Let me just start by saying that yes, I do know that being busy is 100% my choice. But, I honestly love being busy and having a jam packed schedule.

Here's a little look into what my life looks right now for the first semester:

I am in the Honors College, taking five classes (three of those classes are considered "honors" classes) on campus and three classes online, I work anywhere from four to five graveyard shifts every week at Dutch Bros Coffee, I am a writer and the Editor In Chief for the Odyssey Online at Boise State, this weekend I am going through sorority recruitment, and on top of that, I try to make as much time as I can for my friends and my family.

Now, some may say (and some have) that I am absolutely crazy to have a schedule like I do at nineteen years old, let alone love it, and maybe I am. But, having a schedule as busy and jam packed as I do makes me feel accomplished. But, I will admit, I think this semester of college is the busiest I have ever been. But here's the thing...like I said before, it makes me feel accomplished and proud. And being able to say "I did it" at the end of the semester will make everything worth it!

Now, most of the people in my life (friends and family) are beyond supportive of me, my jam packed schedule, and busy life....but for those who aren't or still don't get why I do this, here are some things I want you to know:

-When you question why I have such a busy schedule or why I even do this to myself it makes me feel bad....

-....Because everything that contributes to my busy schedule and my busy life is really (really) important to me.

Trust me when I say there is no way I would do what I do if every single thing that made up my busy schedule and life didn't mean A LOT to me.

-My friends and family are still my number one priority....

-....If you ever need me (or any of my friends or family need me) I am still always going to be here for you, no matter what.

My friends and family mean the world to me and I will drop anything for them if they need me, I don't care what it is, what time it is, etc. if my friends or family need me I'm there no matter what.

So thank you to my friends and family for constantly supporting and being there for me....even with my crazy schedule.
