Recently, I’ve been waning in and out of different moods. I go from contentment to boredom to pure disappointment. I just began my second semester of my freshman year in college and let me tell you, all of the motivation that I had for school work last semester is pretty non existent. It just seems to have no purpose at all. When I’m sitting in a lecture hall listening to a professor talking about the planets, I can’t help but think, what does this have to do with me? Now don’t get me wrong, outer space is freakin’ awesome, but I know I’m not going to be an astronomer. I’ve been undecided on my major and my potential career since 11th grade. I think that my play some sort of role in my boredom with class. If I felt like I was taking these classes for my future career, maybe it would be a different story. Of course, there is something one can take from every class, but with my lack of direction, It just puts me off.

The thing that I have really been enjoying this semester has been being a part of the soccer team. For the entire semester, as a part of the offseason, we get up around 6 or 7 everyday, except for the weekends, and go lift, run or play. Lifting and playing have been my favorite parts of the offseason. Since the summer time, I’ve gotten significantly more into lifting than I have been in the past. I’m not necessarily a big dude, but it would be sick to get there one day. Anyway, soccer has definitely been keeping me sane. It’s tough when you’re confined to the dorms and the same people all the time. Everyone here is cool but it all just gets old. I’m really looking forward to the summer so I can see all of the people that I saw over Christmas. Christmas break was so fun and I’m really looking forward to 3 months of that.

On a completely unrelated note, well I guess its a bit related because its college, I’ve made it to the final season of How I Met Your Mother and I saw the episode where Ted proposes to his future wife. It made me so happy, I actually had a few tears of joy welling up. After 9 season of desperate Ted, it was so fulfilling to see him end up with someone. I really hope that it doesn’t take me until I’m in my late 30’s to find the love of my life.

Finally, to wrap the content of this completely random post. (Random is my specialty.) How sick is Third Eye Blind? I LOVE how they add such a happy, gleeful spin to almost all of their songs. For example, the song “wounded” from the album “Blue” is about a girl who was a victim of abuse by a past boyfriend. She’s wounded/scarred by this experience and just isn’t the same person anymore. Singer Stephan Jenkins sings about his love for this girl and how he misses her being around with everyone. He talks of how he wants so badly to see her come back from this episode of her life. It’s triumphant in a way. They have the ability to add that feeling to things that would in other cases be seen in such a negative light. Another song is “Blinded” from the album “Out of the Vein.” This is another song about being so completely into a girl that you are blinded when seeing her. She’s just so fantastic to look at that she’s like “looking at the sun.” I always loved how blatantly honest 3eb is in their lyrics. For example, “and i wanna stay right here, then go down on you for an hour.” Correct me if i’m wrong, but there is some serious romance in that line and I am dead serious. There’s just something about the lust in that line that contributes to the song as a whole and puts you in the right vibe when listening.

My point of this blog was to always just spill my thoughts out onto the screen as they come to me. This particular post was a perfect example of this. The stresses of college, and the love of soccer and Third Eye Blind flow wonderfully in succession.
