The time is 12:23am and I just finished another round of Billy Blanks "Boot Camp" workout with my lady. Some how it just dawned on me that this week is spring break. Ahhhhh man, the time of year where the inner savage is given permission to be just that, a savage. I remember when I used to look forward to this time of year as an undergraduate of Florida A&M University. I'd sit and make plans with my fraternity brothers to leave the town for our annual Panama City break. Definitely good times and great fun. As I got ready to make my annual call, I realized I was fully employed with a job I have to report to in the morning. AIN'T THAT A BI***. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to receive my bi-weekly direct deposit and all, but this break would really be what the doctor ordered. While the collegiates are out of town drinking their lives away, sleeping until the middle of the day, sunbathing, partying to loud music, and enjoying the company of the opposite sex, I'll be home preparing for another day of work.
Welcome to the life of an adult. This is a world filled with responsibilites that can't be placed on hold for self fulfillment. Welcome to the life of business files, company e-mails, nagging bosses, and needy clients. The aroma of coffee beans and the groans of caffine addicts who need their daily fix. ::Shudders:: I guess you get use to it after a while, but it doesn't stop me from missing the good ol days. Forgive me collegiates lol, but I'll more than likely live vicariously through your facebook photo albums and reflect on the days of my youth. If I can offer a bit of useful advice, I would say enjoy undergrad and do as much as you socially can, because when you walk across that stage, the music stops, the lights go off, and the party ends. See ya on the other side lol.
I'm Out...
