Who Needs A Stress Ball?
...Yesterday I think I may have needed one! I was really, really exhausting my brain with so many worries and things that I need to accomplish in my less than two weeks left of school. From RA responsibilities, homework/finals, planning out spring break, to other miscellaneous things, I felt like I was running long distances on little fuel. I lost sight of what I like to call the greatness of life, like the warmth that comes with surrounding yourself with friends and family, a moving piece of music, or watching a sunset.
Of course, as a college student indulging on the clichéd and unusual events that existence has to offer us can seem easier than done. Like I said before, there some many things to think about, like grades, careers, clubs, and resumes, that it can seem hard to find the time to have fun. An additional challenge is being able to balance time at an university like Ohio State, where there are so many things to do on any given day (like the Lupe Fiasco concert I went to Sunday).
But last night I was walking with my boyfriend to get something to eat, and I realized that I have been so busying worrying, planning, and thinking that I hadn't made time to recharge my batteries to start out with a clear head. By not doing that, I was setting myself to a serious burn-out, which is never good. By just pacing myself and not running around in a million circles, I realized that I could accomplish many things, big and small. I really want to pick up some old habits like writing/journal and reading.
On another note, I will know whether or not I am an Orientation Leader sometime this week, hopefully Friday. In fact, this process was one of things that I was a bit worried about! But one of the great things about Ohio State is that if one door closes, another can open up for you if you keep your eyes open and stay prepared. Anywho, I still hope I get the job! I'll keep you posted! :p.
