Cliché, I know, but it's on everyone's mind...end of year stress and summer desires.
Now it feels like we are on the home stretch, we can taste the pollen in the air, the warm summer breeze, the sand at our toes...but we have to wait about 3 more weeks.
We CAN do it :)
Everyone has to step away from the beach and the bars and realize how great it is to finish school with a bang, finish how you started, motivated, organized and with good grades.
Easier said than done, but as rising upper classmen we must look at this summer as the time to step up and get internships and real "big kid' jobs. The only way that is going to happen is with good grades and great references, aka your teachers and advisors. DON'T leave a bad taste in their mouth about you..
Not preaching because I am struggling to, I need to write this to motivate myself too, ha.
Summer is going to be great, I plan on interning with Wilma magazine (if i get it) and working somewhere....if anyone knows of a good paying summer job, preferably on Wrightsville beach (keep my commute short)
I wish everyone the best of luck on exams and all the final papers everyone is doing, and to all the seniors who are starting their real lives now.
Good luck everyone...keep pushing :)

Kim this was a very inspiring blog. I never thought about it, but the idea of finishing the year how you start is something I've never thought of. We all start the year so motivated and ready to do well, then something happens and we all slip off. But what if we all were motivated to finish the year exactly how we started? Imagine how many people would leave the year with a smile on their face instead of worrying about how well they did in a class and so forth. At least you would know that you did everything you could do to finish out your final assignments with all your motivated effort. Good luck to you and the end of the year, and also finding a job! :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about buckling down. I to find myself looking towards when school is over and I can finally relax with no worries of test or class. This summer should be great to I don't know exactly what I am doing but I know I will be around here and relaxing for a month or so.
ReplyDeleteIt really is time to buckle down! As a graduating senior it is extremely hard for me to put the same amount of effort into my work as I would at the beginning of the semester. I hope you get a great internship. Nowadays it is all about who you know and what you can offer. My internship has been amazing and I can only hope yours works out just as well. Jobs hopefully will not be hard to find. Just push through these next weeks and then it will be glorious summer!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny that you have written your blog about this. It seems everyone has the same opinion of this year coming to an end. Also everyone wants to be outside so bad just because of this bad winter. I haven’t been able to go to the beach and I am very self conscious if my body right now to even step out anywhere in a bikini. I would just feel way too guilty to go out to a bar or the beach without my final portfolio done.
ReplyDeleteIt’s funny, the other night I went out for the first time since it was my boyfriends’ sister’s wedding. I ran into a former friend of mine and of course she was drunk and decided to start a fight with me about how I don’t hang out with my old friends who go out drinking every night. I don’t call them anymore because I have grown up, like you were saying with “big kind” jobs. I know that once I graduate I will put in all of my time and effort to find a job by July 27, the day my lease is up on my apartment. She had no right to yell at me and start a fight because I decided to not do what she did and not find a job until a year after I graduate. I have a huge loan to pay off and benefits that need to be received. How can I not find a job?
You have the right idea Kim, Hope all ends well so that you can enjoy your summer.
Good luck getting that internship. I completely feel the lack of motivation that I have at this moment. I just want to have fun with my friends and keep forgetting and putting off assignments. Well, hope you finish off the semester great and I'm praying that I at least pass! That's how much I am not motivated! haha
