Checking In On Resolutions

How far have I come since January 1?

Checking In On Resolutions

In honor of the New Year, I had posted a resolution of 10 things I wanted to accomplish by 2018. With junior year of college wrapped up I figured now would be a good time to check in and see where I'm at now.

1. Read Through The Entire Bible.

Currently I am still plodding along through the Old Testament. I have just made it to Zephaniah. Only four books left in the Old Testament and then I'll be on to the New Testament. Oh wait.. I have to go back to the Psalms. I have 'til December 31. I got this. I'm also learning a lot which is the real point of reading the Bible, to learn more and more each time.

2. Develop Myself Professionally

Hey this one is going well! I have secured an internship in the fall and I will also be working for this agency. Whaddup, I'm doing good things. I also have an internship in a Children's Ministry this summer. Hello professional occupations!

3. Establish A Deeper Relationship With God

Quack... um maybe? This has definitely been one of the most challenging semesters so far. Between difficult classes and things with friends, this semester has been strenuous. I don't know if I've relied on God as much as I could have or should have. I kept trying though. I kept trying to read and pray and trust. That alone gets it's own credit. I'll never be perfect; always trying though.

4. Love Better

Well.... not really sadly. I struggled very much this semester in learning to love other people and to act with kindness. There were wins and there were losses.

5. Develop A Sense Of Rhythm

It's just never going to happen and one day I will accept this.

6. I'm Going to Write At Least Three Times A Week

Ha. Well... hopefully this summer.

7. Love Myself More

I'm not a potato. I am a pretty fine french fry though.

8. Get Healthy

Sort of. Definitely a stress eater, but I have summer plans for less stress, and a gym buddy!

9. Continue My All A Streak

Jury is still out on this one... hello POL 352, you may have ruined me.

10. Trust God More

I think so. Definitely some curveballs have come where I've been given no choice but to believe in his will for me and my friends. It's not perfect, but I do think it's improving.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
