Well friends, spring semester is\u00a0officially in full swing. Classes have started, which\u00a0also\u00a0means homework.\u00a0Of course,\u00a0when school starts,\u00a0life kicks into full gear. To be honest, I was ready to start school and for break to be over. Not because I was ready to start the actual school part and homework part but because I was ready to get back to my friends and,\u00a0most importantly,\u00a0a schedule. I love having a schedule–yeah I\u2019m weird like that.\u00a0I have a hard time functioning without a planner. I cannot make plans without taking a look at my schedule to make sure that I have that time open. My planner is one of the things that I am very particular about.<\/p>\n
Of course as school started last week,\u00a0my planner started to fill up. It filled up mostly with homework, which is not always that exciting. At the same time that I began to fill up my planner with school work, I\u00a0also began to add\u00a0social events.\u00a0That\u00a0means I had to change some things around in my planner,\u00a0and I\u2019m not the biggest fan\u00a0of\u00a0schedule changes\u00a0because\u00a0I like having a routine.\u00a0Once school started last week,\u00a0I found myself having social plans every night.\u00a0That wasn\u2019t\u00a0exactly helpful when it came to finishing homework. The fact that senioritis\u00a0has hit hard has\u00a0not\u00a0been much help either.<\/p>\n
Anyway, last week I found myself hanging out with friends every night. From a going away party, to playing Bunco, to hanging out with some of my staff, being able to hang out with friends and just laugh all night is a great way to just relax and not worry about the things that are to come for this next semester. I realized how important it is to not think about what is to come because sometimes\u00a0thinking of the future brings up feelings of worry. Getting out allows me to have fun, not worry about the future and what is to come.<\/p>\n
One thing I realized from all those late nights hanging out with friends is that I am\u00a0incredibly\u00a0blessed to be surrounded by the people that God has placed in my life. At the end of the week I was thankful for the laughs and memories that I had made with the people that I truly care about. I was thankful to have changed\u00a0things around in my planner and to have an irregular routine for the week, even if it meant I was staying up late to finish homework. I\u00a0am, after all, making\u00a0memories that will last a\u00a0lifetime.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well friends, spring semester is\u00a0officially in full swing.
