How I Feel About This Semester So Far

My bed is calling me, but I can't answer. Too much work to do.

How I Feel About This Semester So Far
spongebobimage.blogspot.com

I am so done with the semester right now. And I'm not just saying this because I'm fed up, but because I have mentally clocked out. I'm too tired to do anything else, honestly. Maybe I'm taking too many credits this semester or maybe I've gotten stuck with professors who only care about their own classes and, as a result, give loads of homework? I'm not too sure where the blame lies. I know it cannot lie with me, though. I keep working hard and trying to keep up with my assignments without procrastinating. I don't go out and have fun with my friends. Instead, I'm always busy with projects for classes. This hard work and dedication has not been paying off so far.

I'm mentally tired, ready to crack. Ready to just lay down and give up. Finally get the sleep I've been craving. But I know that it would be a disaster if I did that. Taking a break would mean not doing my homework, which would mean failing my classes, which would mean my GPA would drop and I wouldn't be able to graduate with honors, which is one of my goals. So I know I can't take a break, even though I feel like my energy is gone.

My thing is, why does it seem like all of my classes decided to give their final projects and tests all at the same time? They all said, "Let's get this done early so that you can enjoy your Thanksgiving Break." But what if I needed my Thanksgiving break to get the assignments done? Now, I can't do that because everything is due before then.

It feels like I'm ranting at this point and I do not want that to be the case. I just feel like I should get this off of my chest before I continue working on the projects, assignments, readings, and essays that seem to be suffocating me. I know that I can get through. I know that I can do this. If you are going through the same thing where your "To Do List" is so long, you do not know where to start? Just know that you can do it too. We just need to focus and carve out some time to get things done. Just know that we have a little break coming up and use that for motivation.

I wish you and myself the best of luck, let's go kick this semester's butt.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
