Senioritis

We are at that point in the semester where we would normally be going on spring break and the senioritis is starting to sink in. It's the point where I am starting to burn out and I know a lot of other seniors are as well. I have been trying to come up with ways to keep the stress levels down and the motivation up in order to finish out the semester strong. There are a few things I have been doing.

The first things I have done is continue to focus on working out and going even when I don't necessarily feel like it. Working out helps a lot with stress and on the days that I am tired and sore and just want to lay in bed, I make sure I at least go an do some cardio and ab workouts. Another thing I have done is yoga. I have been trying to stretch and meditate at night before bed to calm myself and relax before going to sleep. That has helped a lot with being able to sleep and not having my mind running a million miles a minute thinking about everything I have to do. Finally, since it has gotten so nice out, I have been walking around campus. Last night I took a late night walk while listening to some music and it was so nice! Between the weather and the music and how quiet campus was it was a fantastic way to to end my night.

I have tried to sprinkle in some rewards and things that are fun outside of school to reset every week. I know others are probably at the point in the semester where they are counting down the days till graduation or just the end of the school year, so I was wondering what everyone else is doing to keep up the motivation?

    I totally agree with this! As a senior, it has definitely been a struggle to stay motivated. But I definitely think the tips you gave on working out and mediating are very useful. - Marisa

Changing My Mindset

      A lot has happened in the past year. At a glance, I might be compelled to rattle off all the terrible things that have happened in my life, in my family and friends lives, in the country, and even the world. That is all I have focused on. While some of those things might be a topic of a blog post in the future, that doesn't mean I am back tracking and going back to a negative mindset. I think writing about it is a great way to put your thoughts on paper, figure out how you truly feel, and then try and think of the good that came from it.      There have been so many great things that have happened this year like starting my senior year of college, hitting the one year mark with my amazing boyfriend, getting to spend more time with my family, learning to cook amazing food, and focusing on exercise. Those are all incredible things! While some of that may seem small, I choose to make it big in my mind. I want to relish in it and be grateful for wha...

Speaking with a Hollywood Producer

     Last night I had the pleasure of being invited to a zoom meeting with Big Brother producer Don Wollman. Wow, it was an incredible experience hearing about his life and getting advice from someone so successful. We started out the night meeting in the GCC with Chris Marsh, an amazing COM professor. After that we all split up into different rooms so we wouldn't have to be masked and hopped on zoom. Within a few minute, Mr. Wollman hopped on the zoom call live from Los Angeles. We were all so excited!     We were informed before the meeting we would be asked "why are you here?" True to that, it was the first thing Mr. Wollman asked the group of 10. That question can be answered in so many ways. I was there because I am passionate about the industry and would love to learn about what it is like from someone who has been in the deep end for so many years. I was also hoping to learn a bit about the process of shooting Big Brother. I was able to ask a questio...

Relaxation and Flexibility

       Hello everyone! It's only Wednesday and it has already been a week. I really needed that snow day yesterday for a bit of a break but I could use about 10 more of those at this point. Yesterday as I was finishing my workout I was thinking about what I should write about this week. I realized that I'd like to share the thing that I have been doing at the end of my workouts and what I plan on doing a lot more throughout my day to calm down, get some peace, and relax.      I used to be a gymnastic so I hold myself to way to high of a standard when it comes to fitness. I have lost a lot of flexibility since I retired from the sport and I have decided I want to gain that and some skills back this year. I went searching online for a new stretching routine to follow. I have one from my old practices but I wanted to switch it up a bit. I stumbled across a Youtuber named Mady Morrison. She makes videos on yoga, fitness, and lifestyle. I watched a few...
