College is great. I'm having fun, classes are going well, i'm making friends, etc etc. There's just one little problem. SLEEP. yes my friends, sleep is more often than not on the list of things i wish i could do, but due to extenuating circumstances, i can't. that and seeing New Moon. (stop freaking out, that was a joke). Seriously though, i'm thinking i may need to rethink and re-prioritize my life. "Oh, don't worry about," my subconscious mind is telling me. "It's still early afternoon, and you've got the whole weekend to write five pages of your research paper that you haven't started. That's two full days to search databases and do that OTHER research project that you have due. And who cares if you don't really study for the chem exam. you'll probably pass."
Ahhh, my good old senior year friend Procrastination has followed me to college. and other best friend from high school, Social Fun is making a comeback too. it's oh so tempting to listen to them and give in. after all, out of all the nutrition majors in my classes, i'm the one with the best grades and the best work ethic. that means i can slack off, right? WRONG! however much i may want to deny it, life will go on after college and what i do now will effect what happens to me then. So instead of verbally dissecting that thought, i'm going to start my homework. Huzzah for research!!
Uuuuuugh. I was just thinking about this today. How did I do it all in high school? I thought I could handle more here, but it's nearly impossible to do every good & perfect thing every day (e.g. exercise, eat right, have a good devo time, get good grades, earn money). What is the priority? Don't ask me....it's midnight and I've got more homework to do. 7+ hours of school on a Saturday, and yet I managed to squeeze in a trip to Rockport as well :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are not overwhelming me with hope. I'm hardly getting any sleep as it is, and yet you sound like you have it ten times worse. HOW WILL I SURVIVE?
