Here we go again. Another blog about my favorite topic, schedules! A few weeks ago I gave you guys a brief rundown of what a day in my life looks like. Kind of jam-packed, right? After thinking about my daily routine more, I realized that I don’t schedule that much free time for myself. I have had a weekly schedule made since the start of the school year. When I went back to look at it, I was surprised to see that I never gave myself a break. But, I changed that quickly.

I Do the Same Thing Every Morning, And You Should, Too!
You just got done singing front row at a Luke Bryan concert. All night you were trying to catch his attention by screaming his name, wailing your arms around, and holding up a classic sign that read “I <3 You Luke!” You did something right because the guards came up to you after the concert saying you were requested to go backstage to meet Luke. Just as you step through the thick black curtains that divided this star from the rest of the world – your alarm goes off!

When you’re tired, do you drink coffee or take a nap? Here is a new idea for you: Coffee Naps. While I was researching topics to talk about for this blog, I came across this intriguing title.

What is the last thing you do before you go to bed? I found myself scrolling through social media for half an hour, at a minimum. Then, right before I’d close my eyes, my mind would go wild. I reflect on the day, look at the past, and think of all the “what ifs” in life. All these thoughts just ate at me, costing me my beauty sleep.

When is the last time you saw your best friend from high school? Or simply reached out to them? Losing touch with your classmate after going away to college can seem inevitable, but does it have to be? I remember crying during graduation because I knew that was going to be the last time I saw some of my closest friends. Everyone who graduated before me made it seem like we were never going to see each other again. We go away to college and get caught up in everything new, leaving all the old stuff behind. Priorities change whether we want them to or not. When I came to college I tried hard to make sure I kept in touch with my friends from home but eventually, the fire died and we drifted apart.
