Off We Go...

Hey Bloggers!


So, this is the last and final blog, how upsetting :(. Blogging has been fun and I have expressed my feelings towards school, being in a relationship, and the bizarre ideas that may come into my head as I am blogging. I hope not to leave this blog stranded in the dark, but I hope to come back to my blog and update it as much as I can. It feels good to vent once in a while and maybe that is why I should keep this blog steady.

I have been on that emotional roller coaster as I stated in my first few blogs, and I am a stressor when it comes to school, but one thing about me is that I enjoy writing for many reasons. I like to entertain my audience and I like to express my thoughts both on paper and on the web. I have learned a lot about myself both the negatives as well as the positives about who I am as a writer, a student, and a human being.

Even though I write these blogs to give advice to my audience, I also take my own advice when nothing else works. I took my own advice when my own relationship was on the edge of a breakdown and I took my own advice when I was becoming so overwhelmed with school that I couldn’t sleep at night. Sometimes, we just need to listen to ourselves and it takes some time to vent to really understand that.

Going back to my first blog, I mentioned that it is important to keep communication open even if you are overwhelmed with school and or the relationship status. Well, it is hard to keep the communication path open when one of you works 40+ hours a week and the other one works only 20+ hours a week and goes to school full time. Handling this situation isn’t as easy as it seems and no one can really tell you what works best for you. Even my own advice in this situation isn’t helping. All I can do is focus on what is important to me which is currently school. If a relationship just doesn’t fit into your schedule right now, then either make it a priority to make it work or take a break and come back to it when you are ready both physically and mentally.

Although communication isn’t always the key for me, scheduling everything does work wonders. It makes me feel organized and successful. I schedule everything from top to bottom and from day to day. That is surely a stress reliever of its own. I was one to speak when I said don’t sweat the small stuff, just to look at the big picture, because this is not an easy task to achieve which of course depends on the person. For example, I tend to blow everything out of proportion at times and that is alright, but that is just a quality that makes me who I am. With that being said, I know how to control myself and I will try and keep my emotions as balanced as possibly. Over the course of the semester this has been hard and I am slowly taking my own advice.

We aren’t all perfect and we all have our own flaws, but we can learn a lot from ourselves. I hope that some of you may use my advice for a tool when your emotions have gone crazy or I hope that some of you use my blog as a form of entertainment, either way it was fun and I benefited from my own blog. This semester has been fun and to an extent, long. I wish you all a happy holiday; be safe and good luck in your future studies at Kean or wherever else you decide to go. Goodbye for now and hope for the best of  grades and great presents too!  

Sincerely yours,
