It’s about fucking time.
“Act in such a way that you always treat humanity whether in your own person or any other, never simply as a means but always at the same time as an end.”
Yeah, that’s right Kant is ruling my life right now.

Finals in the grand scheme of things.
Finals are stressful, it is the time of year when Facebook statuses become unhappy faces and angry quotes. I know, my stomach begins twisting and all i want to do is tackle someone (oh yeah, i play Rugby). As i write now, everything that is wrong with my life has been emphasized by these tests which basically tell your teacher whether or not you were staring at that hot guy instead of paying attention in their class. But, you know what makes me feel better, other than hugs and Ella Fitzgerald? Reading the news. Yep, that’s right. Reading about continued famine in Pakistan, suicide bombings in Sweden, deaths in Afghanistan and human trafficking in Cambodia, makes me realize that Finals are a blip on the radar of life. They may make a big difference in what graduate school you get into or if you can final achieve that label of “that fucking smart kid”, but in the end, all you need to do is chill. Once you realize that perhaps you aren’t the most miserable person in the world, that’s when you starts see the shiny A appear on the front of your bluebook. Bob Marley really did get it right “Don’t worry. Be happy.” And for all the over achievers out there (like me), if you get a freakin’ A- instead of an A, tough. Just learn how to tell yourself for a change: “whatever, c’est la vie.” (but never settle, always go for what you want. But accept that you can’t ALWAYS get what you want).
P.S I Don’t give up, don’t freak out, they’re almost done! Just remember to breathe.
If this seems a little contradictory or weird, that’s just how my brain functions. Especially during finals.
