^ this is super old, but I didn't have any other photo to use.
So I woke up one day this week feeling like literal shit. My head was pounding, I felt nauseous - the whole nine yards. I couldn't figure out why the sudden feeling of sickness was taking over my body, but then I realized it all came down to my eating habits, stress levels and sleep routine.
Now, for a lot of us, whether we are in school or working or just dealing with life day to day - we can all feel a little overwhelmed. This week was, well, overwhelming.
I haven't been treating my body right. My body hasn't been getting as much sleep as it should (and I sleep a lot) and my stress levels have been very high. With work in full swing, classes being regular and finals week closing in on me - I have found myself having a lot of work to do. Managing my time is something I need to really work on so I don't feel like I am rushing to get stuff done, sending me over the edge.
I also haven't been eating too healthy. As most university students can attest to, universities don't also the greatest choices of food to eat. For lack of time, I have been grabbing unhealthy shit to make it through the day and all of that bad stuff in my body has finally caught up. Starting this week, I am going to begin eating healthier (including more food groups, etc.) You know, the usual. I am trying to cut out the fries, pizza and other greasy options that have taken over the dining halls on campus.
But I won't lie, I gotta have some ice cream time in there at some point. I have had the "diets" where I limited myself to only certain things and while I can control wanting to eat the sugary sweets, I found myself irritably by trying to cut them out of my life completely. It's good to treat yourself.
I am also limiting my coffee consumption (I write this as a caffeine migraine takes over my brain). I was at the point where I was drinking two cups a day which is TERRIBLE. I am trying to cut down to about three or four cups a week maybe. We will see how that works out.
Among other things, I mentioned in a few posts that I have plans of studying abroad next fall. All of those plans have been moved until the beginning of my junior year (fal1 2015) due to some financial stuff. So I have been looking around campus on where I want to live and am so excited to be rooming with my friend Meagan next year!
I just thought I would fill you all in with some of things that have been going on in my life! I am trying to get my mind and body back in check as finals week approaches so I am (hopefully) do well!
Don't let finals week stress you out! Just take it all one step at a time! I am always here to the few of you that may be going through the same thing so feel free to leave comments below or contact me on any of my social media sites!
Hope all is well.
