Why We Need To Stop Worrying About Time

It's time to stop.

Why We Need To Stop Worrying About Time

Classes. Quizzes. Tests. Sports. Activities. Jobs. Scheduling. Everyday, especially as a college student, it's easy to become overwhelmed by all of the responsibilities ahead of us. We become even more overwhelmed when we think of all the tasks that need to be completed while wanting to have free time to hang out with friends and do other fun things as well. Like many others, when there's so much ahead of me my brain feels like it stops working and I end up getting nothing done at all.

Solutions to this problem include lists and scheduling out each day. This does work, and has helped me out a great deal overall. But does anyone else think that when every hour is scheduled out each day, even when there's time to relax and have free time, it doesn't seem genuine because in the end it's all carved out pieces of time? Like a machine in a way, going through the motions to do each task before it's time to move on to the next chunk of time?

Questions like these continue to make me think and stress me out also. When being overwhelmed about being overwhelmed, the most important thing to do is to just take a step back and calm down. It's important to take some time to let all of the rushing thoughts stop and just take time to yourself. In the midst of assignments, jobs, meetings, and everything else in the day, we're all just trying to live our lives and hopefully make the best out of each day.

Even if it may seem cheesy, one of the most important things is to take time to yourself or with people you trust to do things that make us happy and forget our worries for a while each day.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
