Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself

Good morning, Chicago. I can't wait to freeze today.

Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself
Google

It is the inevitable Monday morning. Scratch that. It is the inevitable weekday morning. I-90 is whispering to you good morning, with it's sweet sound of honking horns and sirens. You know it's less than 30 degrees outside, because well, you live in Chicago and that is that way it goes from November-April. Late March if you're lucky. Soon enough, you have realized your bed is the only thing worth value. Your bed is your best friend, the keeper of warmth and the inhabiter of procrastination.

If this is the case, your morning conversations might go a little something like this-

"5 more minutes, I will close my eyes just five more minutes. I promise." Wakes up 15 minutes later.

"How many days of class have I already missed? I better check all 5 syllabus to see how many classes I can skip before it affects my grade.

"Do I feel a little sick today? Headache, stomach ache? I do feel a little nauseous."

"Is it cold enough for class to be cancelled?" Checks the school's website.

30 minutes till class. "Well I guess it's now or never."

Gets up. "I already want to lay back down."

Puts on leggings, boots, two sweatshirts, scarf and coat (that I wear everyday). "Yup, I look great. I don't need gloves, gloves are a hassle."

"I should eat breakfast. No, it's ok. Coffee will do."

"I will brush my teeth though."

Looks down at phone battery- 35%. "This is going to be a great day."

Walks outside. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I want to pull out my phone and change the song but it's too cold. I should have worn gloves."

"There is no one even on the sidewalks. I bet everyone else stayed home. Oh, never mind. There is a guy up ahead. Is that really all he is wearing? Where is his winter parka? He must be freezing."

"Why do I live in Chicago? I should move."

"I think I will get soup for lunch. Soup sounds good."

Checks nearest Panera location. "Nix soup. Too cold to try to get to Panera. Ramen it is."

"Why did I skip breakfast? I am starving. I am going to go hungry."

"How many hours till I get to lay back in bed? The things I would do to lay in my bed and watch Netflix right now."

"Should I turn around? Will I really miss that much? I could text that one classmate and ask them to send me notes."

Swipes CTA pass. "Well this is it. Guess I am really going to do this. School, here I come."

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

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.
