The bittersweet end of a semester is finally here! I've been very busy with school and with church activities. We have exciting events coming up for the youth and I have heard some surprising news as well about what to look forward to with these festivities. My last final is on Wednesday and I think Michelle and I are trying to plan a trip down to LA to take some pictures.
With the free time I get before winter semester starts, I'm honestly going to try to take advantage of every moment. Whether it be taking the day off, pampering myself, and watching some films or just going out with friends and enjoying their company. I planned to try and reduce my time spent on social media just so I can breathe in the polluted air around me, haha! I want to focus working on photography, writing music, reading books, and meeting new people. It's something I have been craving to do throughout this whole semester. Now that the time will be given to me, it's a must I take advantage of it. Since I haven't been getting much sleep the past 16 weeks, I will admit that my bad temper rises up more than usual and I lose my patience easily. Sometimes I'm just too tired to interact because I didn't get any sleep the night before and it comes off as rude and snobby. But honestly, sometimes I take a step back and wonder why I put more than I can handle on my plate sometimes. I'm highly involved in school and church--I mean, I don't mind it because those are some of my top priorities but now I'm helping my cousin plan a New Years party for the family. I know three things don't seem too much from this perspective, but if you knew the things I did for each thing I'm pretty sure you'll understand it a little more. I don't have time to do what I want to do and it makes me sad. I have bought books to read but couldn't find time to just sit back and read. I listen to music that inspires me to write a song, but I have to put it aside because I need to write a 10 page paper. I want to go out and see new things but I have to stay home and study for this exam. Can't go out with friends that day because I need to go to a meeting. And it goes on. This is why I hope this winter break is not filled with my face planted on my phone or laptop the whole time. I want to take plenty of time for myself, catch up with friends, anything. I don't even mind if my friends and I are in a room with nothing planned as long as we're within each others company. I miss my friends. I haven't seen some of them in so long because schedules don't align.
God bless everyone taking finials within the next two weeks!
Study hard, stay positive, and finish strong!
