In the midst of my scrambling to complete an essay that is due tomorrow, I remembered I actually have a blog here. It's hard to remember simple things when you're so driven to accomplish something else. And then I mentally slapped myself.
I have been preaching the qualities of a good student to everyone this entire semester... And there I was/still am PROCRASTINATING. Gosh, I'm such a hypocrite. We're not all perfect, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Anyways, I want to keep this post short because I've covered everything I said I would in the weeks prior to this one. But I still want to end with a bang... And by bang I mean I'm about to get really emotional.
Like I had said during my presentation in class, I have been through a crap ton of stuff. I went to school on a volleyball scholarship, got sick because I couldn't handle the stress and take care of myself, and now I'm back here trying to be a normal student again. It's rough. But this blog has saved me countless times. When everything seems to get too overwhelming, too big, I think of this blog and how I have smushed many student problems into tiny posts. School doesn't have to be this intimidating, complex thing. Nope. If you can look at it and apply little tiny fixes for dilemmas here and there, it is manageable. And that's what I have needed while getting back on my feet.
Without this blog, I don't think I would have survived returning to school. I have been so worked up since my "dark times" in Tennessee that I have literally made myself sick thinking about going through anything like that again! But ....here I am!
So basically, I just wanted to say thank you guys for putting up with me through these blog posts. And if you've taken away any advice from the posts, had a few laughs along the way, or just connected with anything I've written then that is freakin' awesome!! I've tried to be as entertaining as possible while simultaneously sounding like I know what I am talking about, so hopefully I have accomplished just that!
Although I have enjoyed my time with this blog, I have made the decision to discontinue it after this class. It has done exactly what I needed it to do: it helped me mend the relationship I have with school. Oh, and it also filled a requirement for a class, but that's whatever... HA HA just kidding. :)
Anyways, I guess it's that time again. You know... The goodbye part. The only way I know how to express myself right now is through Nine. It's corny, but it's only fitting that I use a fandom reference to close out my final post.
and you know what?
Thank you for helping me find myself again.
As always, it's been real. Signing off from BeingStudents101 one last time,
