Some Days You Just Are Not Feeling It

"Bless up or mess up?"

Some Days You Just Are Not Feeling It
Avery Felty

“Some days, I can conquer the world, other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower.” – Avian King.

Trust me, we all have those days where we are, “on fleek, on point or blessed up.” But, we also have those days where we are, “aren’t slaying, our eyeliner is off or we forget to pray to be blessed.” There will be moments where we have everything under control and other moments where we lose it a little bit and forget how to keep it all together. The most important thing to remember is that, it is okay. It is okay to not always be everything you are supposed to be. It is okay to lay in your bed all day watching Law & Order or watching Grey’s Anatomy on repeat on Netflix. It is okay that one day you have all your homework finished three days before the due date and the next be sitting in class listening to the teacher explain their expectations for a project due the night before, which you forgot about.

Have you ever heard someone ever say, “It is all about balance?” I certainly have, but mainly because I follow fitness accounts that uses, “It is all about balance,” as their mantra or motto or whatever they use to give us the impression that they are always in control of their lives and that they can handle everything life has thrown at them. It is not true. When balance comes into play, it only means that even if you have had a bad day or a couple weeks of bad days, you can always get back on track by pushing yourself to do better and to be better. To start where you left off.

“When a girl is working out and she puts her hair into an obscene pineapple at the top of her head, you know it is about to go down.” –Anon.

Most days this is most girls, being ambitious and going after what they want whether it be in the gym, the library or just doing something they love to do. These are the moments where we should push ourselves and better ourselves in our bodies, studies and passions. Luckily, some of our passions come together in our studies and our bodies. When you see someone going after what they, do not stop them or even try to stop them. Let them be and let yourself do the job and get the work done. These are the days where you eat intuitively, get up early, attack the day and go to sleep with a smile on your face.

“Work. Pray. Slay.” – Anon.

Most days this is most girls, other days we just do NOT want to work, pray or slay. We just want to sit on the couch eating a bag of potato chips or anything someone puts in front of us. It is that simple. It is about the balance and having those days where the only time you move is from one side of your bed to the couch carrying your laptop. This is okay and even healthy to have ways to recharge before going back to that obscene pineapple shaped bun going after our passions.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
