University Girl

I was just thinking about how much summer there is left to enjoy this year... not enough. Sooner then you can say 'Yale' the school year will be back. Well it would be 'Harding' for me, 'Eau Claire' for some, and various other colleges and universities for others. Point being, summer always ends just as it begins. Before you know it you'll be hitting the books again, and I know who I'll being looking up to during those late nights of hard core cramming. Rory Gilmore.
Rory is the kind of person that can get straight As, and look amazing at the same time. She is incredibly focused on her school career and what she wants to do with her life. Kind of the opposite of how I am. But exactly how I wish I were. I want to sit at a desk for three hours breaking only rehydrate periodically. I want to sit down with a text book at breakfast. I want to be so involved with my studies that I can barely get out of the dorm until the weekend. I want to be on top of it, just like Rory. After all, isn't that what college is for?
It seems so silly to me now, that social life is such a promoted part of my school. Join a social club! Be a part of Spring Sing! Hang out with friends in the Student Center! It's all just fun and games until you fail a class.
But most people aren't that interested in study groups... they always want a break from school, not to go do more school when the school day is over! But I guess that's what you really have to do... And all that other stuff is nice if you really have the time. But I want to break the habit of making time, of putting off homework for my social life. I know that won't help me get a boyfriend or anything... but like I said in my last blog, guys are not my focus in life. Not yet anyway.
