The CK Daily – Eyes Tired, Brain Fried, But Still Grinding!
Good morning, everyone!
This week is one of my most dreaded times as a UGA student – midterms week. The stress of balancing exams, assignments, group projects, and all the other things that life throws at you can feel like a lot. It’s one of those times when everything is piling up all at once and you have to trudge through it to get to the other side.
I’ve spent most of my days staying inside, buried in my computer, with quick breaks to grab food or stop staring at a screen. The biggest help so far has been my glasses – I only wear them when my eyes get tired or when I am staring at my computer for extra long, which has been nearly 24/7 lately. Plus having great friends who are going through the same thing helps even more, you get to study together and help each other out through the whole thing.
Between everything going on, it can be easy to get lost in the hustle and forget to take a breather. Weeks like these remind me of how important it is to find a balance, even when it feels like there is no time for anything else. My quick 30-minute walks have been saving me from sitting the entire day, and I’m so grateful that I can make time for them!
Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone a little update on how my week is going. If you’re also juggling a million things right now, I feel you! We’re almost there – keep pushing!
