Senior year is not at all like i heard it would be. The idea of senior year being stress free and having all day to play IS COMPLETELY FALSE. I started to get really frustrated because of all the deadlines approaching...college apps, numerous video projects, independent studies... it's all one big sigh really.
It took a few weeks before i completely exploded in tears because of all the stress. Instead of moping around, i decided to redirect my frustration (sublimation) into something more constructive. I decided to pick up new instrument. So i picked up playing the ukulele (which i named Robson, hence the blog name). within a few hours, i was pretty fluent in playing, if you will.
I'm glad that i found a new hobby that I enjoy. If i hadn't done anything about the stress, i would have blamed the teachers for not grading fairly or something. i don't know... im just glad i chose to play the ukulele because the sound makes me so happy :)
That's really cool. :) Expression through music really is a great way to get rid of stress. Yeah, I was mislead with info about senior year too. I thought I would finally be able to get more sleep...such lies.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity, you just had a ukulele lying around, because those aren't very common around Texas. or i could be mistaken
ReplyDeleteits very interesting to hear that music could get rid of stress.i was also worried about my senior year but anyways found a solution. great post and very interesting 10/10

ReplyDeleteHaha yeah I know what you mean . College apps are such a painnnnn. You should look into a stress ball. 10/10
ReplyDeleteWell I guess it's good to know that I shouldn't listen to others when they say next year will be easier :/.... it's pretty cool how you used the energy from your stress to learn how to play Robson :)I wish I cld learn to play an instrument in a few hours.
ReplyDeletesee everyone i see in school, i always tell them senior year is the hardest and most stressful year. but i guess they choose to not listen and forget, but then when they turn senior, they get #baested and complain about why senior year is not a study hall, like no one ever told them..... =[
