Keep Calm and Carry On

I tend to worry a lot. It's just something that I have grown to live with. I stress about being on time to something, finishing homework, taking tests, even just walking to campus can stress me out a lot. Way more than it should.

Basically, I stress. Often. More than most people probably know. There are a lot of little things that I completely lose it over, that I don't really even mention to people.

Then the explosion happens. Everything comes out with a BANG! It can get really ugly.

This semester/year/the rest of my life... I am trying to be better about this. I have found that I just have to let things go and happen as they may.


My new philosophy:

Well, its not exactly new. Its actually one of 3 posters from England during WWII which has kinda stuck around in England and is sort of their motto in a sense.

But, in my life it is new. I'm really striving for patience with myself and to have a more calm and collected attitude.

Yes, this is very difficult for me. Especially now when I am surrounded by circumstances out of my control everyday. My goal is to "keep calm and carry on."

This doesn't mean that I am just going to sit around and not do anything with my life. I will still work hard and probably stress a lot. I have other goals that I will not let pass by me. But, the stupid, pointless, little things that don't matter in an eternal perspective I am going to try my best to let go. I want to, in a way, be back to my laid back, old self like back in the high school days. But, only kinda.
