What It's Like To Pursue A Busy Person

It's not for the weak of heart.

Dude, you're always so busy! How do you do it?

These are the silent thoughts and undertones that seem to hum underneath my own hustle and bustle as I rush from class to class, clock in at work, click clack away on my computer on an essay that's due in two hours, only to tackle three chapters of this textbook, another scholarly article about this author, finishing off my nightcap with a little light reading from an anthology of classic literature that weighs more than a newborn baby (no, I'm not kidding.)

But seriously, man- how do you do it? You have two jobs, field experience hours required for your degree, and a full credit load. You seem to have it all together, too- you're excited about your future field, you still find time to hang out with friends, and you somehow make time to go to church and have dinner with your family.

Maybe this is what it's like to pursue a relationship with someone like me. No wonder it's so incredibly annoying and simultaneously rewarding! I'm not going to lie, it's awful trying to knit-pick our schedules apart to find time to hang out; sometimes it feels like we're trying to force two puzzle pieces together that are almost the right shape, but in the end don't create the right picture.

If you want something done (and done right!), ask the busiest person you know- they'll make time to help a friend. Well, let me tell you one thing- I will make time for you. Yes, I am busy. Yes, you are busy. We're both ridiculously busy, and trying to find time to pursue our spark is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But, nothing worthwhile was ever achieved easily- and I'm willing to put in my time and energy to pursue what could be a magical new beginning. Will you join me?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
