Screwin' around.

Screwin' around can become one of the favorite pastimes on Planet College. We've all done it. What is your favorite form? Video games instead of the lab report. One more Nine-ball game when you were supposed to be at class ten minutes ago. The list is endless. It can go on and on. It can assume many forms. Yes, even taking unnecessary courses to avoid declaring a major. One of the favored forms of screwin' around is coming up real soon. Spring Break. Authorized and even organized, raucous and loud, sometimes fairly costly. And you know what? It is all necessary. A certain amount of frolicking, procrastination and even outright irresponsibility is built in to our human selves. Most of us just have to goof off some time to some degree. When, however is it too much? Only you know. You know you are doing it. And you know when you are overdoing it. Screwin' around is often a necessary release of tension. A relief from the boring day to day drudgery that life on Planet College often can be. Give your self some slack when you just have to screw around. But. Don't give yourself too much slack. Keep your eye on graduation. With a degree. Get your diploma. Then? Well, then you can screw around as much as you can afford to. Right now? Keep the screwin' around to a minimum. Just graduate, baby.
