I am staring at this blank computer screen and I am contemplating everything within me.

WHY am I up? WHAT time did I go to bed last night?

WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT? WHAT am I going to write about?

WHY AM I STILL UP?

I think about everything for a moment and realize every response to those questions… oh yeah… because my dumbass was bored, took several naps, and now – with the thought of classes in just a few short hours – I cannot go to sleep. How many of us can relate to doing this over and over? Especially if we are in college and we claim to have covered almost all of our notes …. Right?... so now we’re thinking... now what?
