Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I'm not exactly "thriving" right now, but I will be soon.

Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I do not know exactly what is going on with me right now but I do know that I can work through it. I have been sleeping a lot, not doing my work as much as I should. You know, the normal stuff that happens when the days start getting shorter. I know that I need to get it together but it is easier said than done. I have done it before though so I am not really worried about it.

I just need to get some motivation back. I always have enough motivation to get my school work done and do it well because I have too much anxiety to not do it well. All I did today was sleep and sometimes you need to do that but I probably did not. I need to continue to hang out with people and just leave the house in general. I would feel so much better if I just did not isolate myself. I do have really amazing friends that help me through that (although they won't buy me ice cream because all of us are SO broke).

I think I miss my friends a lot. I have not seen them since the summer which really sucks. We do text and snapchat daily but it is not the same. I also feel left out sometimes because they go to school back home so they get to see each other like way more than they see me because I live three hours away. I can not wait to see them over Thanksgiving break because I miss them so much. I am literally going to make them hang out with me almost constantly. This was supposed to be about how I am not at my best right not but I am going to get there. I will. I just need to get it together and deal with my stress in better ways because my answer should not always be sleeping and Youtube videos. I will get better and I will see my friends soon and I will soon be thriving again.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
