This semester I’m looking forward to growing as a student and as a person. In writing I really like to draw on my own creativity to help me write and express myself, specifically when writing short stories ill tend to draw a lot of inspiration from fantasy and sci fi horror works such as “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” or The Cthulhu Mythos. As a student I feel I’m able to complete work once I sit down to do it, just fine… but that’s the hardest part, is saying to myself that I must sit and work, from there everything is easy. It’s the most daunting thing to worry about all the things worrying you and then you end up getting nothing done.

 

 I hope I overcome this terrible mental hygiene by getting and staying caught up on my academics and keeping a tight leash on myself to do well in class. When it comes to my own life I have a lot going on, but sometimes I have to ask myself if the stuff I have going on is really all that time consuming? Well taking a look at it, possibly not. Sometimes I think that it seems like alot and i’ll dedicate so much mental power into just thinking about how much it is and then when it comes to actually do it, I have no more mental energy for getting started on the task that needs to be done, so then I stay in this never ending cycle of worry and procrastination. When this happens I find it’s easiest to just take one small thing and do that first, and once I’m done with that small thing, it makes me feel a little better. Because I just accomplished something while yes, very small in nature, is very big in the part it plays in keeping me down.
