In life, we all have those troubles, the unfair trial and punishments, the gut-wrenchingly long waits until we can get that which makes us happy, the massive load of work or say... biology studying sitting in front of you that refuses to write itself out...
But at the same, we are all still here (or I presume you are if you are reading this), so how come? Well, we all have our coping methods, whether it be eating, friends or hitting our heads against walls until the lovely red elixir of life does cometh out in pools and pools, okay, hopefully not the last one, but you get the point.
Now these coping methods can sometimes be rather unhealthy and often they are just not enough, and that is where the second thing getting us through comes into play: The future.
You know that someday your punishment will be over, that that interminably long and hard wait will eventually terminate, that that massive load of work can be done. Were it not for the knowledge of the future, many would lose hope and crawl in a whole somewhere or just go completely and totally mental and start stealing peoples' shoes with no fear of repercussions...
So look forward my fellow Earthlings, the sky will still be there in the morning, no matter how grey there will still be a sliver of light. Every cloud has its silver lining, so go out there and find the silver lining on yours!

Time does not fly whilst studying...
I have tragic news for you all today: I have been studying my rear end off. Yes, I know, it is tragic to see such a free spirit like myself caged by the restraints studying and school-work. It is tragic to see one so involved in the outside world (yes I am! maybe...) locked inside, bound to a textbook written in an unrefined version of Dutch that I barely understand. No, it is not tragic that I am posting this onto the grand anonymous blob that is the internet... not at all.
To prove the uselessness of studying, or the fact that I am a pyromaniac...

Oh, and Chronic, no, your posts will appear in light blue because red looks really weird with this blog's colour scheme...
Wisdom...
Wisdom: that which you lack until just after you need it...
But what is wisdom? Is it doing what is right or doing what is intelligent? Is it avoiding getting into trouble or being able to get out of it? Is it knowing everything or knowing that you never will?
No. It's none of these, Wisdom is not spending time pondering wisdom and instead going and doing that which you are supposed to be doing at the time. Therefore I lack any wisdom what-so-ever.
The same is true of just about all philosophers, they have the time and often the wealth to be genuinely helpful, but instead they make quotable quotes on the exact nature of that which, in trying to achieve, they shall never gain.
So where am I going with this? I'll give you a hint, no, that would waste more time. Where I am going with this is that A: sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet and do what you have to.
and B: For me that bullet has taken the shape of Textbook...
and C: I'm telling you to start doing whatever YOU should be doing, yes it is fun to read the blog of a random person in order to determine whether or not you are relatively sane compared to someone on the other side of the world who may or may not be a bipolar squirrel caretaker, but by the same token we almost all have work we SHOULD be doing. So get Going, and carry on reading this later...
But still come back and read later...
You may acquire more wisdom...
