As exams draw closed to an end it’s important to realize that they are not necessarily the end of the world. Too many times do we stress over the little things. We make up excuses for being sick, we lie to ourselves about how much time we really need to study, and we turn into little monsters, who are self absorbed into our own little “study worlds” that could come crashing down at any moment. What we don’t realize is that (excuse my French, but this is deemed necessary) in ten years, who is going to give a fuck about whether we made an A or a B in chem. lab? No one.
The song I encourage you all to sing is Vampire Weekend’s “Oxford Comma.” The song originated one day, when the lead singer, Ezra Koenig, passed by a group of kids petitioning for the oxford comma.. Six months later he thought about how stupid the argument was and a song was born to support a “who gives a fuck attitude” for anything.
I find this song to be helpful for any concept. It gives you something to dance to, and any artist who can make a serious reference to Little John’s “Get Low” deserves some cred. So take a chill pill, breathe, put down the red bull, and remind yourself that in a few years these hissy fits are going to seem superfluous.
