This break has flown by! Every year I always make these
extravagant plans of getting so much work done and every year, I get
sidetracked and it doesn’t happen. I wish I could be like some of my friends
who can plan their week and actually stick to it! Alas, I just have to make do
with my extravagant planning self. This week wasn’t a total bust, I did finish
my event hours for ambassadors this weekend, showing prospective students why I
love Rockhurst so much made up for the lack of things crossed off of my to do
list. I did enjoy being able to wake up on my own time schedule and the break
from classes, and the demands of majority of my time commitments. Another good
thing that came out of my fall break was a realization that I don’t sit and
smell the roses. Usually, I rush past them, note their coloring and then think
of the twenty million things that I have yet to start and needed completed
yesterday. Therefore, I made a pact with myself this week that I need to start
making time to sit and smell the roses or read a book. This is my senior year,
and I want to look back on the good time as well as the times that I just sat
down and wasted two hours lost in conversation. Honestly, I would rather have
things like that filling my memories of Rockhurst than of the sleepless nights
I spent doing homework or studying for a test. I wish I had made this
realization sooner, so I hope some of you can learn for me. Take time to smell
the roses in the time that you have free from doing homework. The life of a
college student can be busy but it also should be fun. Balance is the key word
to a great college life. Never, putting too much of one thing on your plate so
that you can always keep the balance that will keep you sane!
