As it seems to happen every year around or after finals week, I am sick. I'm not surprised - although this finals week is less stressful than some in the past, I still find the end of each semester a point to where my body is run down... Out of energy, for sure. Unfortunately,…
I feel that I have expressed this before, but my stance on boredom has somewhat changed. I still don't like boredom, but it provides different opportunities than I previously imagined it. Over Thanksgiving break, I found many pockets of boredom. My schedule wasn't very full and I had completed tasks that I needed to complete.…
As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
Sometimes I experience feelings that I can't explain. I sit and think about whatever I'm thinking about and I realize that I am feeling an emotion.

Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
