It's been a while since I've last blogged! So many people have been on me about posting so I'm finally getting around to it. Many things have happened this semester, so I won't attempt to bore you with the details. Instead I'll talk about the underlying theme of the past few months.
BALANCE!!
If you know me at all, you know that I have a strong "All or Nothing" personality. If I'm studying, then I can't be interrupted for hours. If I have a lot going on with friends over a weekend, I'll get no school work done at all. When I work out, I go all out and don't settle for a mediocre workout. You get the point by now.
Since it's my last semester in college, I've been wanting to spend the most time possible with my wonderful friends :) Before spring break, I was practically a hermit. My classes require a lot of busy work and frankly I was taking it too seriously. I don't always have to study my hardest for EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING!! I went on a cruise for spring break and it really brought a fresh light to my everyday life. I have realized that nourishing friendships are just as important as any work you need to accomplish. At some point something needs to be sacrificed from one end or another to balance out your life. So I have been trying this out. I've been spending more time with my friends, going on spontaneous road trips, staying up late having fun, or just sitting around doing nothing with them! And at the same time I've been keeping my grades up so it IS possible.
Life is great right now and I'm learning to LIVE it instead of always waiting for something in the future. I want to be able to look back and remember all the fun times I've had and not all the times I've been studying (I have plenty of time for that the next few years).
So that's where I am right now....just enjoying my last few weeks until graduation! At this point I have 4 class days left and 3 finals standing in the way of me and my diploma :) WHOOP!!
I'll be more detailed next time...but that's it for now :)
