Hey blog readers and readers with ulterior motives (reading this because your bored out of your mind) alike. I apologize for not writing in a while. I don't remember if I posted this in my last blog post or previous blog posts but I have recently moved back into college so I may not post as much as I normally do. College life is very hectic and stressful in general so the best way I can put this is that you must be prepared to have any kind of curve ball thrown at you. Anything at all, because no one can ever really know what its like until they get here. I certainly didn't.
A lot has changed since we last talked. I won't lie to you guys, things have been extremely difficult. Most of it I cannot tell you because of confidentiality with me and with others. Breaking that would not be right, so I am not. However it is because of these things I have had trouble keeping my head up. I feel like I'm treading water in the middle of the ocean with nothing around for hours and my my body is getting tired to the point of giving out. I cannot speak the same for myself but if that ever happens to you guys, always make sure you can see the shore, so to speak. Because I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone. It sucks, and the more you tread the worse it gets.
What others have told me helps getting out of low points, is keeping a schedule and sticking to it helps. Making that plan for yourself and having a goal will make accomplishment so much sweeter when you get there. I know when I do the stuff I have planned for the day, like chores or homework, out of the way I feel good. If you just focus on those things, you will feel more fulfilled and successful.
Keep doing what makes you happy. If you have hobbies that you love to do like reading or writing, or even just surfing the internet looking up random videos of snorting puppies, do it. My escape is playing the piano and writing music. I could sit there for hours just playing and writing songs, even if I don't remember them later.
Always keep doing a physical activity. Whether it be a sport or just going to the gym. It helps get that excess energy out and makes you tired to help you sleep at night. Don't give up on it, or fall behind because then you'll feel badly and embarrassed. I always rag on myself for not going to the gym, or swimming laps enough. That's something I need to keep up on.
However if you are anything like me you are incapable of taking your own advice. (Or at least the advice I've been told that I am passing along to you) From this point I (or you) have two options, let the low consume or just keep swimming. I'd rather just keep swimming. You never know what the future has to hold for you. If you miss out on what up ahead then you'll never know what could have been. I mean once you get to a certain low, there's nowhere to go but up. So Thanks Dory, I'll just keep swimming.
