Stress.
What stresses a person out? School, work, home-life, personal appearance, money, or even just something as simple as a dirty room? Well for me it's most of the above. Here's another question… How do most people handle stress? Some people eat, cry, get angry, hide themselves, become depressed, turn to alcohol or drugs, or even resort to self harm. For me I just get completely and totally worn out. I push myself to my limits when I'm stressed, thinking I can take on more and more, even when I can't. I don't get more than 6 hours of sleep every night, I start to eat very unhealthy, and I even sometimes see my grades start to slip. Right now I am stressed. As you can tell I am writing this blog one hour before it's due, which is probably not the best scholarly habit to be practicing, but I have had a lot on my plate lately. I feel as if I always have these reoccurring three week periods where I am busy from school to 11 every night. I am in one of those periods right now. With my new job, my sisters upcoming graduation, starting to think about college, pushing hard to keep my grades up, and all of the regular end of the year craziness, I haven't had time to think about anything. So I'm very sorry to anyone that reads this post, because even I know its lacking in my normal creative or opinion filled blog posts. But when I was thinking about what I should write my blog on, the first thing that came to my mind was to be honest. So here I am telling you, my fellow classmates, that I am stressed. I am just worn out right now and I can't wait to finally be able to crash. I am ready for summer anytime now, and I think it's only about 29 school days away! That is awesome. So as I lay on my bed contemplating whether or not I should submit this blog I can't stop thinking about summer, friends, family, and a time of peace that is just around the corner. I'm sure you all can agree that the end of school is near, and you are losing most of your motivation. I sure hope that I am not the only one that feels this way! But I guess the main point of this post is to warn you all not to become susceptible to the crazy things stress can do to you! I am not doctor nor do I even know much about anything, but I think stress can ruin a person everyday and can definitely hold a person back from doing the things they want to! So don't forget to take a break, pamper yourself, and just take a breather from all the stresses in your life. :)

You said this so well! I'm so stressed lately with trying to keep my grades up, understanding everything, and I finally got my room completely finished. Summer seems like it's so far away, but I know it's just around the corner. Also, take your own advice and take a breather! You did a really good job writing this, and don't worry; my blog was 10 minutes late. ;)
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Don't be worried to say no once in a while! Your body can only do so much! But you basically just said everything I wanted to! Your description was dead on. I hope you relax this weekend and enjoy it. Catch up on sleep and enjoy the last few weeks. It will fly by! (:
ReplyDeleteThe way you are and the way your blogs are they all seem very connected. You have strength and motivation and thats what your blog shows. Life can throw you for loops sometimes and give you a very long stress period of time, but remember to always take a breather.

ReplyDeleteWell, thank you for being honest! I feel for you. The end of the year gets super stressful! With work, homework, and friends I'm not getting enough sleep either. It never fails that I fall asleep in Chemistry! I think you did a good job describinb your everyday life. I loved how you meantioned that you were writing this an hour before it was due! Blogs are suppose to be honest and show personality, which you certainly did! Good job, Rachel
ReplyDeleteEven though you said sorry for it not being as creative, I really felt that this blog was a unique piece of art. All of the honestly and reality in it made it great. Sometimes thoughts are more creative than strick literature. I enjoyed this writing a lot. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a clever use of words when you said you have a lot on your plate. It related to how you talked about eating unhealthy and your job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your classmates. Your honesty in your writing is a strong point here. I think your topic is also very relevant, not just for students, but all people who seem to be busy doing everything at once. It seems to be a cultural condition.
