In the Slump

Guys, School has started and while I am now motivated to do things (one of them is to succeed in school) the days are no longer, and nights no shorter than they have been for the past 3 months of summer.

So the problem is this: how do I excel social life, academia, and the personal goals I have taken on myself; all while getting sleep and taking care of my body. This gets tougher as I also realize that while academia may look more important to the third from the outside looking in, I owe it to myself to succeed in the promises I made myself first.

How can I expect others to trust and therefore respect me, if I cant trust and therefore respect myself?

When a few things go wrong and the scales seem to be tipping towards the favor of chaos one things must be said: Do not give up! When England looked like it would be the next country to fall during world war II Winston Churchill said a few famous words that have stuck with me for a long time.

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Life is not one battle. Failure is not a person its a circumstance.

Well that needed to be said. So whilst fighting to be on top of everything I have had a hard time completing a blog post every week, it’s doable so I’m not going to give up. But the slump is a creative one, I’m having a hard time coming up with things that I find interesting to write about and topics I believe yall will find helpful.

So in an order to become more creative I will do the following, and if you want to do the same you can follow this list and let me know how it goes 🙂 (or give me some of your own tips, an email I check is eharris149@gmail.com).

1.Reading every day of any sort (does not include reading for academic purposes).

I think this will help me to get new views on things I know about, and also learn any views on things I don’t know about. Some books have stuck around for a long time and for some reason probably, I’d like to find out why.

2. Put myself outside of my comfort zone at least once day.

This could mean asking out a girl who is way out of my league (never the case) or asking for a recipe from your favorite restaurant. The point here is to try and ask for things you would think are automatic “no’s” but you just might get surprised; life has a way of doing that to you :).

3.Be consistant

Now this is the toughest one. No matter if I feel like it or not, I will go to the gym, do my homework, not tell the person off who just cut me off on highway, be dilligant in my studies, and write something at least for my blog every week 🙂

have a dope week :~D
