It has been a couple of great weeks. Between the time change and it trying to feel like spring, I have seen a difference in myself and felt better too. There has even been some extra time for self-care, and I took full advantage of that. I cannot believe this semester is almost over. For some time before Spring Break, it felt like it was dragging on, and the end would never come. Now, we are in the final countdown, and things are going along pretty smooth. I think it is safe to say that all of my friends and I are looking forward to finishing this semester and trying to crank things out to make the end seem a little closer. So far, that philosophy seems to be working. Sometimes, I feel guilty taking that extra time for myself or being away from the books for an extended time, but if it comes down to sanity or getting a few extra glances at information, chances are I am going to do something to keep myself in the right headspace. Doing all the work without having some fun makes for a long semester. Even if it is taking the extra time to make something really good for dinner and watching a favorite show, I count that time as a win and thoroughly enjoy it. It makes the snap of reality sting less, and honestly, it is the small things in life that sometimes makes everything better. I realize this chapter of life will be my one and only like it. I have one chance to make the best of it, and I had to break my own habit of putting all the work before any ounce of fun. I have since made an effort to let myself do more fun things after class or on the weekends. I was beginning to feel like a hermit who only left the house for class and grocery shopping. While I am still queen of the homebodies, I can still have a good time. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2019
