Trying to Stay Sane

By: Sarah Schwadron '14


Hello. My name is Sarah Schwadron, and I am an eBay addict.

Well, not really. But still. It’s become an unhealthy addiction, as well as boredom buster.

I blame my floor. When we’re bored, that’s what we will do. Go on eBay and try and find cute designer stuff for cheap. I’m not as bad as some people, as I am cancelling my account fairly soon. But I bought a bag that I have wanted since sixth grade for pretty cheap, which I’m happy about…although my bank account isn’t. Opps.

So my optimism about this semester is starting to decline a bit. It’s all thanks to Freshman Writing. Two papers due on Friday. Plus a presentation due Monday, along with a lot of reading. Most of the freshmen I know are not excited about this week. At least my Core class has one essay due on the fourth…even though that’s the same day my European History paper is due. That’s on the French Revolution so that should be fairly simple/straightforward though. Oh and I have a Human Services test on the first.

All I can say is thank God for my To Do list. If I didn’t have that, I honestly do not know if all my work will get done. Every time I find out that I have a new assignment due, it gets added to the list. While the sheet of paper becomes a bunch of scribbles to anyone else, I can decipher it and that’s all that matters.

Now it’s time to go tackle at least one paper (translation: open a word document, type in a heading, and then wind up on facebook or eBay for all the time I’m supposed to be working).
