Having Dreams Suck

Mentally and Physically, I'm drowning...

Okay, let's be real. We all dream. Dreams have such a greater affect on us and our emotions than we think. I guess I'm just a very spiritual person and whatever I dream about can mentally take a toll on me. I believe not all dreams are bad and not all dreams are nightmares. It's like having a type of awakening in your life.

Due to the pandemic and not being able to have as much physical contact with my friends and family, my mind has been taking a shift. I've been dreaming about celebrities more often, encounters that I never would have thought would come about and quite literally physical touch. A lot of people say that what you encounter throughout your day relays in your dreams that night, which can make sense with me being up to date on social media, celebrity drama being blasted everywhere and just me listening to certain types of music can take me there.

I know it may seem like I'm rambling here, I guess what I'm trying to say is yes, dreams are just dreams but, there is a taste of reality that comes with it. Every dream that you have, take it with a grain of salt. And when you awaken, the way you feel when you wake up... you know, that feeling of being scared, confused, offended, confident, use that to interpret what your next move will be. Dreams have a way of telling us what we don't want to hear, it's like that one friend that hits you with the reality check that you never knew you needed. Yeah I know, IT SUCKS. I mean, why focus on dreams anyway? They're just dreams. Yeah they are, but, they're dreams that interpret our lives in that moment.

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.
