Ode to Student Life
It's been about a day since I witnessed two people spontaneously jump out of a window one after the other. Others half drunk singing show tunes from a bootleg website link rather than YouTube. And then there's one that decides to cook breaded fish in the oven while their friend who has a 9am lecture spread avocado lazily on her toast after an all night bender. In the midst of all this craze, despite being so far from my own bedroom, I felt at home. Because I've been in all these positions before (except spreading avocado because that's gross) and I'm loving every second of it. I think there's a great comfort in knowing that your actions, however strange, are a norm in student life in whatever state you may be in. We may be under stress, but we soldier on after releasing so much tension and energy to the point where we saunter into 9am lectures like zombies. University students are brave and they should be commended for more than just getting their degree after surviving drowning in their student debt, it's managing to continue your existence after all the crazy stuff that happens in between.
