Earlier today I was sitting down writing a to-do list for the rest of the semester all with the final goal of finishing in time to go home for the Holiday Break. Then I started to plan my vacation. Whoa, stop right there. Planning my vacation? Wait just a hot second. Since when was vacation a planned time? It kills me to think that the time I am supposed to be resting and taking a break from the various stresses of college and working life is usually spent running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to see everyone and do as many things as possible while also continuing to study for classes. At times, I find that going home is more stressful than the time I am at college. That's just.... crazy to me.
So it is my goal this winter break to do as little as possible. I will still spend time with people but I do not intend to run all over the place or go out and paint the town red. It is now, finally, time to just sit on the couch, catch up on my favorite TV shows, maybe rent some movies, and just let my body heal and cleanse itself.
It is time to get back to my regular sleeping and eating schedules and take a giant deep breath before it starts anew with the coming semester. I will not be the run a round girl anymore. It's time for my ultimate R and R.
