10. summa cum laude
before the fall semester started, he told me
that I could just barely pass all my classes in my last semester
and I'd still get the honor anyways,
like he did, despite barely turning in
half his assignments in the class we shared
and the professor saying afterwards,
in a polite way, that my friend had been
going through some "senior burnout."
I still have a bit of work to do over the summer,
so I'm not sure I can give up this semester.
but frankly, even if I could, I don't think I would.
I have an assignment that's due in an hour,
and even though it's a simple write-up
that's barely worth any points, the idea
of not doing it still scares the hell out of me.
that's twenty whole points I'd be throwing out the window,
and even if I could use that hour
to do some more important assignments
or work on my resume
or just watch videos on youtube
(and let's be real,
I just want to watch videos on youtube),
that'd be an assignment that I went out of my way not to do,
and I didn't get this far because I didn't do things
(even though, frankly, I could've afforded
to not do a lot of things the last few years,
and I'm not sure it's worth
trying to bury myself in every assignment
and wreck my sleep schedule staying up
until two or three in the morning every night
for something on a resume
that an interviewer is going to look over
for a couple seconds, then push it aside
and look for a resume
from someone a little more qualified).
