stress and the ending

 The end of the semester is coming up and there is a lot of stress on my shoulders, as I am sure many of you feel the same way. There is finals coming up and very little time to get everything in. There are a few ways I keep myself organized that I would like to share, Firstly keep a binder to separate all of your assignments from each class. Secondly give yourself time to take breaks from work but do not procrastinate. Work in a quiet space to have less distractions. I have a really hard time focusing so keeping myself motivated is very hard. But it is possible. My advice is to keep pushing, keep trying, and don't give up

Thanksgiving

 This year on Thanksgiving it is going to be a bit different for me and my family. Ever since Covid hit the family just can not get all together in one time. Although these times can be a bummer, there are positive outlooks. The smaller the gathering is you can spend more time with each family member which is nice because I barely get to see them. I had dinner with a cousin I have not seen in forever the other day and now we are hanging out this week! No matter how long it is until I see my family next, family is forever. 

Driving music

 As I said in my recent blog post, I had a two hour drive over the past weekend. During these drives it can be really tiring, and boring. Some things I did on the car ride was listened to podcasts and discovered some new music. On Spotify I would play a new song I liked and let the station keep going to discover songs similar to the one I liked. A song recommendation I have for you this week is "Dangerous Indeed-Rare Creatures" Rare Creatures was a new artist I discovered. So even though these drives are very long, there are good things that come out of it with all the extra time you have by yourself.

Indianapolis

 This weekend I spent it in Indy to see my sister and some friends. The drive was 2 hours and it flew by. This weekend was a great weekend for me to de stress. I got a look in the life of living in an apartment and being on the IUPUI campus and it was really fun. Although I stay home for college and sometimes I wish I was on campus with my own house and roommates, it seems very stressful. I got some homework done, cleaned, made dinner for my friends, and cleaned some more! Being on your own can be fun but it comes with a lot more responsibility, and money...!

Fluid

A few weeks ago I quit my restaurant job for reasons such as wage and hours. I was searching for a better paying job with better hours, such as morning shifts and I applied for this coffee place called Fluid. I recently got a call and I go to fill out paperwork for them today. I do not think I have ever been this excited for a job... not only do I get great hours and good pay, but I can dress up and wear any style I want. As long as it is appropriate of course.

Campus discoveries

 This week I really was struggling with school. I did not do as good on my math exam as I thought, I lost my homework assignment, and then my car broke down. So I have had a constant struggle to get to class and find rides until my car is fixed. A few days ago I ran into an old friend on campus and we hung out while I was waiting for my ride, and I told her what was going on and she offered to take me to school the next day because we went at the same time. Today we discovered the Starbucks in the CLO building....which was most definitely one of the best campus discoveries I have made.
