Next week, I have 3 research papers due, 1 exam, 1 presentation, 1 debate, and 2 activities for my geography class due, plus it’s the week before exams, and I still have floor programs and Winterviews (interviews with freshmen residents about how the year has been so far), and work piling up at the internship. Just when I think I’m going to get a break…I don’t. When will I break out of this cycle?

I really just want to enjoy my time right now. One of my best friends, a member of my RA staff, is leaving the university at the end of the quarter, and the Assistant Hall Director quit as of today, so we are clearly experiencing some major changes. I want to just spend time with my co-workers right now. I only have a quarter left in Bradley, since I applied for a transfer next year to a building with older students. I really want to be with my friends there as much as possible. Plus I honestly just need a little time for myself.

I keep saying I’ll turn this around, and I love Spring Quarter, so it’s the perfect time to do it. But will it happen? I think I’m going to see the Time Management Specialist at the Younkin Success Center….but where will I find the time?

I’m just ready to graduate so I can start enjoying what matters. Why can’t I enjoy it now?
