Burned Out....

This is my post that can be about anything. It's halfway through the semester and I am sure that every student is starting to feel this way. I think Professor Webb can even tell, he is letting us write a blog post on whatever we want. I have always wondered how do we stop students from feeling like this? There are some of us.... myself included, that go to school all year around. Some take summer classes, and are seriously in school all year around and their longest break in the year is winter break. Many college students don't go anywhere for spring break, but even if they do most are loaded down with homework. We would think that professors wouldn't want us to get this burned out feeling. Over break I have 3 projects, I have 3 due this week. The burn out rate for college students is extremely high during the spring semester because students get spring fever. This spring fever can help to bring out procrastination in students as well. I think since the month of February started I have seen 40-50 Facebook status's about spring break, it was still a month away at that time.
Now don't get me wrong I love the topic of food in ENGL 1100 and I want to do something to help the cause but I feel that my brain is just circulating the same ideas now. It is so hard to be passionate for a cause when you feel like you can only bring 5 ideas to the table. I love to be creative and help out but I feel like my brain is so fried.
I think this is something that people experience on a regular basis in every aspect of life. I think people get burned out from their jobs, and get burned out from everyday life. I think thats why we all set our sights so high on vacations, because it is our chance to escape. This is something I think about on a regular basis.
