What the Title Means
Hello gentle readers, I have never written a blog before so bear with me. I guess the first order of business is to explain where the title came from. I was thinking about a song I had just finished listening to in the car: "Forward Motion" by Relient K and the chorus goes something like this:
"...'cause I struggle with forward motion
I stuggle with forward motion
we all struggle with forward motion
'cause forward motion is harder than it sounds
everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again..."
For the complete lyrics see the following website http://display.lyrics.astraweb.com:2000/display.cgi?relient_k%2E%2Etwo_lefts_dont_make_a_rightbut_three%2E%2Eforward_motion.
I'm sure that everyone has felt this way at some point or another in his or her life. I have found that college makes me feel as if I am struggling to keep up with everything all the time, especially when it gets closer to the end of the semester and teachers start to pile on the assignments. Just when you think you have everything caught up and figured out, life throws you a curve ball and things don't make sense anymore.
Another cool song related to college that Relient K is "College Kids" which is about how useless college really is.

My favorite line is "80 grand later I found out that all that I had learned / is that you should show up to take your finals and your mid-terms..." I wish that was all that I had to do, but I am an English major and that means I have a multitude of writing assignments to complete each semester.
