Sometimes I wish someone would ask me this. College is hard and busy. Yet, when I do have some time to breathe (like right now because it's Easter break), I'm reminded that I've stopped doing a lot of things I loved to do. I posted a status some time ago sharing how I had surpassed 13k pins on Pintrest, to which my father said "try a new hobby, like photography". While blogging may be considered one way to express myself, I does not feel the same as art or photography.
Lessons I'm Learning as a Junior:
- Make Time for Yourself:
This may mean something different for everyone. Personally, I take afternoon naps like its my religion. But either way, reserving some part of the day for me time - stress free - is something I value highly. On a better day I stop scrolling the twitter feed and open up a novel (I'm re-reading A Farewell to Arms).
2. Embrace Your Artistic Side:
Last year, I realized I had stopped listening to music while at college. Why? I honestly do not know. But I'm struggling to bring it back in. It does not help that I lost my Ipod (I have not told my parents yet, sorry if you read this). Goal, rediscover music.
I also stopped drawing. Goal, get my hands dirty!
3. GET OUTSIDE:
There is nothing I find myself enjoying more than spring weather. I make my boyfriend walk around the library with me, just for the sake of fresh air. Additionally, chances of encountering a puppy greatly increase while outside on a nice day!
How do you compromise your personal life (hobbies, love life, whatever) with school?
I'll take whatever tips I can get!
