be more than enough incentive to rev-up the work engine for a bit longer, especially if graduation is on the agenda!

I’m going to conjecture that if this is the case, you’re going to want to be on your best behavior.

It’d be a true shame if you’ve come this far, only to find out you failed that one class you needed because you loosened a few screws after spring break.

I don’t know what your family is like, but believe me: if I missed graduation for something stupid like slacking off, an extra semester would be the very least of my worries.

I’m already a poor college student. I don’t have enough money to skip town and even at that I feel pretty confident my mother would still hunt me down.

With that being said, I’ll offer some pretty generous advice, considering it’s free: study hard.

You don’t need to be a doctor to understand that college is important in today’s workforce.

But then again, you need college to be a doctor anyway. Hope I didn’t just blow your mind.

So, the next time you think to yourself I’ll just wait one more day to write that research paper, here’s a fun exercise that may remind you why you’re at college in the first place: ask your roommates what they want for lunch and then proceed to make it for them.

I know you’re saying to yourself now that sounds like a blast! Just think, slack off and flunk college and you can make people’s lunches for the rest of your life!

How’s that for a reality check?
