I hate studying. Can I please just be done with finals week now?
3 down, 2 to go…
I have one tomorrow at 12:30 pm and I’ve been severely lacking motivation tonight.
:(
Oh Finals week…
I’m eating terribly.
I’m not exercising.
I’m not sleeping.
I’m living in libraries, study lounges and out of sweatpants.
I’m stressed out of my mind.
I can’t wait for this to be over. I promise I’ll be back soon.
Feeling pretty crappy.
This is my rant about the future and how scary and awful it is to think about…
I see other people who have their life together, or at least a plan that is well thought out. They’re doing something prestigious, important and worthwhile with their academics and future careers.
And then there’s me. I feel like I’m always stuck…never really going anywhere.
I have no idea what grad school programs I want to look into/apply to.
I should be working in a different psychology lab than I am currently in right now that is better suited for my career focus.
I should really be figuring out a senior thesis idea.
I should probably be thinking about preparing for the GRE.
There are just so many things that I know I should be taking care of and figuring out, but any time I think about them I get extremely anxious, stressed and upset. I’m struggling to find a direction…I never feel like what I’m doing at this school and in my studies is important or meaningful in any way. I keep being told I won’t be able to find a job/pay off my college loans/get into grad school after I’m done here.
All of this just makes me upset. I want it to go away but it won’t.
Been really off lately with diet/exercise…
Finals really screwed me up….couldn’t find time to go to the gym and I was eating so sporadically and just not the best. Stress also really didn’t help me.
Fortunately I still weigh somewhere between 113-115…but I can just feel less toned and in shape and its bothering me.
I need to definitely step it up over break. I’m hoping to do lots of at home workouts, because without the gym for a month I will not be a happy camper.
But I can breathe a little easier now because finals are DONE. Hopefully I did decent this semester…
