April May Have Been A Bad Month But...

This month has been crazy. I've had a couple of really bad days, but also a couple of really good days. This month is always hard for me because of certain emotional things that happened that I'm not going to get into right now/ Every year it seems to be something else. My Timehop showed me today that I tweeted last year about how thankful I was for a new month starting because last April was apparently horrible too. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I do know I was struggling at the job I was at because it was an entirely new environment for me at the nursing home I worked at. After three months I still wasn't getting it. I look back on it now and I'm in a much better place now. I love my job(s) where I am now. Sure they both keep me busy and constantly running, but I am thankful to have both. I am especially thankful for my weekend nursing home job because after what happened with me last year I thought I would never walk into a nursing home again. The residents there are so sweet, the people there are good to me, and it's not as stressful. This month was crazy with my job. I had clients move, a lot of meetings, and I still had to do my monthly stuff. As I sit here on the 28th with everything done for the month, I realized that I forgot to write this article so that's what I'm doing right now while I have some downtime. I hardly get much down-time at work anymore. I'm thankful for the job I have. I like my clients, my co-workers are great and fun, and the driving isn't too bad.

I've only been kept sane lately by the people around me. I have a great family/friends/boyfriend who support my crazy schedule. Maybe support isn't the right word, maybe more like tolerate. (haha) I spent Easter weekend with my family and that was a great time. I had to work, but other than being at work, I spent it at home with my family. I see Craig and his family when I can on the weekends I don't work. I feell like I haven't seen my friends in awhile. I see Mara occasionally. But my two other friends I haven't got to see because we're all busy with work and our respective lives. I'm trying to plan a weekend sometime in May to see them and have a girls weekend that I think all three of us desperately need. I gotta give a shoutout to my Synner girls as well in my Snapchat group chat. There's been so many nights and days where I've ranted to them about the various things going on in my life. They may not know all the backstory of the context of my stories, but they are generally supportive. They're always telling their own stories or sending funny snaps to help brighten up my day. My other group chat that I've disucssed before kinda faded but individually, we still talk, just not together in a group anymore.

The next month holds a lot, but I'll be turning 27. I don't know my work schedule as of yet because there's been some scheduling issues at my nursing home job. But I'll get through it, one day at a time.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
