A Carefree Christmas (though this is an oxymoron...)

It's Tuesday! Last night was the finale of The Sing-Off and it was epic. The group I had hoped would win, Tufts University's "The Beelzebubs," did not win, and the group that I expected to win, "Nota," did win. It was disappointed, but satisfying at the same time- because though I was upset, I was also right. And being right is always nice. That's it for the news. If you could call it news.

With this post, I have decided to take a break from blog-posting for a little bit. Christmas is coming up quickly, followed by New Year's, so it's hard to find time between friends and family. Plus, it's difficult to find topics while not at college. And Jon Stewart's on hiatus, making things even harder. I'll be back some time after New Year's, so do not fret. Also, be sure to check back for a new song posting at some point soon. I'm trying to create a song pertaining to a certain upcoming holiday. I'll also have another one to post later hopefully. That is if my piano's acoustics work alright for recording on my sad little Macbook's mic.

"University"
Is a five syllable word
For "utopia"

Now, don't get me wrong- college is far from perfect. However, it is about as close to perfect as many can get in this society. Being at college is being inside of a bubble, with its own air supply (so you don't suffocate. Unless you're premed, then you're transferred to the pressure cooker). You have your own place to stay, you're finally free from home, you have great non-home food (well, this is of course dependent on where you attend), and you're cut off from most of the problems in the world. You can spread your wings and fly. Assuming that you're not scared of heights. It can be a daunting and stressful experience, but at the same time provides for the student a moment in their lives where all of the pieces of useless information they learned in high school can come together (except for Trigonometry... that's still useless). So for those of you who are hating college- try to enjoy it, knowing that these will probably be the best years of your life (Again though, unless you're premed).

And with, I bid you a carefree Christmas, a nonchalant New Year's, a blithe Boxing Day, and a pretty and politically-correct other holiday. I'm sorry if you were expecting a more epic post for the start of my hiatus, but you're going to have to just deal. And chances are I'll think of some new material over the break, so expect a nice return.
