Week 9: Midweek Madness and the Motivation Behind It

Image
  This week has been crazy, as usual. Wednesday especially. Not only did I have my classes, but right after my first class at 11:00, I had to run to the Freed Center classroom to have our client meeting with Switchbox. Only to get there, and the meeting had to be cancelled, but life and work happen, I understand. Then I had to lock in to get some school work done since I have many other obligations this week. This was my opportunity to get some schoolwork done.  After I did some school work, I headed to my second class, and wouldn't you know it? I had to run back to Freed for my advising meeting after that, for my last semester classes, and important senior information. And wouldn't you know, I had to run from that to the pharmacy building for an Alpha Phi Omega executive committee meeting. So finally, once that meeting was over, I didn't have to run across campus for something else.  I had more to do, though I still had much schoolwork to get done, and I pretty much work...

Week 8: Finally Sweater Weather

Image
Fall break was wonderful. I was productive, and I got to relax and spend time with my family. I started my break by heading out of Ada around 10:30 am since it's only a one-and-a-half-hour drive home. During the drive, I was of course listening to the new Taylor Swift album, The Life of a Showgirl.  Once I got home and got some coffee, I went to pick up my friend from her house. We got to hang out all day and catch up on what is happening in each other's lives.  Saturday was my productive day of the break. My mom and I decided that my room and closet were out of control, and normally I wouldn't agree, but this time I did easily agree. We deep-cleaned the entire room and closet, including vacuuming, dusting, and quite literally took everything I owned out of my room to figure out how we should organize my space, and it only in the end took about three hours, which I would say isn't too bad.  On Saturday, I was also able to get some errands done, which felt nice to comple...

Week 7: A Change of Plans

Image
As it turns out, as excited as I was for the homecoming festivities, I ultimately had a spur-of-the-moment decision and decided to head home this past Friday. I don’t normally talk about my mental health, but the past two weeks have been rough mentally with my anxiety. So I decided it was best that I go home this weekend and hang out at home and see my parents. I think, although I had some FOMO, I made the decision that was best for me at the moment.  While at home, I got to enjoy many things I miss about home, including a couple of home-cooked meals, time with my parents, and the comfort of my own bed.  During my trip home, I also got to see the new Taylor Swift mini-documentary. This documentary was only in movie theaters this past weekend, so when I figured out I was going home, I asked my mom to join me. The documentary ran about an hour and a half with no previews beforehand. It started by premiering her new music video to “The Fate of Ophelia" and then ran through every ...
