- This: Fall has finally arrived at my doorstep.
- That: It feels a little silly sometimes, but I write notes to myself during class and when I'm studying to encourage me to keep going. Does anyone else do this? I'm always surprised how much it helps. :)
So this morning I put in my contacts, did all of my makeup, and then for no reason at all I took out my contacts and started washing my face like I was getting ready for bed. Oh boy...
...The "What day is it? What time is it? Where am I?" point in the semester has arrived.
How is everyone else doing? If you are equally stressed out, I'm sending happy thoughts your way.
Hehe, wouldn't it be nice if you really could just go back to bed after accidentally getting ready for bed?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I mostly just doodle big swirls and loops all over my sheet of paper...
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts! I draw and leave myself little comments all the time. Sending good thoughts to you as well!
ReplyDeleteActually, I make a lot of notes and lists and to-do list but haven't made any notes of encouragement to myself. I really love that idea! Who knows better then yourself on how to get motivated. Thanks for a sweet reminder on 'being good to ourselves'.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, if you can't go back to bed...find time for a nap. (It's what gets me out of bed somedays, ha!)
Happy Fall,

What you say makes a lot of sense. I had a similar experience last night while studying for a test and simultaneously writing a paper--both for the same class. Make sure you're getting enough sleep at some point :)
ReplyDeleteI doodle on my page like crazy. I always have. Your shoes are amazing by the way :)
ReplyDeleteI love these photos :) How awesome to have some sweet photos to look back on to remember your college years. I mean, I guess a lot of people have lots of photos of them in college but... they're... not really the kinds of photos that make you proud of your time.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I wrote "This too shall pass" on my regular desk in my PE class my first year of college. I figured the person coming into class after me, having to keep awake through learning about target heart rates and whatnot, would appreciate the reminder too :)
haha funny about washing your face! I just found your blog and it's great :) new follower

I'm definately feeling what you're feeling- I'm also a senior at college and sell on etsy as well, so I guess I feel how overwhelmed you are too!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get myself to go to the gym to keep my stress levels at a minimum. :)

I have those Toms! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I tend to write the lyrics to whatever song is stuck in my head. And ya super stressed!! I feel ya, it's almost over; we can do it!!
ReplyDeleteIm really stressed out too): and I just bought a glass marker and I wrote in every mirror of the house messages to encourage me to continue with my school work and everything, and as pathetic as it may sound it really works!(:
ReplyDeleteI hope you the best and keep going! You really can do everything!

I'm sure you can do it and when you look back you will be really proud! I like your "This and That" Posts! Have a nice weekend...
ReplyDeleteFeeling similar I think! Coursework deadlines looming is never much fun. I like that you are managing to continue blogging though - I've been slipping behind. Would it be OK to borrow something similar your 'this & that' concept?
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling :) Beki
i really love your shoes!

Just saying Hi-I'm a new reader.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do the same thing with encouraging notes, usually around the exam-time (which is in January for me).
PS

Good luck with everything. Glad to hear autumn has graced you with its presence. My favorite season!
ReplyDeleteLove those shoes! And, yes, I totally write notes and doodles to myself. If it's a particularly stressful meeting, they're more humorous.
ReplyDeletehave some happy thoughts from me :) enjoy the autumn leaves! x x x
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I've had days like that too! Sometimes I put the cereal in the fridge or the remote in the freezer. But, it's always funny to look back and laugh.
ReplyDeleteI have those same TOMS. Ugh, they are SO comfortable! Love 'em. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Meredith! I write little inspirational doodles on post it notes and all over my sketchbooks to get me through the rough days. It's amazing how much it helps right?
ReplyDeleteI love your handwriting! Its so curly and sweet!
