I literally act like an 8 year old whenever I have less than 2 hours of sleep, and I’m always astonished at how completely immature and happy I am throughout the day, especially during orchestra. A few days ago I conjured up a ridiculous scene of a swan singing (more like barking or honking) during our concert while we play Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and other absurd things like laughing at how my calc teacher will cross out 3 feet of work on the smart board instead of erasing it, or when 4 people are trying to talk simultaneously about how they feel about one sentence in an essay.
I used to attribute all this to senioritis, but now I know better. THANKS RESEARCH.

An insane story of a real-life action hero in the Japanese tsunami wasteland.
MAD KUDOS.
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity:

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future.
He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Katagelasticism refers to the psychological condition in which a person excessively enjoys laughing at others. Katagelasticists actively seek and establish situations in which they can laugh at others (at the expense of these persons). (via sleevia)
Taking spontaneous 3.5 minute breaks that turn into 15 minute breaks.
You know what’s even better, putting your head down for 5 minutes to “rest” at 11:30PM and waking up at 6:50AM.
