As many of you know, we here at Banana Scoop try to post four times a day five days a week and then four posts total on the two-day weekend. That’s nearly 24 posts a week. We usually don’t take holidays and we’re fairly consistent with how many times we post. But as many of you must realize this takes time. “But it’s your job,” some might say. This is NOT my job. I’m a chemical engineering student at a demanding top engineering school and writing a blog about pop culture is not considered a smart use of time when there are tests, quizzes, and optional homework that needs to be done. This blog is my hobby. My temporary escape from a rather creatively stifling school. But that’s another story for another time.
I once recorded the time it takes to prepare a week’s worth of material for Banana Scoop. It may take anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a week. That’s a lot of time for something you’re neither paid for nor graded for. I still manage to have somewhat of a social life, have time for my 30 hour a week job, and of course to do other things I enjoy like reading or blowing off some steam playing video games.
I’m dedicating today’s post to how life works for me and Banana Scoop. While we do have one other contributor here, my inability to pay him forces me to carry about 85-90%+ of the workload of maintaining the aesthetics and punctual aspect of this blog. I have a very long system that originates from daydreaming into a castle to cramming minutes before my deadline. Read below on how I organize my life to run the very gratifying website that is Banana Scoop.
