Why I Didn't Want To Write An Article This Week

Sometimes, I simply don't want to do the things I know I should.

Why I Didn't Want To Write An Article This Week
Mamas Health

Don't get me wrong, I love writing, but sometimes my brain just won't let me do it. Yesterday, my computer wouldn't cooperate, and this morning, I'm void of all creativity. I'm exhausted. I work nonstop with an inconsistent schedule, and I just moved into a new apartment.

I have been unpacking boxes for the past few days while also trying to make the apartment cute. I'm trying to make it clean enough to not be complained to while also getting the things I actually need to get done accomplished.

My one year anniversary is coming up. (By the time this posts it will have already happened.) I have to get a cute outfit and get my nails, hair, and eyebrows done. I also have to buy more things for this apartment because it seems that no matter how much I have, it's never enough, regardless of if it is by my standards.

You probably don't care. I don't blame you.

Why even submit an article then? Well, if you must know, my life is a never ending cycle of unexpected and usually annoying events occurring, so I feel that at this point, I should be more than able to at least write something, no matter how hectic my week has been.

There are things we feel we must accomplish in a week to have had a productive one, and this is one of mine. If I can keep my apartment clean, get to work on time, and write an article, I feel as if my week has been at least what it should be, regardless of how easy all of those things may seem to accomplish.

Look, I'm probably boring you right now, so maybe I should throw out a moral of some sort so that you at least find some purpose in reading this piece of garbage. Life kind of sucks, in case you haven't noticed yet; however, it's also kind of awesome.

I have a brand new apartment that is eons better than the last one, but moving into it is more of a pain than I wish it were. I have a job that pays me well for the small amount of things I have to do, but sometimes I just don't want to get up to go to it. I have the amazing opportunity to write articles that some people actually care to read, but weeks like these, I lack the creative energy to get anything worth reading down.

I guess the point here is, don't get yourself down if you feel like you should be able to do the amount of things on your to-do list but you simply can't. I can't always do it either, and everyone else is the same way, no matter how they may portray themselves.

Don't get yourself down. Either don't do it, or simply half-ass it, like I'm doing right now.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
