Spring Break Starts!

austinskyline Spring Break Starts!

I’ve officially entered the realm of my last Spring Break ever; at least one of my own academic accord. It’s odd to say that I’ve finished my last midterm ever. If there was a vaccination for senioritis then I probably should’ve taken it a few months ago, for now I’m on full throttle cruise control until it’s time to put on a cap and gown. It’s almost more scary than it is exciting to graduate in the midst of a recession, I’ll exit stage left with my diploma in one hand and a brown paper bag held to my mouth in the other to stave off any lingering anxiety. Who knows how I’ll feel come May, but something tells me if won’t be far off from the mood MGMT captures in one of my favorite tracks: Yeah, it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do / Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

[MP3] MGMT -Time To Pretend

Until then, I’ve got one of the best Spring Break’s ever coming up in Austin and couldn’t plan a better way to cap off an enjoyable undergraduate career. Hanging out with Connor and some great bands whilst throwing back a few Tecate’s, my inaugural SXSW is looking swell so far.

So true, so true. Graduating is weird.

And plus I’m sure this whole “meltdown” will blow over real soon….ehhh
