I chose the word relax because I need to learn to let things go and quit worrying about that which I cannot control. This year I will be ending my junior year of high school and beginning my senior year. I feel constantly pressured about homework and project deadlines as well as trying to decide what college I would like to attend. As I think back on years passed, I realize just how much time I have spent worrying about something that I really could not do anything about.
My personality ensures that I rarely miss school or do anything wrong. On the other hand though, it causes me to lost much needed sleep over my next oral communication speech or pre-calc. homework that I forgot to do. This year I would like to concentrate on relaxing and realizing that one missed assaignment is not going to kill me. I believe that this would eventually help with my overall grades and goals because I would not be failing to accomplish even more due to lack of sleep over one grade.
Additionally, I am beginning to realize that, though school is an important part of life, it is not everything. There are more important things in life than grades and college. Spending time with my family and friends, whether just hanging out and watching a movie or going out and doing something, is just as important. This year I am going to stop all of my pointless worrying.
Sit back...Relax...and enjoy life.
I believe that the word relax fits you for the up coming year and believe that i herd you just got a horse and that should help you relax is sure helps me when i get stresst out I challinge you to talk to your horse and tell it your problems, worys, ecc. people might thank your crazy but it works and i promiss you the horse wont tell any body haha at least mine don't and if it does than you will be rich and that could be the best of both worlds
ReplyDeleteI have been the same way about stressing out about school. I feel like I have no time and want to just forego homework altogether. But, like you said, we are almost seniors..and school/grades are more important now than ever before. I'm am also going to try and be more relaxed about things this year also.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely right. I always talk to my animals, even if they don't understand a word that I say. It does help me relax to talk to someone(or something) that I know will never judge me. It just makes sense to me, and sometimes they seem to understand more than people do. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who talks to their animals!
ReplyDeleteAnna, I know what you mean. Most of the time I would just like to forget that school even exists. Sometimes, especially now that we are juniors, we get so much work and even senior stuff that it feels that there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that is required, let alone do something that we like to do. I truly hope that you accomplish your goal of becoming more relaxed.
