A sorry "until next week" article.

I came back from visiting my home today. I got in the dorm, took out the trash and the recyclables. I decided I wanted to sleep on clean sheets and stripped my bed, replacing the white ones with my favorite jersey ones. I went downstairs and started 4 loads of laundry. I even filled my essential oil diffuser with peppermint oil to make the room smell like a candy cane.

I put on comfy clothes and sat down to write on my computer. After staring at the screen for 10 minutes I decide it would be better to clean the bathroom, just while I'm on my cleaning kick. I finished before I needed to switch around the laundry and found myself back in front of this blank screen. The cursor blinked, waiting for me to pour my brain onto the page, and I was stuck. So eventually I decided to write this down and just see where it headed. Well, I have this written now, and after some thought, I have decided to submit it.

Today was the day I realized I was fresh out of ideas to write about.


My mind has been filled with worries, and school, and other time-consuming things, and I'm running to catch up. You know life, it has to be stressful sometimes.


Today I also realized that my imagination is boundless.


I really need to focus and get my crap together, because I don't have the time to fall behind. Life is something I am planning to succeed at.

Basically, I am writing this to let you know that I am behind, but you can look forward to a better story next week. Hopefully, a really good one.

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.
