Perspective of a busy college student
As a Senior in college, I can say that the past three years have been fulfilling, fun, and incredibly busy. When you’re overwhelmed and about to collapse from your workload, its really your excitement about your current project(s) that motivates you to keep at it. It’s hard to juggle five classes (four of which are Computer Science classes) among extra-curriculars plus a social life, but recently, it’s been my work on HelloMovies that’s been keeping me going. You know that feeling - you’re working on such a damn cool project that even though you’ve worked through both breakfast and lunch, you don’t notice or care because you just want to get this “last bit” working. At least, I hope you’ve had the pleasure of knowing that feeling. It’s like the geek’s equivalent of a runner’s high or an adrenaline rush. kinda sorta. However you describe it, it’s fun.
And so, I welcome you to my first post, of which I hope there will be many, on our HelloMovies blog, and I hope that you will soon be as excited as I am about HelloMovies. Good night for now.

Dang, that’s an awesome post, Josh. I’m inspired (to stop getting distracted and go back to coding the movie edit form).
