Stress is when you wake up screaming and realized you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Ah Spring Term, how happy I was that you had come into my life a few weeks ago. How different I feel now.

Let me put it this way: I AM BUSY. My schedule is off the hook hectic, I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, and I'm starting to get a bit bitchy.
Sometimes I love being a bitch, but being a bitch because I'm stressed really sucks. I don't even want to be around me when a good old fashioned bitch fit is thrown down. Who is that girl? She's not me.

So I'll reflect on this change I need to make:

This weekend I participated in Peace Jam, which took up my entire weekend. Is that a complaint? No way! I loved it. It was such a great learning opportunity and it really taught me a lot about myself and the things I do. It taught me about some of the shitty ways I communicate with people and how to change that. I realized that sometimes I spend so much time worrying about money or school or stuff like that. You know what? Fuck it.

In the big, grand scheme of things. My money crunching for this month doesn't mean anything. I have it great, my life is great. I'm one lucky girl.

I would love to get more involved with the world. The nobel peace laureate, Jody Williams, was really an inspiration for me. I WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE. I want to embrace my feminist side and roar at the world. I want to do something that people will remember, that will impact someone.

So what should I do?

Stop worrying about this stupid shit and start focusing more of my time on things that matter.

  1. I love this girl!! And I'm ALL about it. Seems like the next step is for you to figure out what DOES matter to you and what you are passionate about, then make things happen! I'm cheering you on 100% of the way!!
