Ou-did I remember to submit my term paper?

-Cue hyperventilations-

Hello and welcome to the never ending pit of worry, 2,855 mental breakdowns and of course that last desperate attempt at a decent GPA, I present to you;

Finals Week.

These two words whisking through the crisp, manure-infused air and is known to strike paralyzing fear into the hearts of many.


BUTT

You don't have to submit to the many whims and terrors of the dreaded 4 more days.

Make a plan.
Follow through with the plan.
Slay the final.
Become President of the world.

Just remember you have lungs for a reason, so take some time for yourself this week. Inhale and Exhale, remind yourself you are not going to die from these inked, slain trees in bundles of fearsome stacks.

Own It.

1647, 4/7/2018 as I'm taking a break from studying for Microbiology Exam 4 a blog musing evolved in my mind. Muahahaha my mind is a big petri dish of mush. Survey question dear readers, How many of you hang onto negative comments for dear life? Analyzing and overthinking every careless whisper to intersect your ears. I know I do. Reader, why are humans like this? To magnify every insult and comment and discard the positive ones as if they are useless. And why do people wish to inflict so much pain on others? Why are we so adamant on being accepted into the crowd of normalcy instead of striving to be the unique being God has created us to be? I have a theory. Being different means becoming an outcast in a sense, trust me I can relate. It means reaching out to situations possibly alone because of what you believe in/ who you truely are. And it's scary! But why would you ever even THINK of following the normal route dear reader? Why would you live a life simply fo

.Radical Love.

Have you ever wanted SO badly to share something with someone but been so paralyzed with fear with how the other will react? All. The. Time. Story Time! Recently, (today) I was approached with this situation, as a good friend of mine poured out their heart to me whilst in the crisp fall air. Eyes anxiously watching of how I would react to what they were telling me and if I would choose to accept it or not. (I did, do not worry dear readers). It made me look back to how many countless times I've almost gone full meltdown before approaching someone with news. Sharing secrets can be... simply put, Petrifying. You're sharing something with them that you consider so sacred, so safe-guarded. It's showing a level of trust and intimacy between yourselves. So why are we so terrified to say things? Simply put, our culture is terrified to be judged because of the fear of losing that person's support. No one wants to lose their ride or die because of a secret.

Love Yourself.

Mom's weekend usually involves shopping at some point and time. (It's a given) So knowingly enough my mother and I ended at Hyvee scrounging around for unique food when we came to the checkout. The cashier was obviously a little overwhelmed and had just began work as she struggled to keep up with the conveyor belt as I made small talk with her.  Sure enough it was her second day and I smiled and told her I'd been in her exact same shoes and I wished her good luck with the end of her shift. Without hesitation she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small stone and gave it to me as she said, "I hope you do this EVERY day."  The stone had 2 words scrawled on it in flowing manuscript, "Love Yourself". Unbenounced to her I hadn't been having the best day and this small act of kindness sprang tears to my eyes. God was definitely influencing her Love yourself. Such an interesting phrase isn't it?  So many would cons
