I don't know about you, but I am so thankful that it is the weekend! Finally! This week seemed to be extra long and really stressful. I hope that all of you had a nice week and can enjoy a much needed weekend. Unfortunately, mine will be filled with homework, papers, and attempting to plan out my schedule for next semester. The good news (and the main reason why I am posting today) is that I have an absolutely lovely and supporting group of friends who will encourage me to do the best that I can and pick me up when I fall.
As I mentioned, this past week (and the ones before that) have been fairly crazy and overwhelming. I'm way too committed right now (FYI, I refuse to admit when I get in over my head, but I know that I have way too much going on right now and need to cut some things out) and there simply aren't enough hours in a day to get everything done and sleep. I'm extremely overwhelmed, but trying to keep myself looking like everything is in control when it actually feels like nothing is going right.
Anyway, the other night I walked back to my dorm room around 2:20 am (I hadn't been back since I left earlier that morning at 7:30 am) and found my door covered in post-it notes! My door was already covered with motivational phrases (in case you forgot, I love my inspiration) so this was an added bonus. They were some of my most common phrases ("Positivity is key!", "Mistakes were made, friends", "Stranger things have happened", etc.) or some of my characteristics/dorky habits (takes the stairs, loud keys, enthusiastically optimistic, etc.). It started out with one friend writing some because she was bored and then another and another and another until you have this masterpiece. (Fun fact: it literally looks like the inside of my brain with motivation, post-it note reminders, phrases, and lots of inspiration.)
I just kind of stared at my door, snickered at all of the post-it notes, and felt so loved and blessed. I know it's so dorky to say, but I was so touched by this gesture that was meant to be silly. When I was finally coming back to the dorms, I felt so defeated and worthless, but seeing all of the post-it notes from my friends (whom are actually more than just my friends, but my family) made me remember that I have a group of people who love me no matter what, poke fun of my silly characteristics, and who are always there for me.
I'm so incredibly thankful for all of them because they make the rough days better, but make the best days memorable. I honestly have no idea what I would do without them. They are absolutely wonderful people and they make me a better person every day I'm with them. I feel so blessed to have amazing friends. (Sorry, readers, I had to share this wonderful post because it fills me with warm fuzzies and I hope that it does the same for you.)
I'm hiding out in the library with my philosophy textbook next to me and a huge pile of homework next to that. I hope you all have an absolutely lovely day! You are all so loved! Thanks for taking the time to ready my dorky blog, it means a lot.
Love,
Katie
P.S. Here's what it looks like. This picture doesn't do justice because the post-it notes are literally everywhere. And I'm keeping them up forever.
