March Madness

As all potential students will soon discover (and all current students fully understand), March is quite possibly the single most insane month of all of the academic year. You have year-long projects due, pages upon pages worth of essays to write, more readings than humanly possible, and big 'final events' of every single association on campus that you simply must attend.

A post concerning this topic would usually be more fitting perhaps a few weeks into the month but the sheer anticipation of all the workload is making me shudder. I have very often heard my colleages and friends claim it to be an obstacle course where the odds are rarely in your favour. And most of the time, it sure feels like one.

But one thing that we all tend to forget that the impending doom that is March is the epitome of student life in its entirety. It's always the case that in June or July, where everything has been handed in and all the events were attended, I always look back and oddly miss the chaos, the sleepless nights, and the constant testing of my patience (hehe!). It's such a unique experience, especially for people involved at school or really believe in volunteering their time for whatever cause it may be, to be able to balance both aspects of one's schedule, come out accomplishing so much and have your battle scars to prove it. In this case, the scars being the bags under your eyes or the empty cups of coffee in your sink, but to each his own ;) 

And with that, on the first Monday of the month, all I can say is...Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!*

Oh and I just wanted to second what my fellow blogger, Audrey, said about Marion Cottilard's Oscar win. Most deserving win of the night in my humble opinion.
