Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and be away from campus and away from classes and sports it can be really refreshing. I know from experience that when I come back from any type of break I feel refreshed and ready to get started again. I feel campus is very dead right now. People are buried in their schoolwork and other activities and they don't have time to do anything else that they really enjoy. That is why I think the upcoming Thanksgiving break can be really good for me and my classmates.
After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of...
Noah, I agree with this so much. Even though I only get two days home for Thanksgiving Break because of basketball, I am beyond excited for it. School and being away from home can be so mentally draining sometimes and it is going to be much needed right now.
ReplyDeleteThe semester really is getting old right now. Most of my classes have been going pretty well, but one class is really burning me out. Inconsistent deadlines and requirements have made it very difficult to plan around the course, but they also make it hard to plan to actually take a break for Thanksgiving. Right now, we have two assignments with due dates over break, so I am hoping these will move away from break so I can properly enjoy the break.
