I kind of feel like…
I kind of feel like a college student. Here I am, sitting at my laptop in my school sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over my head, and pajama pants, empty soda cans everywhere to testify to my homework fueled need for caffeine. I’m listening to music entirely too loud, and I’m blogging to procrastinate writing a paper about poetry. Yep. Kind of feels collegiate.
However, the laundry piled up is not just mine. I have four other people’s clothing needs depending on me. For dinner, instead of ordering cheap pizza while I study, I made a meal for my family. Instead of my roommates staying up late to study, too, I have to make sure they take a bath and get to bed by eight thirty. When our whole floor is sniffling and coughing with change of season colds, instead of simply commiserating, I have to help them blow their noses and constantly evade them and their attempts to clean their noses on my sleeve. While my living space is just as messy as your average college student’s, I have an extra load of mommy guilt to go with it. Guilt or not, though, I get permanent grades on history and psychology, and the house will always need cleaned. School takes priority over cleaning, but kids take priority over school. It’s a complicated balance.
Yeah, I kind of feel like a college student.
Kinda.
