I'm pretty sure every college student is fully aware of the fact that the fall semester is coming to a close. In a few short weeks we'll all be shutting the schoolbooks for awhile and going into holiday/rest/family/friend/vacation mode. Actually, I can only speak for myself, but I can say with confidence that I am already there for sure. My mind is already set to December 16th, two weeks from today, when I'll be finishing my music final, getting on the bus with my suitcase and bags and heading south for a good few weeks of Virginia!
But that's not for two weeks. I can't be so wishful about future events that I stop enjoying the things that are happening right now! So today, these thoughts are what are going through my sleepy brain and keeping me going:
-Monday I'll be on stage at the Lincoln Center, dancing alongside Billy Crystal and other acclaimed celebrities. We started rehearsing last night and it was a blast :)
-I'm really thankful for the dance teachers here at Tisch. They know when we're dragging and are in need of a bit of a break, so toward the end of each rotation they've been known to have "chatting" days, which are just big discussion days. No dancing, just talking. Today was one of them in modern. SO thankful.
-My weekly chiropractor appointment always makes me feel so much better after I leave the office.
-My friends rock. They're just amazing.
-I love feeling healthy.
-I love the sun.
-I love music and singing along to it.
But the biggest thing these days that's keeping my stress level from becoming a monster of an emotional mess is the joyous spirit of the holiday season. I know I keep dwelling on how wonderful this time of year is, but I really can't get over how happy I get when I just stop myself and think about the time of year we're in. The holiday season is everywhere, so just knowing that I get to live my days consumed in its peace and spirit seems to overpower any frustration I find myself having, causing me to remember that it's all going to be okay in the end!
Today on this sleepy Thursday, it's the little things make me happy :)
