For the girl with a decision to make: Now is not the time

After the shift in our cosmos last week, it feels like everything has changed.

For the girl with a decision to make: Now is not the time

I've always been super curious about the shifts and changes that are happening in our universe and I've wondered about how the changes may directly affect us. But, more recently, in the last year since the solar eclipse in August 2017 I've felt everything immediately change.

Though mostly in positive ways, speaking for myself.

But then, last Friday happened, and I've felt my world go haywire. Last week, a shift in the cosmos occurred, involving a lunar eclipse/ blood moon and the start of a mercury retrograde. And, if you haven't felt everything shift... well, lucky you.

All of the changes have had my mind spiraling and being pulled in too many directions. My thoughts are running ramped (more than usual). I feel that things are coming to an end, some are beginning, relationships are shifting and I just can't keep up. With all that's happening, I feel confused with the urge for decisions to be made. Deciding on which way to go, what to do and how to do it.

Before Friday, I had already felt like I needed to start making some decisions, but being an unbearably indecisive person, I've put it all off. Now with everything feeling completely out of control and completely out of my grasp... I feel even more inclined to do something even with the complete and utter confusion.

I was hoping I'd come to a conclusion or even be able to help anyone else feeling these changes to make a decision. But, I've read that this is actually the worst time to make decisions. That right now with the energies being out of whack and everything all over the place, not doing anything, ironically may be the way to go.

So, if you've been feeling like your world is upside down and you feel completely insane. It's totally not your fault and it may be a good time to just hang back for a while until things clear up. Take time to let the craziness run its course and wait for the clean slate that should be washing your way to make the hard and easy decisions.

Until then... definitely hide.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
