Today is Day One of Hell Week. It may sound silly, but this week is my first legitimate full week of grade-influencing schoolwork. From here on out, I have a speech, or paper, or test every day. Each of these pieces will count for roughly a quarter of my final grade in the class, so I have to kick butt. Not to mention I have duty, staff meetings, student senate meetings, sorority meetings, etc. up the wazoo. Goodbye, social life, family, and friends; and hello, stress! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I secretly love the stress…even though I stress about stress. Keep up, kid.
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel. At exactly 11:50 am on Friday, I will be free from school, and the wonderlands of Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn Fabrics will be awaiting me, along with Brenton Skate Plaza where I will spend the evening ice skating with my sisters. Yes, I legitimately already have a countdown bookmarked on Safari. To get me through each day, I'm keeping my sights set on Friday and posting quick blog blurbs. Welcome to day one.
Tip # 1: Make a schedule. Make it beautiful. Make it unique. I love looking at mine.
Tip # 2: Stay on track. Stick to the schedule. Avoid distractions.
Tip #3: Don't worry about faltering a bit. The world will still turn. Obviously from today's timestamp, I'm already off schedule. Just keep on trekking.
Tip #4: Be realistic. About workload. About study partners. About time management skills.
Tip #5: Support someone else. Chances are, 115 other people are experiencing the exact same set of responsibilities. Give a hug. Send a text. Rub friendship elbows. Whatever it is, just do it.
Tip #6: Sleep. Go to bed. Get up early. Nap if needed. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Goodnight, moon.
