Lazy Dayz

Dear Editor,

I am writing you from my couch. This is my fifth day in a row of quality couch time due to the convenient schedule I made for myself this semester and a little help from the weather gods. This has given me plenty of time for quiet introspection – during commercials, naturally. What I have determined is that the school needs to rethink the weekday to weekend ratio. Students today have entirely too much free time on their hands. I speak from experience, having not had Friday classes since I was an eager and motivated freshman.

This speaks to a broader problem which is that students have too much freedom. Students, such as myself, are allowed and even encouraged to embrace their inner laziness. Classes are picked not for their interesting or compelling subjects but for their convenient times and even their well-suited locations. This is a travesty and proves that college students are not capable at planning their schedule on their own.

Left to their own devices it seems that students spend entirely too much time on couches, in bars, and otherwise wasting their young lives away. I say, take the power away from us because we clearly cannot handle the responsibility. I personally never want to have the option of watching movies on demand for five straight afternoons again.

While I have much more to say, a Law & Order marathon is starting so I’ll have to end my letter now.

Sincerely,
Concerned Student with a Severe Case of Senioritis
