Lately, I have been avoiding work. I find myself trying to spend my day relaxing, watching a movie, eating, or preferably sleeping. Now, I don't quite know the financial situation of other students on campus, but I pay my way through school entirely on my own. Yes everyone, this is true. I pay for my: tuition, car payments, books, care insurance, cell phone bill, credit card bills, and I even help my parents with some medical expenses every month as well. I do all this, with one job that I go to maybe three or four times a week.
I'm a server at the Cheesecake Factory and aside from the occasion stress that goes hand in hand with the service industry, I really like my job. I work with fun people who have become my close friends. I make great tips at the end of each night. And I could say, I am pretty darn good at what I do. Now why do I find myself hiding from work and regularly giving all my shifts away?
It's this hectic school schedule I have that is tearing me down and making me just want to crawl into bed and rest all day long. I spend long hours studying, working, filling out papers, etc. It is all very time consuming as well as energy consuming too.
I'm so busy I don't even have time to go to the mall and spend my hundred dollar gift card I received for my birthday three months ago! The old me would've spent every penny on the card within the first weekend. Does this mean I am a shell of my old self, no energy left to do what I loved most, shopping?
Thankfully the semester is almost over and I only have a few more weeks to endure. Procrastination is my enemy and I'm fearful it will overtake me toward the end of the semester. Perhaps writing my individual blog post here will force me to realize I can still change my procrastinating ways before it's too late. Maybe here i can make a pact with myself to avoid those all night cramming sessions college students love so dearly.
Either way, my individual blog post has turned into more of an individual rant about school and homework. Hopefully this still wins me credit as this was the only topic on my mind at the time. All I could think of while I was writing this post was how much school "sucked," at least at this very moment in time. School can really take its toll on a young girl's social life, and apparently, her mind too!

Yeah, procrastination's a problem for me too. As you can tell, it's taken me a while to get around to grading your blog posts.
But there's light at the end of the tunnel: Just three more weeks of classes!
Sure, I'll give you credit for this: 10/10
