Everyone keeps saying how they hate “this time of year” or “well
it is that time of the semester.” I am a freshman in college and this is my
first semester, so it’s hard for me to really understand what everyone means
when they say “this time of the semester.”
However, I think I finally know.
Right now, I have so many papers due within a three day time
span. I know finals are right around the corner. To top it off, I am a mess of
emotions right now too. Everything is so overwhelming. It feels like lately it
is go, go, go, and don’t stop or else you’ll get behind. Everyone is asking so
much of me, but how I am suppose to give my all to one person or subject, and
still have enough energy and time to give to everyone and everything else.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO WITH SO LITTLE TIME.
It will be okay. I know it will. I know that is so cliché to
say, but it’s true. One thing I have learned to do is manage my time better. I’m
still not the best at it. It is a working progress. However, what I have done
so far has helped me to be in control more. I did this at the beginning of the
semester and then lost it. I know managing my time is a great way to not feel
so overwhelmed. I’ve learned college isn’t like high school where you can just
skip a day of school and not have to worry about turning in a paper. In college,
even if you don’t go to class, you still have to submit that paper. Crazy,
right? That is why it’s so important to stay on top of your work.
Lately, I have been super emotional. I’ve been dealing with
many other people who are constantly asking me for advice and telling me about
the problems they are having. Within the past two weeks, I’ve been so caught up
in trying to help everyone else; I haven’t paid attention to my emotions
enough. Now, they seem to be hitting me all at once. You must take time for
yourself. Your health is important. It is most important actually, and it’s
okay to love yourself.
Keep Calm & Cope On!
