Looking Back

Stress is something that has haunted me this semester. Every day I feel like I'm going a million miles an hour, with a million things to do. My days are filled with classes, work, studying, group meetings, etc. I feel like this whole semester my sleep schedule has been: go to bed sometime between 12am and 2am, and wake up at 630am. I've always heard that college is where you learn time management, and I'm definitely seeing that now. The last few days of my spring break, I was literally afraid to come back, because I knew I'd just go back to drowning in my schedule. And its so crazy, because literally, that monday morning I woke up, the alarm blaring, thinking "here we go". And I was right. This is the first time since I got back that I've even had a chance to sit down and have a second to myself.

I was looking back on some of these snapshots from my break. I miss it. I would wake up on my own in the morning, lay in bed, and think to myself "hmm, what do I want to do today?". Thats such a freeing thought. Of course, I understand this cant be what happens everyday, but I sure would enjoy at least a couple hours a day, ya know? 6 more weeks. 6 more weeks.

What are some ways you deal with stress and time management?
