One of my favorite professors at UCSD, Traci, would always tell us to take it easy and enjoy life outside of school. Of course I couldn't take her advice while taking four classes, being in an acapella group, working part time, and interning 2-3 times a week, but I did finally get to do that the last two weeks!
All this relaxing has really put things into perspective...
In my quest to graduate cum laude I've realized that grades are just grades and not getting an A in every class is not the end of the world. In my freakout over grad school applications, I've realized that while getting accepted would be phenomenal, being rejected doesn't mean my life is over - It just means I need to set a different course for myself for a little while longer. While stressing over my very uncertain future, I've learned to just enjoy life and the best thing I can do is make my 'todays' as best as possible.
These two weeks have been somewhat therapeutic and I've come out rejuvenated and ready tackle these grad school applications. Starting....tomorrow!
p.s. I started running again today and it felt great! I definitely needed to work off all that food I ate the last two weeks.
