Top 5 Evidences You Are Experiencing Cognitive Overload During Finals Week

#5. Time flies by in moments.
  • A question you think you only took 15-minutes to complete, really took you AN HOUR!
  • You're doing homework and suddenly, it's 5am!
  • You're 5-minute-alarm-clock-snooze magically turns into 2 hours and you literally don't know how.


#4. You're mentally space out (resembling a zombie more than a living, functioning person).
  • You bake cornbread muffins, but instead of turning the oven knob to BAKE, you absent-mindedly turn the knob to BROIL and proceed to fill your domicile with smoke and sadness.
  • You sleep in two-hour spurts whenever they are available.  (Noon-time? No problem.)
  • You try to open your car without your keys and can't figure out why it won't open. (#notsafetodrive)


#3. Your body physically degrades and you lose spacial awareness.
  • The blistering white screen of a word processor starts to burn your eyes, like a vampire exposed to daylight.
  • You bonk your head on things as you bob and weave down the hallway, like pirate on shore leave.
  • You miss the center of the seat when you sit down in chairs.
  • While looking at something, your vision starts to dim to black even though your eyes are still wide open.  (I think that means you're starting to pass out...)


#2.  Details begin to drop out of memory.
  • Simple things like, whether or not you slept last night.
  • What the day is.  (The correct answer is alway: Finalsday)
  • If you ate in the last 24 hours.
  • The year when heading an assignment.


#1. You have no game with the opposite gender. None. (Everything you think is smooth, is just creepy.)

(P.s. I have one more final left to finish.  Please keep me in your prayers.)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" .  In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness.  Inspired by a letter written by  Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album,  What Happened to the Heart?,  questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
