I’ll start with the lows, and finish with the highs. There’s an obvious choice to start with, for all college students, finals. Those six letters drive terror into all students, big and small. The trials of studying, sleeping, snacking, studying more, and panicking. Then the weeks of studying and panic culminate in just a few short tests, for which there is never enough time or preparation.
Another low for me actually was part of the lead up to Christmas. I usually put a lot of thought into the gifts I give, and this year I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough time or money to finish buying the gifts that I wanted to get for everybody. I also don’t like how busy everything is right before the holidays. Everything is packed, from the roads to the stores, and all pervaded by blaring Christmas tunes. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy the holidays, but only during the actual week before the holidays, not a long time before that. I prefer to enjoy the holidays at home too, surrounded by my friends and family rather than the crowds of people out and about.
A high, then. Christmas itself. I really enjoyed Christmas, including my own preparations. I loved giving the gifts I picked out. I even used my “copy and paste” drawing to personalize plain white bags with different anime and video game characters. They were really cute! I also enjoyed the celebrations at home, first with my father and cats, and then my sister and I joined our mother and her boyfriend Christmas Day. The food was so good, and soporific. I loved the thoughtful and useful gifts I received as well as spending quality time with my family.
Another high is the time after school finals are over. This time is so much more relaxing. There’s no studying, no homework. Aah. I get to sleep in and wake up snuggling my cat. I can eat whenever I want, so long as there’s food in the house. I am super lazy at heart, so I love having this time off. Maybe I can use it to quit procrastinating and keep up on my blog too. Although, admittedly, I’m going to take a break from the writing challenges for the moment, considering how badly I messed this one up. I will be posting regularly though, just not to ongoing prompts like this one. I need a breather on here too I suppose.
