Every year, the Connecticut Academic Proficiency Tests are administered to sophomores. Being a soph’ myself, I am really looking forward to comparing and contrasting biodiesel and sewage waste as efficient types of energy products before 9 a.m. According to her Twitter, Kim Kardashian will have worked out and gotten a manicure by then, oh boy. Does Essie make a color called ‘Lazy?’ I’m sure it would be more popular than my personal favorite, ‘Butler Please.’

So perhaps they had a li’l bit too much time on their hands between Aztec sacrificial parties, (if you haven’t seen House Bunny, I’m so sorry), or building temples. Regardless, they banged out a comprehensive calendar determining when the world is going to come to an end. What does this mean for us? First things first, there will be a frenzy of tweets and Facebook posts. I already have my potentially “last” tweet composed in my head, so get cracking.

I’d rather eat the seafood gumbo our school offered last week than be told by my mom to get up on Monday mornings. I’m not even sure how to describe the oppressive misery of getting out from Sunday nights cocoon and entering a week full of short-answer questions, finding theta and learning about how our forefathers schemed harder in Philadelphia than French Montana at a video shoot- but it sucks. Mondays mean no hot water, no sunshine, and porridge for every meal. But count your blessings- Mondays are better than Tuesdays.
