As I approach dead week and finals week here at the lovely University of Kentucky, there are certain things that are fueling me, motivating me to finish this semester strong. I am stressed out more than I have ever been throughout all my college career and I am losing the motivation to even care about school at this point. I have been stressed out over minimal things that seem deceivingly important at the time, but from a long-term perspective, they really don't matter all that much. Perhaps there are more people out there in the world that feels the same that I do, in that case, I am not alone in this endless void.

This is a list of things that are keeping me motivated for the break coming up.

1. God! God is always my #1

God loves us so much and because He loves us so much, He deserves all of our praise and all our love.

1. My family! Mi familia!

Sometimes I get tired of them, but my family is by my side no matter what. They will be the ones cheering for me at my graduation and at my future wedding.

3. Good food!

This will be me during the break!

4. Good sleep!

This dude is tired! This semester has wore me out. College consumes a lot of my energy. I'm going to sleep in late all break and periodically take naps.

5. HARRY POTTER MARATHON!!!!!

I am going to have a Harry Potter marathon, because I like Harry Potter and I am still waiting on my Hogwarts acceptance letter.

6. Doing a little drinkin' !!!!

I usually have a little wine, a little Jack Pepper (bourbon and Dr. Pepper), maybe a little beer. There is nothing like chilling with a drink in your hand.

7. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

No lie, I have been wearing sweatpants every day since it got cold here in Lexington. I will continue to wear sweatpants worn until term resumes. Why? They are comfy as a baby's blanket.

Anyways, this is my list. I am sure everybody's lists are different and similar to mine, but press on! Break will be here before you know it!
