Finding the Pieces

It’s been a long week. But today is Monday, the start of a new week. In the midst of midterm deadlines, stress in more areas of my life than I would like to admit, and the beginning of a cold, I can honestly say the last thing I wanted to do today was write a blog post. 

But I’ve made a goal to write something at least once a week. So here is my update. I’m tired, and I know a lot of my friends, both at Essex and elsewhere, are feeling the weight of life right now too. 

So this post is for all who are tired and ready for an eternal break from adulthood. Have faith, be kind to yourself, and try to remember what this all is for. Try to find joy in the simple, even if that happens to be a much needed cup of coffee or a good night’s rest. Listen to music. Talk with a friend. Get lost in something you love. Just keep breathing, and have hope that tomorrow will be kinder.
