Fall: It's The Most Exhausting Time Of Year

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it.

Fall semester is starting to get the best of me. Classwork is stacking up high, and due dates are lingering. I have been trying to find an equal balance of school and rest lately, but there has been no rest to be found. Every night I am up late, trying to get stuff accomplished without losing my mind.

Not being in the Word every day has had a really big impact on the ways that my days end. I lay in bed at night knowing that I need to be active in order to stay energized and motivated to do school. But I have noticed that by the time my days are over I am too tired to do anything, especially sit down and read my bible.

I am starting to crash slowly, and losing the motivation to do things I love the most. Working through this is something that I have had to do before, but it isn't fun to go through. The feeling of tiredness and lack of motivation is so hard to beat. I am constantly trying to find time to rest, and take time for myself away from school, but when I am away from school, I am always focused on what I need to be doing.

This semester is finally almost over, and I am hoping and praying that I can continue to beat this feeling of being drained and enjoy everything that the Lord is doing in my life lately. He is continually working in my life and allowing amazing things to happen, and it is important to not overlook what He is doing.

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it. I trust He will provide where He leads me.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
