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.
