Woooooooahhhhhh it’s been quite a whileeeeee since I’ve posted…. The last time was during winter break- yikessss and I’ve already returned to college for almost 2 full months…
But I’m glad to pick it up again (though I am an spring break hehe)
Thank goodness we do have a spring break; I think I really really needed it.
Honestly speaking, it’s been kind of a rough second semester so far. And after thinking about it for a little bit now, I’ve definitely been able to point out all the different aspects that made it especially difficult and I’m hoping that during this break, not only will it be super restful, catching up on sleep, spending time for myself, and finishing some work due right when I get back, but I can forgive and grow from my experiences. And of course have a good time relaxing and chilling :)) I think I need that the most.
I definitely didn’t realize how much time some of the classes that I’m in would take up. This is both being in a classroom and recitation as well as outside simply finishing homework and studying for exams. On top of that, but just living and this independence of figuring out your own meals, when you’re going to do laundry, just small chores takes up a lot of time. And of course, college is about building life-long relationships, friendships, and figuring out yourself. But I realized that I wasn’t spending enough time with myself. And when I finally realized, everything basically clicked into place.
I tried allotting time for myself at night to unwind before bed and in the morning all by myself (though it was proven a lil difficult especially while living with someone, but she’s super lovely so I’ve figured how to work it out most effectively for the both of us). Honestly most days, it’s just sitting there and mindlessly letting my thoughts wander without much of a set focus or just daydreaming, or falling asleep LOL but it’s changed my mindset and mentality. It’s taught me how valuable it is for me to have a single (shoutout to Joyce hehe thanks for making me realize this too early on before it was too lateee).
But as I’m quarantined at home hehehe just chilling, relaxing, resting, it hit me how I’ve been living by the hour, waiting for the night to come to sleep and then repeating it all over again. I needed a break to recharge, change my mindset, my oops bad habits, and be evermore grateful for who I am, the life that God gave me, and all those who are specifically placed in my life. I think March 2020 is going to be a turning point for me :)) and I’m going to try my very best to make sure that it is :))
Being home and seeing just so much to eat at every meal but just whenever I go downstairs is actually so amazing AHHA. Instead of an empty fridge (lolllll college life ya know), my family just blesses me with constant food to make sure that I get my nutrients and stay healthy :) Something that I’ve tremendously missed and keep reminding my brother to appreciate this luxury. But wow, it’s so nice to sit down without much to stress over and just be content with where God has brought me right now in this very moment. Hello spring break and hello March <3
For we live by faith, not by sight.

Proverbs 4:25-26
Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
Just a wonderful reminder to keep our eyes fixed on the one who gave us this beautiful life. Lord, help me to turn my eyes upon you for the rest of my days :))
