I decided against asking some random ass people personal ass questions like how they’re feeling right now (mentally and physically). Instead I spoke to some of my close guy friends. All of whom I’ve known since freshman year. 

I just asked simply “How have you been recently? Be honest.” 

“I feel like I just haven’t been productive.” (Kruetzer) He sighed and looked for a place to sit down. “It feels like no matter what I’ve been doing it’s just not enough.”

“Right now? I’m not stressed. Two days ago I was, but not now. Maybe like creatively… I’d say I’m in a bit of a slump. I’m not really sure what I should be making.” (Mrakovich)

Justin (Thompson) replied with the most monotone “average” I have ever heard. 

I feel like junior year is hard because you are nearing the end of college and starting to realize you don’t have a clue what you’re supposed to be making because no one is telling you. Freedom is a scary thing when you’ve been in school most of your life. I feel like we’re being pushed forward not by the need to do well but because it is all we have done. For right now I think average is the best it’s going to get… at least until the semester is over.
