Day by Day

Hey everyone,

Again, I know it's been some time since my last post (my sincerest apologies) but I've been super busy with school, applications and life in general. I thought I'd take a minute to write a post about something I need to constantly remind my self of... and that's to just take life one day at a time.

I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed and stressed about everything you need to do. I'm pretty sure if you looked up overwhelmed my picture would be next to the definition. It's the same story every time... "Okay I need to do this assignment, then work on this group project, finish this lab, study for this test, do these readings, go grocery shopping (?) etc etc."

When I get into that crazy, wild, stressed out state I need to take a step back and pull myself together because nothing is going to get accomplished while I'm freaking out, about to pull out my own hair (and I love my hair). I have to tell myself to look at one thing at a time. Take baby steps. Laugh a little, I'm 21 years old! Breathe and just live life.

Yes, I have crazy school commitments because I have high aspirations but that doesn't mean I need to work myself into a hole at 21!

So for all you students out there who may also be having a mild freak out know that you aren't alone. You're young, enjoy it while you can! Soon enough you'll be married with children (if that's what you want) and working a real big person job. You'll have all these adult responsibilities and you won't be able to be a carefree (sort of) young adult.

I know you say the "I wish I was a kid again" line. Well when you're 40 and have a full time job you'll be saying "I wish I was 21 again".

So enjoy it while you can,

Jen
