I'm tired of being tired

"The days just seem to get more and more tiring."

They really didn't teach you in high school that "adulting" would be hard, but most importantly, tiring. Yes, I am going to be doing a lot of complaining in this article.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but even with a good 7 hours of sleep, I am still tired.

I have lots of things going on in my life that are making me tired all the time. The constant anxiety and worrying doesn't help for starters. This likes to keep up for a good hour or two until I can actually fall asleep. Then I wake up all anxious and worrisome about what I need to do for the day.

My head also likes to worry about things that I have no control over. This ranges from global warming to the poor individuals on the street, to simple things like the way my eggs were made, etc. Yeah, I can do my part and my best in helping these situations but I can't solve EVERYTHING. Which drives me insane, and makes me tired. I just care too much I guess.

I'm tired of looking for jobs and not being able to figure out what I want. Constantly going on interviews and being denied jobs is horrible. Traveling is a lot too and the constant decline of your resume makes you sad, and tired.

I am tired of paying bills. THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE. And why they didn't teach you how to pay taxes in high school is beyond me. I am also tired of getting paid s**t when I work so many hours! My bachelor's degree should not be equal to minimum wage.

I am tired of living with so many people in a household; it gets so crowded. Yes I know, I can move out. I AM TRYING. That requires a job which I can't get.

Oh yeah, that seven hours of sleep "I get" usually doesn't happen. It is rare. Maybe that is why I am tired, because I am tired from getting no sleep.

I am tired after working out and making plans. I am even too tired to work out and make plans with others when I go. I can't even go out to dinner without being tired. Of course, working out makes you tired, but WAY too tired. I am too tired in the morning to go, but I force myself.

I am tired of finding my path. I am starting classes soon which I am excited about but again, it's tiring getting ready for school. I am sure the tiredness will get worse when classes start.

Work is tiring, no doubt. This should be an obvious one. No one wants to work unless you find that job you love. But even that job you love can make you tired, but I guess in a good way.

So how does the constant tiredness stop? Do I just deal? Even when I relax I am too tired!

I guess I need to accept that although life is tiring, that is the beauty of it. We work hard and play hard, so we're tired. But it doesn't mean our days have to be ruined by tiredness.

We can overcome the stress and tiredness by truly taking time for ourselves to reflect and relax the right way.

I am determined to beat the tiredness!

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
