Take A Breath

This past week has been extremely trying. I was under so much stress in most aspects of my life; I didn’t really know how to handle it all. I know everyone always talks about how their stressers don’t affect them “that much,” but that is a lie. When enough things bog you down, it will always affect you.

I shared with you all last time that I was applying for a new job… and guess what?! I GOT IT! I’m on staff next year in New South Hall and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Working with a large staff again and being on West Campus were two things I really pushed for. But even though things worked out for the best, I was still really stressed all week… just ask all my friends. It wasn’t anything I could control, I know that, but my future hung in the balance! (I know that sounded melodramatic, but that was my state of mind all last week.)

And beyond all that, I still have school. Really?! I feel like sometimes that part of my life is forgotten about. But working with groups can be another stresser in my life, as list week kept on pointing out. And guess what our project was on? Conflict. I just had so much to do, and analyzing conflict didn’t help. Haha.

I realized that this post is very moral-heavy. It’s like a good episode of Scrubs that way. Everything in my life last week really made me focus in on something. That we stress for unnecessary reasons. That working together is much easier that working alone. That if you just take a second and breath, things will work out. Everything worked out well, and I know that all I need to do, is not let the little things in life bog me down anymore.
