Hello Busy Bee,

You’re probably crunching on time right now to even take a second to read this, so I am going to get right into it. You’re doing great! Look at how much you’ve accomplished so far! Don’t let stress get you down. You’re capable of doing such great things! I know it’s nerve wrecking when you have a schedule from the moment your alarm clock wakes you to the moment you go to bed but stay positive. Just think of the future. Think about how every organization, internship and class is going to help you in achieving your goals. Think about all of the doors you are opening. Think of all of the friends you are making. Just take a moment to really think about everything you are doing and how it will all pay off.

I know there are days that staying in bed to hibernate sounds like the better choice and that’s completely okay to want to do that. Your stress levels may be through the roof, but take a deep breath. It’s all going to work out in the end. Being a busy bee can be great at times, but also ridiculously stressful. You want to be involved in as many extracurricular activities as you can and take a full course load of classes. You want to work so you can have money and you also want to have a social life. It’s hard being busy. Some people say you have too much on your plate, but you’re too stubborn to admit it. It’s okay, some of us other busy bees understand.

There are just a couple of things I want to make sure you remember before I say farewell. Remember to take breaks. Taking at least thirty minutes out of your day to relax is definitely needed. Whether you spend that time doing yoga, meditating, hanging out with some of your friends or even binge watching your favorite show on Netflix, take a break and enjoy it. Don’t stress about what you have to do after your little break. This is your time to fully forget about what’s due for your online class or what meeting you have to go to. It’s all about you and unwinding for a bit.

Remember that it is okay to not be able to do everything you want to. You aren’t a superhero that can be in ten different places at once, even though you may wish you could. You can complete anything that is on your “to-do” list. You are a smart, talented, amazing person. You have a good head on your shoulders. Don’t let anything get in your way, and don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise. You can do anything your little heart desires as long as you put your all into it. I believe you can do it - better yet, I know you can do it. So get out there busy bee, the world is waiting for you!
