What's Bothering You?

It is coming up 4am. Feel sick whenever I lie down to attempt sleep. Construction work is taking place 7am-8pm tomorrow so won't be able to sleep during the day. Only got about 3-4hrs sleep last night too. And the night before. 😓
 
I’m fine with trying to help my friends and any people that need it whenever i’m available or if i have the chance, but sometimes it’s just too much if it’s a daily thing. It’s just everyone feeling negative day after day after day and i’m at the end of the line with advice and wisdom if the same things keep happening over and over
 
My college just issued out a message saying that they're going to do distance learning. They will allow a few students to live on campus - depending on their circumstances. I may or may not fill out a form to request living on campus.

I get why they're doing this, but it still sucks.
I'd push to try to live on campus. Learning online in a household of family members is a pain in the butt, especially when it comes to sitting exams! It's much more beneficial to live on campus with other students so you can study together, if social distancing permits that.

Yeah, I agree. I think it's unlikely that they'll allow group study sessions though (unless it's through video chat or something), because they seem to be quite strict on the precautions.

Anyways, I may say that living on campus would be the best option for me because I'll have better academic performance there. Think it applies to everyone in this case, but I'll add in about my certain situation to help out.
 
I hate it when people write off something you like when you’re “too old” for it. Is there something wrong with wanting a plush toy? I’m considering asking for one on my birthday and yet that kind of mindset might not make it possible. It’s not like I’ll take it out in public... And what’s even worse is the person saying it is older than me and happens to have plush toys as well. Hypocrites...

Def get a plushie, ESPECIALLY for your bday. My parents try to guilt me into not buying (more) stuff animals, but honestly when you have the stuffed animal with you everything they say goes in one ear and out the other. There have been times that I regret not getting a stuffed animal simply cause people will try to guilt me on my purchases. If you really want it then def ask for it, stuffed animals are great and have no age limit. Ftr I'm 21.
 
Well I just let my friend visit my town through dream suite only to find out my roommate left a very strongly worded message on her passport great.
 
"work from home" during fall, uh no thanks you want my mental health down even further lmfao corona is just **** okay

yeah also as I mentioned (or not depending on where you go on first), call them in person if they think you are vague or ****, so they really get to down. Honestly just make it single dorms... I honestly don't get why they want so many at home yet they don't consider other health things at all.
 
This is a very nice thread ♥

In all truth? I've been wondering many things that have been prominent within my ever going thoughts as of late, occupying my mind nonstop, but the most prominent of thoughts has been how recently in particular, is how life might be like from now on during this unfortunate worldwide crisis that we are all in and what the future may hold.

While I personally believe that things always happen for a reason and that their are zero coincidences in life, and that living in the now is very important as opposed to living in the future yet to come or the past that has already happened, I still do often find myself nostalgically reminiscing on the past seeing as how I personally took for granted not truly being able to enjoy the outside world as much as I should have by not going out enough with friends or family to experience what nature truly has to offer and not thouroughly enjoying the times for when I did. In all of my 27 years here being on Earth this far, never did I ever think that would I personally be experiencing such a pandemic to exist as I have only ever read about these in history books growing up as a child. By living in what one would may only describe as "history in the making" I could never wrap my mind around foreesing this happening ever.

In my eyes, back before this pandemic ever started, my mindset was always "Meh, I have my whole life to do this so why do it now?" It really makes you think about how short life really is as you never truly know when you will not ever be able to enjoy the things you once knew that you had the choice of doing so at any given time you could and that in itself, is a lesson that I (and perhaps for many other recluse souls as well) had to learn.

While I am super grateful for having to have been able to be quite more adventurous these past several years up until this point and that I was actually able get some last minute fun times in, and I know that there are many people in the world not having the ability to do so as in that regard, should just be thankful I am able to experience the joy of being able to freely walk this Earth, still, the mere thought of life just possibly having to be different from now still is a bit of a damper on my heart. Just knowing that it may be the norm like this for a while is still something I'm still coming to terms with.

While of course there is absolutely no gaurentee that it will be like this for a long time there is also a possibility however, that it may. The upside to this is seeing the Earth reach her glory again by having nature take it's course to rejuvenate what we humans had done to our beautiful blue planet. Knowing that the smog has been greatly reduced and the pollution is down by a huge margin (something that has not been like this for many, many, many years) as well as having the ozone layer a repair itself because of the lack of human stimulation, is something nothing short of a miracle and how wondorous mother nature is.

I believe as well that during this time, however unfortunate it may be, that it is also a time for going deep within the confines of our souls and learning about oneself and life in particular. To go over what we have done so far and to reflect heavily on what we may have been missing out on or what our behaviors may have been like in certain situations during our hectic everyday lives. To see the teachings within the lessons we may have otherwise not have seen before.

While some normalcy may have seemed to returned to our lives for the moment, the experience is anything but bittersweet. What I have learned throughout my life that I feel I can personally take with me is that all we can do now is to help lift up one another during these hard times and to help reconginze our blessings that we have as well as to celebrate those who are still in our lives currently too.

Life will not be easy, that is a given, but by focusing on what you can change and not what you can't and by applying all that you have learned, you can help make a better future for not only yourself, but to others as well who may be also walking a simar path and who may need to hear or read what you have to say to help them get through a rough spot. Spread your light so that those without one may be guided to see a better tomorrow. No matter how small your light may be in your eyes, it's still something bigger to somebody else whose without one.

Always strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be and so that by the end of your day, it's someone you can personally be proud of. Nobody is perfect as we all have our ups and downs, but one thing is for certain, all of your shortcomings that you find to be "imperfections" will always be considered "perfect" to somebody else out there. Don't ever give up, no matter how bleak a situation, just continue pressing forwards as there is always a light at the end of the tunnel ♥
