2. You have spent more time figuring out that you only need a 54% on the final to pass than you have actually spent studing.
3. When you are swamped with homework and spend your time making up lists like this.
5. The test papers are no longer worthy of the fridge door.
6. When the campus drunk tells you you should study more.

There is a certain freedom that comes from being close to God's handiwork. The body relaxes and the mind clears. It's at odd moments like these that I tend to stop and re-evaluate life. I always end up on the same page--"Ecclesiastes." (i.e. a book of the bible) I am under the opinion that most of us are so consumed with our urge to win the "rat-race" that we seldom take the time to think of why. Who really wins and what is it they win? These compelling urges seem to propell us past mere subsistence and into the wasteland of selfish desire.
Often times, such revelations come lifetimes too late.
In youth, we are too preoccupied with the constant pace of life to care but, the old man on his deathbed can do nothing more than reflect--only to realize all too late that it is the things we take for granted that matter the most. We deny ourselves the true joys of life...compassion, love, and obedience towards our creator. Pride, ego, and vanity lie in wait to destroy any person daring enough to go against the grain.
Everyday, people are pushed aside, rejected, hurt, scorned, and denied the necessities of life. If the true meaning of life does not lie in the rectification of these corruptions, then where? We keep pushing, competing, and working to accumulate more and more with full knowledge that our end is comparable to our beginning. In the end, our effect on this world is simply a negative or a positive.
as one person put it...."even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat..."
