Y am I in The Land of the Walking Dead?

As the semester continues on I feel I spend countless hours in the library, I find myself there late at night and first thing in the morning. Sleep deprivation and student life go hand in hand. As I sit here in the library I look at my fellow classmates and I see them walking, but don't seem to be living. Their eyes half shut, close wrinkled, and their faces seem to be lifeless as they go about studying. I am in one sense dead, dead tired, energy deprived, and very much zombie like. Yet my life is so consumed with school work, work, church callings, and responsibilities that I feel lifeless, that I live for the next days to do list, and the cycle just keeps going. You think you have finished and they you realize that the cycle has just begun once again. BYU campus, though full of life seems to me to be the Land of the Walking Dead, where life and energy is last due to lack of sleep, nutrient deprivation, and youth sucked from us as we strive for higher education.
