I am that person who loves having plans. I love knowing exactly what will be happening in my life for the next month ahead, because as long as I am busy and using my time wisely—I am happy. I often find that with college, this ability somehow diminishes and I do not always know what life has in store for me
As every semester hands me an even busier schedule, this often brings more uncertainty on the path I am on, as there is simply no time to make any set plans. As these plans are what I often strive for, life sometimes feels very discombobulated, and lately, it has been feeling like this more-so than usual.
There is about a month of classes left of the fall semester, which is absolutely crazy to process as I feel like school just started. As I got off the plane from Japan at the end of this past summer, I was quickly back in school, traveling back and forth to NYC for fashion shows, and the Macy's Day Parade is almost here.
Aside from these events, I have not had much time to set any other plans, so aside from these few things that have been set into my schedule, I've just had to let life do its thing.
When life continues on its crazy path of providing me with a very busy schedule, I just have to learn to accept that life has its plan. Often times, I continuously fall into the pattern of putting a deadline on very, very large accomplishments that I think are somehow achievable within a months time.
Yes, I would absolutely love for these things to happen, but when they don't work out, being able to accept the fact that it simply was not in my life's plan for this time is what I need to remember to do.
Rather than being discouraged on not being able to accomplish everything I want to at the time, or not being able to attend every event that my busy schedule does not allow me to go to, I need to learn to accept the fact that I am doing the best I can. And that is how I am learning to find peace in life's plan.
It's a journey—but I am definitely learning along the way.
