Life is starting to get busy. I have something going on every single weekday (and at least one thing most weekends) for the next around eight weeks. It's a lot, and it feels like a lot. I read my post about My Worst Semester the other day. I remember what that felt like, and what … Continue reading Scheduling

Setting Yourself up for Success
You ever have that moment where a lightbulb goes off in your head? Yeah same. I just had this happen last week. So I wanted to share my story. You see, I had set up a tracker for myself. I'm working on being better in multiple areas to improve my health overall. However, the tracker … Continue reading Setting Yourself up for Success
Taking Care of Yourself
I can't tell you how good it feels to be on Spring Break this week. To be 100% honest, I think I was more excited for spring break than some of my students. And it's not even that I have plans this week. In fact, I don't really have any plans at all this week. … Continue reading Taking Care of Yourself
Do Nothing Days
To be completely honest, everything has been a lot lately. It seems as if it's all coming at once. I've talked about spoons and burnout and just how everything happens at once. But the other day? I woke up, got a couple things done, realized I had depleted most of my spoons and laid back … Continue reading Do Nothing Days
Finding Passion in Life
As the school year is winding down, I'm finding there's a lot more stress and things to plan. A lot of my college-age friends are preparing for finals, and even my students are beginning to sense the end of the year is coming. For my class personally, we are finishing out content this week. We're … Continue reading Finding Passion in Life

Your job, school, friendships, relationships, or even yourself. And I don't mean this to say that you shouldn't let anyone or anything in. I mean this to say … Continue reading Boundaries

To the Class of 2020
To the Class of 2020, I get this. In fact, I am in the exact same position as you. I was supposed to walk across the stage this past weekend with all my friends and receive my diploma holder. It was supposed to be a wonderful day. But that was just my hope. The reality … Continue reading To the Class of 2020

What I Learned While Writing a Thesis
It's been a long time coming! Months of research, writing, phone calls, emails, hours in libraries, nose in books, and eyes tired from the number of articles and newspapers I scoured, but it has all led up to this! For my undergraduate Honors program, the last big requirement is to write a thesis. It took … Continue reading What I Learned While Writing a Thesis
Handling Stress
I've talked about stress before, but except for a post last month where I talked about how not to be stressed at a stressful job (read it here), I realized I've never done a post on how I handle my stress. So let's change that this week! I'm pretty stressed because of everything I have … Continue reading Handling Stress
Putting in Work
I feel like life gets in the way sometimes. We get busy with certain things and neglect others. Life is always a balancing act. It's important to balance everything you do. Doing too much, even if it's something you love, will wear you down and could destroy you. However, that being said, it is important … Continue reading Putting in Work
