Holland's life: Obsessions
Holland Olsen
Issue date: 4/29/09 Section: Opinion
That is how several close relatives and friends have described me. I don't know if you have ever been described as a rodent-like pest, but it is not a very good feeling. I do have to say his description is accurate to a point, but I have the ability to let go. It just might take a little while for me to realize that is what I have to do.
With this crazy need to obsess about different things, it is hard for me to focus on more than one thing at a time. The anxiety building up is a direct side effect of this obsession, mainly because I obsess over the wrong things. Instead of obsessing over a research paper, I obsess about a thing I cannot control, like who is going to hire me when I graduate.
I know there will be several different activities that are going to try to steal my attention, and most will probably succeed, but at least I know at the end of the semester I will have all my work done because one of these days I will get obsessed about school. I know it will happen because it happens every semester.
