i know i'm not alone in feeling the pain of the last two weeks of the semester. i'm sure college students everywhere join me in just feeling like we need to push through. i just got back out about two days ago and it feels like i never left. whether you think that's good or bad, that's up to you.
i'm trying my best in all of my classes, and every day that looks different. but i am ready to be done. in college, i think the most important lesson i've learned is bouncing back from failure. because you haven't truly failed if you never give up. that's at least what i'm telling myself right now.
i talked to my therapist about an hour ago and we were talking about the importance of choices. we have the choice to do whatever we want and whatever we can. today, i saw that i didn't score anywhere near as well as i thought i would on a major assignment and i had two options. option one, the more tempting of the two, crawl back into bed, make hot chocolate, find a movie to watch and essentially cry about it. or option two, the one i'm in the middle of right now, put on your big girl pants and go to class. sometimes option one is the answer, but today option two was. i feel like it's important to note that you don't always have to tough it out, because sometimes that can be more detrimental.
anyway, i'm planning on going to starbucks after class to reward myself. today is a big girl pants day, and we can do hard things.
