When the world gets to be a little much, a friend that I've made here and I watch old Buffy episodes as a sort of security blanket. Last semester during finals, we would study for a predetermined set of time and watch a couple of episodes and repeat. We got through the quarter that way.
This weekend, because I was sick, I put off some of my studying to be sick on my couch and watch Buffy. For whatever reason, seasons four and six resonated with me the least when they first came out and so I chose to watch some episodes from those seasons. I think part of the reason I didn't like those seasons at first was because I had to update the website after each one, and so it became more like a chore and not something to look forward to as much. Also, I was posting on a board and I think I let the negativity of some posters ruin it for me. Suffice it to say, those episodes are powerful and resonant today (even if the fashion isn't.)
Season four is about going to college and season six is about growing up, two areas of life that are relevant and still a little scary. I think that responsibility, while wonderful, is always frightening. Will I succeed? What will I do if I fail miserably? How much more of this can I handle? I know I'll be feeling this my whole life. But I also know that there are so many great things about this world, and living in it.
