A little inspiration from Ryan Gosling...

It's that time of year! I've been saving this picture up just for the occasion :)
Projects, more projects, and some finals smushed in. It's about to get real cray cray around here, and I know a lot of my fellow classmates are going to be suffering, me right along with them. But lets try to keep this all in perspective, lets not panic (because then I start to panic). On the bright side:

1. It's the holiday season! Put up some lights (mine aren't coming down), light a candle, listen to some holiday music. Don't let finals/work ruin the most wonderful time of the year!!!

2. We who have assignments to freak out about are fortunate enough to actually be able to attend centers of higher education. Many people can't say that.

3. Each of these projects merely makes us a better future job candidate (at least that's what I keep telling myself when I get frustrated at how boring classes like Research Methods can be).

That's all I got for now. Read this, "18 Signs You're Doing Better Than You Think," for more inspiration (thank you to one of my sorority sisters for posting this on FB, now one of my new favorite websites!). Point is, I think that we get so caught up in the stress that comes with the end of the fall semester that we forget about how awesome this time of year is (Christmas lights/decorations make me so extremely happy-- it's the little things). So stop, bundle up and go for a walk, drink some coco because when you get stressed, I get stressed and that's the last thing I need right now.

This one's just for me :) via
