Picture this

Imagine waking up one morning and realising that you wasted a majority of the last 3 years doing something that bores you to tears. Imagine the effect on morale when the gradual lack of enthusiasm you harbour has produced mediocre reading, with comprehension of what you're supposed to be learning, falling lower and lower, page by page. Also, this has led indirectly to my being basically held back another year, making me even more bored and angry. Exams are now three days away, and i have yet to have read more than an half an hours worth of syllabus this semester. The horror.... the horror...

So, I have decided that I would at least dedicate half an hour to something creative, and vaguely fun, namely writing. Join me, while I explore passtimes that are more fun than reading ever growing amounts of political theory, and european administration.

1. Consuming alcohol.
It makes conversations more bearable, it gives you energy, and when consumed by larger groups it sets the table for a lot of fun and schenanigans. Social sciences does none of the the above, in fact, they often bring the opposite effect.

2. Reading history
History in most forms are more enjoyable than the social sciences. History tells the story of human development, and tries to explain how and why certain important events occured. Social sciences are to a large degree dominated by ideal models, semi-accurate theories, and too often tries to generealize before the subject matter is ready for extensive analysis. Therefore attempts to learn the material seems futile, at least when compared to the drama of history.

3. Blogging
Writing blogs is a creative outlet, and lets me speak my mind, no matter if someone cares or not. Writing termpapers is not creative, it does not allow much room for opinion, and professors tend to care if the paper is shit or not. Blog epic win!

4. Love
Love is great, because every time it occurs, it's different. Also, it makes you feel good, perhaps the best feeling in the world. It's even creative, as the ebb and flow of a relationship leads to a lot of fun interaction, and sometimes horrible heartache. Studying the EU blows because it stays mostly the same for YEARS at a time. You almost shit your pants when a new topic hits the light of day. The EU has never made me feel good. Ever. In addition, my input towards the EU is bound to have little impact on the union itself. It leads me to believe that I and the EUs relationship is one-sided, uncreative, and I think its time we broke up.

There you have it folks. I could have continued the list, but I think my dear readers get the point, I chose the wrong academic line, and so I pay for it now. No matter, I will be fine, I always end up on my feet. Life in general is better than studing EU and social studies.
