Let Me Tell You Something

I think it’s about time to have a reset day or something to calm me down. It has been one hectic time this past week and a half. I’m being a little dramatic, but with a lot of personal things going on let’s just say my laptop completely dying on me was my last straw. I had it for five years, with this being my senior year and you’re telling me my laptop just doesn’t want to work anymore? She’s done? OK, that’s fine I guess. This blog is honestly just going to be a little plan on how I should spend my time decompressing and coming back to earth so that whenever I have time I can come back and reference this post. 

First thing that I want to do: get my nails done. I have not had my nails done in so long and, having them done always makes me feel so pretty and put together. It may sound kind of dumb and trivial, but just let me do my thing okay? Okay. I need that time to decompress and I also get to rant about all of the things bothering me while my nail tech follows along because she loves to know the tea. 

The first thing that I NEED to do is take a breath. Remind myself that it’s going to be okay. I’ll get through the things that I’m going through. I need to take some to myself and just relax, maybe do some yoga, read the book that I haven’t touched since summer. Anything that does not have to do with worrying about school, family, or anyone but myself sounds good to me. 

The second thing I need to do is check myself. It is a privilege to be able to go to school, see my friends, stress about homework and, almost be done with school. I’m in my senior year and I graduate next semester. As Eminem says, “straighten up little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip.” I am allowed to have my emotions and worry, but it does not mean I can put all of the important things aside. It is a privilege and an honor to be able to do what I’m doing right now, it’s time to focus on that. 

In order to do this I need to delegate a chunk of my time to organize schoolwork and maybe even get a little bit ahead of myself. This will hopefully help me some extra time for myself and, having a clear and set schedule on when to do stuff really helps me keep my head clear.
