Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
I find it fascinating how easy it is for the mind to wander... Wander into areas of no thought, random thought, and every thought. I feel my mind wander back and forth between these mindsets. It's hard to hold a point of focus sometimes when the central thought bubble is always changing. What I…
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.…
It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
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. Whether it be sadness, happiness, joy, anger, confusion... all of the emotions I'm sure I've felt and we've all felt. But sometimes I don't know why I feel a…
As it is easy for myself to look ahead at what's to come, I can't help but be eager to start things that I know are coming in my near future. I know what I'm going to do when the time comes, so I am ready to get after it! Unfortunately, that's not how…
Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…
I care about a lot. There is so much in life that I put value into. I don't think that many of these things will ever disappear from my "circle of values". Which, to me, is good but scary. It is good because there will always be value in my life and the…
As today is Veteran's Day, we remember all of those who have served our country of the United States of America in battle. I will be forever thankful for those who have served, currently serve, and will serve. With today in mind being the theme of remembrance, it makes me think about us as…
I am nearing, or experiencing, a lot of "lasts". The final part of my term as Vice President of my fraternity. The final month of college classes in my undergraduate college experience. The final semester of college golf. The final week until I turn 21 (I'm just getting old). It's all, of course,…
