Worrisome, sadness, and general self-pity have basically been consuming my life for the past week to the point where I told myself that I wasn't going to enjoy this weekend at all and would just mope about things. I also was refusing to step outside of my comfort zone in any way at all. I was completely ok with just confining myself to my dorm room and focusing on a Rhetoric paper that I wasn't going to make any progress on anyway.
And then Saturday morning came and... I let that stuff go. I had a great time at the football game. I went out with my parents and appreciated their company, even though they still constantly bicker (I even found myself missing that). I went out with friends that night and did some pretty crazy stuff that I don't regret at all. I woke up early in the morning and threw in laundry, and then relaxed the rest of the morning instead of stressing over this stupid paper. I went to the basketball game and relaxed and watched the game and played my sousaphone. And now I'm eating pizza rolls because pizza rolls are awesome.
I've come to the realization that I have four short years in college (assuming my current plan doesn't change), and I don't want to take one moment of that for granted. I can make smart decisions, manage my time, and still have fun.
I can't believe it took me over 11 weeks to figure that out...
(And you guys thought this post was going to be about Frozen, right? Haha)
