The Adventures of Moving

There's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control

The Adventures of Moving

I had the definition of worst weeks! School started, which is a challenge within itself, plus had to move to three different dorms, which is good because the dorms have gotten better each time. On the contrary, it's exhausting as you can imagine. The school made a mistake (like I stated in my other article), and I was supposed to have a roommate, but when I got there my alleged roommate said: "No we aren't roommates". On top of that, the room that they gave me was filthy, so I was like... "no I can't stay in this room".

The next day, the Dorm Director (who turns out to be a pretty cool guy; way better than the one last year...no shade intended), told me we'll move you into a different dorm, and you and the guy you wanted can be roommates. I agreed to it, but the other guy didn't want to move in for whatever reason, so I had a room to myself. Then I found out that the school planned on closing the dorm I had just moved into! I thought the smart move would be to go ahead and move before they "officially" made me move.

That following day, the dorm director told me about yet another new room (which I have currently), that is a single (so that means I don't have a roommate), but I do have suite mates.I like this living condition better because I don't have to go down the hall just to use the bathroom or take a shower. To add a little more to the list, I'm trying to play baseball this year and stay involved in campus activities as much as I can.

It's pretty safe to say that this has not been a pleasant week, but next week should be better and should just grow from there. I'm excited for this school year. I'm excited for what it's going to bring, and all the adventures it will take me on. Yes, it's been a bumpy start at this point, but in the words of Tupac Shakur "You Gotta Keep Ya Head Up".

Since I like to stay positive and give advice to people in need, I have to stay positive for myself, because if I didn't, there's no telling what would fall apart. I guess I've always been like this, even when I was younger. In the words of a wise man, there's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
