Yikes, I've got a finals this upcoming Wednesday and next Friday! And with the amount of focus and effort I've been putting into school lately, I'm going to need all the luck I could get! Once the semester is over, at least grades start anew and I could tell myself that I'll work harder this time (hehe). Then hopefully I'll have enough time to check out books I actually
want to read and maybe throw in a couple of hours of Netflix in there. But even when I find myself idle around the house, it seems that at least 30% of that time is spent worrying about college decisions (oops, only applied to two!) and 20% of the time is panicking about how I
should be spending my time--searching for scholarships or painting the next
Mona Lisa.
It's so easy to get caught up in the little things ("Shouldn't I be searching for a full-ride scholarship right now?!") and ruining a perfectly fine day because these concerns about the future and worries about what we're doing wrong constantly plague us. Or when we're surrounded by pessimistic people, their attitudes tend to rub off on us and next thing you know, the glass is half empty. Once in a while, you just have to step back and really evaluate what's important to you and whether these things are really worth worrying about.
