Do Not Me Judge Before You Judge Yourself First

     This week has been an all time low( and I do not mean the band). I just feel like the whole world is against me. I am the kind of person that if you have a problem, take it up with me first. I do NOT want to hear your issues about ME from someone else. I am a confrontational person, but I think I know when it is appropriate or not to confront you for it(well...sometimes & others I am usually stunned to say anything at all)
    This is my 1st semester of my freshman year in college, and I can already say I have had one really bad living situation and a sorta not so fun one at times. I know it is a cliche, but everyone has that ONE bad roommate. I know that her problem was/is a legitimate issue, but I just think that its ironic that someone has issues with someone, when that other person has the same issues with you.
Golden Rule: Treat others like you wish to be treated.
     I am learning that college has no words to explain what you are going to go through mentally. It is a roller coaster of emotions. I am just super stressed, and feel like no one is on my side. I know I do need to invest in some friends on campus that have the same values and morals as I do. That will help, and then I will not be with everybody 24/7. I know I ask questions, but I do not think I am being nosy...I just feel like every action I do is followed by an interrogation. I do not get it.
   I know it is just a rough patch and tomorrow is new day! :) On the good note: It is less than a month until my brother is home from AIT at Fort Leonard Wood. :) YAY!!!
   Also I think I just need to learn some ways to act, think, and re-invent some things of myself and everything will get better. I just have to take this as a learning experience.

If stressed.....take a healthy dose of YOGA

I'm in college, and constantly on the move. I never stop. I wake up, go to class, eat breakfast, do homework due for my next class, eat lunch, then go to class, run back to my dorm, eat supper, do math homework, zumba if I can, take a shower, and finally collapse while I waste time on facebook. Then the cycle starts again. I am a hard-core procrastinator, and ALWAYS running late. Well it all needs to stop NOW.  Being stressed 99.9% of the time is not a way to live life. I snap randomly over stupid little things because it all builds up. Today in University 101 class, we had a stress management session....Yoga. I have never liked yoga. I thought it was a waste of time to turn my body into a pretzel, but today I embraced it on this very coudy, misty afternoon. All I have to say is.....It Worked. :) I feel so relaxed in the moment right now. It is definetly worth stepping out of your comfort zone to at least try for one session. :) You never know if you love something till you at least try it.
