Mandalas

Remember that time I wrote about how am I a kid at Heart? Well, this is one of those times again, but now, with a different turning point. I like coloring and painting and expressing myself with art in any way or form.

Sometimes

I hope you have a good start of the week. 

People are always telling everyone that, but sometimes, they might just be wrong.

 

How to deal with...

I should warn you..This was written a couple days ago when my stress level was on it's peek. I was hesitant to post it, but I will anyways cause they were my most genuine feelings at that moment. Right Now I am feeling good and loving some me time. 

Friends drama is one thing and Family drama is another whole different thing. There are good days, bad days and the days in between. I am on a stress note here, since Monday I have been having anxiety and a reoccurring small headache. Plus work, plus university PLUS a household that seems to be falling apart because we can't deal enough with the things we have to do, is just not doing it for me, I can't concentrate, I can't sleep much and that is something I cannot cope with. I can barely do a thing on here but the people who are supposed to make the decisions are just not making them. I sometime wished that I could just go to sleep and make it all go away, the problems, the anxiety, the stress. 

Don't get me wrong, I am trying to hold it together, but today I just can't, I can't do it any more.  And here is my small rant about my life at the moment. 

I have been a good daughter (at least I try my best), a good student (which my grades can speak for themselves) and a good friends (to those who really matter to me, at least I am trying hard not to neglect them). All this is just starting to seem to me that I can't cope with some of the real stress-factors going on right now. I just want to give up and catch a plane to an almost deserted Island with a good book, some music and tons of sunscreen and do NOTHING. NOTHING at all. I need my peace of mind right now, which seems to be just slipping through my fingers every second that goes by.

That was the end, at least of my rant about how awful my life felt at that time, I didn't even finished writing this because I was so angry and broken. But it felt good to release all that negativity that was floating around my head. 

I hope you had a great Monday and keep up positive energy coming your way.

Therapy: To Shop

When a girl is stressed, she buys things to make that feeling go away. 

I am the living proof of it. 

I just came home from a shopping spree with my parents and it was so relaxing. I am 2 days away from midterms and I am stressed to the top level. Horrible. We bought some things for the house and some groceries too. 

I found the cutest sweater in the kids section that was large enough to fit me and that was a very good deal. 

Do you like to free your mind shopping? What do you do to relieve stress?

Wondering wondering

My mind is disperse all around the place. Do you never look back and see at a past relationship and wonder what if? What if you didn't break up with that person? what would your path be? How would you be handling the situation at this exact moment? 

A lot of doubts come to mind when thinking what could have happened. And so as to think what could become of it.

And also, what do you think of falling in love with the wring person which ends up being the right one? Depends on your definition of right and wrong but it all starts to make sense doesn't it? 

The reason I am being so random with this is that yesterday I had a dream. Don't ask me if it was a good one or a bad one because I can't really tell that myself. I dreamed about Julia Robert's My Best friend's wedding. Yeah, so bizarre. I don't even know where that came from due to the fact that I have not seen anything related to it and specially the movie in so long. Is my mind playing some sort of delusional prank on me? or what is going on?

What ever it is that my mind is trying to do to my sanity, I just wondered but would it be if I took different paths, made other decisions and kept on going?

What would have happened now? where would I've been today? would I have been sitting here writing this? Would I marry that one person that made me feel awesome at the time? Would I have learned the things I learned in the path that I am now?

Who knows, but in the end, I am glad that nothing stayed the same, that I have this life now and I wouldn't want it any other way. Many things may arise in the future, but change is not bad at all. Scary. OBVIOUSLY. but not bad.

Do you ever have this doubts?

I hope you have an awesome start of the week <3

In Sickness and in health...

The majority of University students might already know this, but for those who don't I leave you here what being sick during classes looks like (or...feels like). 

Picture yourself with a runny nose, sneezing non-stop, feeling like a truck just run you over and to top it all like a cherry in your favorite ice-cream, your coughing like a dog... Sick to the bones (well today is one of those days for me). 

It's time for you to get going to class, but you just don't want to move from your bed, not even take off you pink bunny fuzzy PJ`s. If you don't go, you might miss something important from lecture and might get behind on the work you have to deliver for next week. It's a very difficult point to be standing in. HORRIBLE. 

University, college and grad school  are like being married. It is stuck with you in sickness and in health and will not care if you look (and feel) your worse, it is just standing there by your side, waiting for you to be faithful to your commitment. 

Me right now :(

Oh dear, I feel like this huge tower was demolished over me and I got burrowed within. But unfortunately I have to go to classes and read. My head is in so much pain that I can hardly concentrate, but I try to do my best with this. To top it all, I need to handle a situation with one of my groups. 

I hope you guys are taking care of yourselves to prevent any illness, be smart and transition to the different seasons correctly. You will not want to feel like I am toping it all with the stress of classes.

Updatable me: Back to classes

Hey everyone! 

As some may know already, I am back at University. I've been back for just 2 days and I feel the teachers are giving us a lot of work already! Final projects, essays, presentations, well indeed a lot! I am feeling exhausted but I have the feeling that this is going to be a great semester! I have recovered some great tips on getting organized for these projects, specially from The College Prepster, that I feel ready and it's nice to see that other students have great organizational tips! I might write a post or 2 on the subject with the tips I've gathered also through my personal experiences and what I have mixed with other tips I have received. 

My time now is going to be a little more limited because of the pressure of all the classes and managing group meetings, CV meetings and all, but I will try my best to keep up with everything and will try my best to balance it all out. 

I hope you understand and that I love everything I do and sometimes have to prioritize on certain aspects, specially in my academic life. 

Lots of love for everyone!!
