What A Perfect Day Looks Like

I rarely have a day off of work, but when I do my ultimate day would go a little something like this.

What A Perfect Day Looks Like

Since I am working two jobs this summer, my schedule has been extremely hectic. I rarely have a day off, but when I do, I make sure to make it worthwhile. I am definitely the go-go type of person and love eventful days. Everyone feels burnt out at some point. Whether you're sick and tired of waking up early for your job or feel like you need a break away from your family members, we've all been there.

For me personally, the only fix for this burnt out feeling is a day with no responsibilities or obligations. While some people would choose a day of not moving from the bed and watching Netflix all day or a self-care day filled with face masks and a bath, I prefer a jam-packed day with my family.

My perfect day would go a little something like this. I would sleep in until about 9 o'clock and then hit the gym. After getting a sweaty session in and getting ready to start my day, I would head to lunch with my family. We would go to my favorite Greek restaurant called, Hummus & More. After chatting over pita gyro sandwiches, we would head to the movies and enjoy a romantic comedy, with popcorn and candy of course.

After the movies and before heading home for dinner comes my dad's least favorite activity, we would shop at some of my favorite clothing boutiques. After hopefully buying some cute new outfits, my mom would make everyone dinner. She is a fantastic cook and makes the best spaghetti and meatballs; I'm drooling just thinking about them. Lastly, I enjoy taking a walk in the evening because the weather starts to cool down.

Hopefully, I get a day off of work soon! I will definitely be spending that day probably exactly like I mentioned above. I'm most excited for that plate of spaghetti and meatballs that I keep dreaming about.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
