The Doodling.

So, I've come to the realization that I have wasted unnecessary amounts of money throughout my life which has inadvertently led to the wasting of my time and my lack of knowledge.

Each year at the beginning of a new semester I buy a notebook for each class. When I buy these notebooks I make a commitment to do better this year, promising myself that this will be a new beginning, I won't spend countless hours in which I should be paying attention to my studies doodling, practicing my cursive, writing down lyrics, drawing masterpieces, etc, etc.

However, there comes a point in time when I just can't take it anymore. My ears can't take the droning, my mind is exploding with distracting thoughts, and my fingers are itching to do something other than taking notes. Eventually, I'll give into myself letting the ink flow on paper releasing the torturous thoughts of my mind.


At the end of the semester, I go back, look at my notebooks, and what do I find? The same thing I find every year. Everything but class notes.

Each of these is usually one of those 5 subject notebooks. Costing, lets say $3-4. That times 6-7 classes equals $18-28. With two semesters every year that's close to say $50.


So not only have I wasted precious money that could have gone to other necessities of a poor college student but I have also deprived myself of knowledge and time in which i could have learned the material rather than trying to cram what I missed the night before a test.


In conclusion, maybe the best thing would be to cease buying these thought releasers. I mean I have a laptop and there is now such things as Google docs.


Yes. This is the best decision.


But o how I will miss my mind-drain.
