Me When I'm Hover Peeing And A Trickle Runs Down My Leg

And I wondered what it was like to be chosen. I was never chosen. I was a maybe, a probably, sometimes even a definitely but never the one, never the chosen one.

friend: are you coming?

Please tell people you’re struggling.

Don’t suffer in silence. Tell someone. Get help.

It can be hard to maintain momentum at this point in the semester, especially after Spring break, so here’s a checklist I use to keep myself motivated until finals arrive.

Evaluate your progress so far. How did you do on your midterms? Are you doing as well as you expected in your classes? Take this opportunity to figure out which study methods have been effective for you, and which ones didn’t work. 

Re-evaluate your goals. Remind yourself what you’re working towards (both short-term and long-term), and take a moment to pat yourself on the back for how far you’ve come.

Change up your routine. I’m a very schedule-oriented person, so I can fall into habits that become boring or unproductive. Change something about your routine – whether it be major, like waking up earlier every day, or smaller, like getting coffee from a different place on campus – and I guarantee you it will make your week a little more exciting.

Touch base with your friends. A lot of people isolate themselves when they’re under a lot of pressure or stress, so it’s important to reach out to your friends. I have standing dates with my friends to go to the gym, get food, or just study together, and this really helps get me through the week. Also, hanging out with your friends is just fun, and we all need that.

Reward yourself. Buy yourself that necklace you’ve had your eye on, or go to your favorite ice cream place. Honestly, you deserve it!

Hang in there everyone, the semester is almost over!
