Fall Break

Fall break did indeed creep up on me. It seems just yesterday that I moved into my room and said goodbye to my parents. Nothing the less I was very happy when Fall break finally did come around the corner. School is no joke as you guys probably know. A lot going on at the moment, exams coming up, projects and papers due and on top of that athletics is starting to pick up. We must remember to keep track of what needs to be done as with so much going on at once it is very easy to forget the little things. I wonder who might have forgotten to blog as we were all busy during this weekend.

    Fall break was great! I got to go home with one of my friends and we were busy to say the least. Got in Friday night and immediately went to play pickleball. After getting done around 1:00 AM we had some Dennis and called it a night. The very next morning we got on the courts again. It was lots of fun if you couldn't tell. After that we went to get a haircut and primed the walls of the house his family will be moving into soon. Working with friends, and having a laugh made it enjoyable although I do not think it is something I want to do on a daily. Besides meeting his family and friends who were all lovely people we got in the gym and actually saw some friends from school. We watched some football games and discussed what might be the hardest sport to play. After a long discussion, we agreed on boxing or ice hockey. 

    Yes, the long weekend was packed with lots of great activities and adventures and therefore flew by in the blink of an eye. So it was upsetting when this morning we had to get up early pack our things and head back to school for practice. Not ideal to say the very least. However, now we must think about the good times back at school and all the great things we have to look forward to. And trust me. Soon enough we will all be cleaning our rooms, packing out things and getting ready to leave for Winter break. This year my parents are planning on coming up for a week or two which I am eagerly awaiting. See you back in class !!!

Stress

 Stress Once again we are in a part of the year where classes get more difficult and the amount of work that needs to be done increases. Besides basketball picking up as we are approaching our first official game this Saturday against Kalamazoo College in Michigan. I have numerous tests and assessments in many of my classes to study for. Therefore this off-day tomorrow will be a huge part of my week. Hopefully, it takes some of the stress off me.      Not going to lie, yes I have been under some stress lately which does not help when having to manage many things at once. But perhaps that is where it comes from. Either way, I need to make sure to utilize my off day and get some things done in an effort to free up the rest of my week. Having more time for the remainder of the week is huge as Saturday is scratched and the entire day will go to the game. This means that I only really get Sunday to do the things I need to do. Some of these are important for my future such as writing a cover

Locking In

 Locking In We are finally here, at this point in the semester. The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping and all students are eagerly awaiting the last exam and starting their journey home for Christmas break. I cannot wait for this moment of relief, knowing another semester has come to an end and that I earned my time off. These last 3 weeks move very quickly and before you know it break will be here. Even if it seems too far away at this moment in time. But with all the assignments, final projects and exams all lying in these 3 weeks it is essential to lock in and not slack off. Some deciding factors of grades are made during this time so I advise you and myself to just push through. It will be over soon.     One way to do this if you haven't done so already is to write down all the tasks you have for the rest of our time here. Not only does this give you a better understanding of what and how much time you should invest. If entering this data on a calendar

Struggle and Pain

 Struggle and Pain The beauty of struggle and pain is something that oftentimes is forgotten, especially for people going through hardships. The bottom line is that without struggle or pain or both, you will not be able to flourish into the best version of yourself. Bamboo takes a year to sprout out the ground, during which it expands roots underneath the surface, building a foundation, for when it does sprout it grows so fast it is considered to be the fastest growing plant. However, this is not always the case because a lot of the time you will be dealt a deck of cards with challenge after challenge just trying to push and keep you down and often it feels like that breaking through the ground will never happen. And sometimes it doesn't. But even if it does not work out in one path of life it will in another and do not forget all the valuable lessons and the resilience you have built up to that point. Simply put you would not be the person you are without it.     These feelings of
