Surprisingly enough, the semester has been flying by pretty fast. Nonetheless, who would've thought that we're just about two weeks shy from Fall Break and also midterms? I don't know about you folks but I'm just ready to skip ahead to summer break instead. I need a few months away from adult-ing... Or even a few years.

The first half of this semester has been a little rough so far. With exams practically every Monday for the College of Nursing, I can sense myself starting to lose the coloring pigments in my hair, my social life, and what could possibly be my sanity. I'll keep y'all updated. With that said, I have officially walked into what is just pure madness. When I say madness, I mean madness as in trying to understand Microbiology in a series of rectangles and circles. And I thought math was hard when the alphabet was introduced into it.

With fall break drawing near, I have also came to the realization that I'm burning through coffee faster than I study. Sadly enough, one cup of coffee no longer does me justice. Just like studying 5 days before an exam no longer satisfies my feeling of self-preparedness before an exam. I need more of everything. Specifically, I need more days where I can just sleep and do nothing. And Coffee. I've been out of coffee for weeks now.

With fall break growing near, I realized I took nothingness for granted. Before the semester began, I was so set on finally getting to do something everyday. At this point, I'm practically doing something every minute. You know the saying, "Be careful what you wish for?" Pure irony is what that is and I no longer find it funny.

Lastly, I do cherish the smaller moments during the day that are about just barely 30 minutes each where I can just sit on the couch, watch Impractical Jokers, and just not adult for a while. It's something about letting responsibilities slip away for a few moments that helps me keep my game on point. It's almost like getting a sample of ice cream at Baskin and Robins. It's great just to get a small taste, and even greater to get the whole tub.
