"I can't wait until my only concern with anything school-related is how i'm going to decorate my grad cap." 

These are the words of my wonderful friend, Aimee Bradshaw, and I feel like she describes my life and many of my friends lives right now so perfectly. Yes, I should be working on my senior project or reading for my psych class, but instead I am going to take ten minutes and just write.

Many people are graduating this quarter and in the spring and life is way too stressful right now. It's hard to look with the end in mind when there is so much to do RIGHT now. For example, I registered this morning for classes for next quarter and at first was having a hard time finding classes. I am currently wait listed for three. And I was first rotation. Trying to figure that out, getting back bad grades, stressing about things that are due, sometimes we just let LIFE take over. But we shouldn't, we know we shouldn't.

I did what I always do when life gets stressful. I went to the Liberal Studies office. 

And I sat on a comfy couch, spread out my lunch, and worked on my senior project for like three hours. At one point Loni just looked over me and just started laughing. And I laughed with her. Because that's what we need. We need to laugh when it gets stressful. So, I look at all my lib studs right now who are working on senior project, I just want to remind you to breath. Take a step back, breath, go on pinterest for a few minutes, run around the block, but know that it will get done. 

Because sometimes we just need to tell ourselves that we truly are "good enough" even when everything around us makes us feel that we aren't. And know that that senior project you are working on, that psych book you are reading, that biology lab you need to finish, and that presentation you have tomorrow, it all has a purpose. I know it's hard to see right now, but it's helping you learn and it's shaping your mind and brain. 

It's going to be okay. And remember to eat your fruits, veggies, and protein. That makes a big difference. 

And as I think about everything that's due in the next week and a half I can't help but laugh when I think about how many times I bumped my head today. (Okay, bad example, but it was kinda funny, I was a little more clumsy than usual today) Anyway, go give your roommate a hug or tell them a joke, unless their real stressed than just let them be! But you know what I mean. 

Okay, I'm not making sense. 

See ya later. Love ya!
