December 1st: How the Hell is it 66 Degrees and Warm?

My question for the universe: Why was it colder in October than it is now? For the last two days, the weather‘s been in the high 60s and 70s. I’m not complaining but it’s really unusual for this time of year. It kinda symbolizes a changing if I have any opinion on it.

I had the last classes before finals that finished today. I won’t see most of the teachers again. I feel like I had a really good selection of instructors this first semester. Some were wacky, others a tad unbearable, but at least it’s coming to a close.

It has been both the shortest and longest period of time in my life so far. I feel like I’ve learned everything and nothing at all. At least I know how to take care of myself, for the most part. Getting hydrated, exercised and stay well nourished is a bigger deal than everyone told me it would be. Self-care is essential and so necessary. Not only for college students, but everyone. It was actually an event today: self-care. They had free hot drinks, face masks and coloring sheets. I’m glad my college recognizes that it’s finals week and students are edging on burnout. We‘re so close but there’s still a few days left. Papers and projects to present, complete and turn in. If you’re not careful, you could end up swamped in work and end up distraught and miserable in a mess.

We don’t need that. The holidays are coming up, so screw seasonal depression. I have a cinnamon hot chai tea and I’m ready to take anything on.

I made the conscious choice to write outside when I was walking back to my dorm. It's my last few days of my first semester and I wanted to enjoy the last few snippets of sunshine before the cold really sets in for the season.

Make a conscious choice for yourself. Manifest some good feelings. Pay some god complex music (I have a playlist if y'all want it).
