Mono
"Maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year." -- All Time Low; Weightless.
2012 has definitely not started off easy for me. 2012 has been a really good test on my faith in myself and my friends. It might be only February but with all this going, it feels like November.
Starting off my year with watching Walking Dead (how awesome is this show?!) and checking off resolutions that I wanted to start this year. Little did I know that I would come down with Mono in the next few weeks, which dashed few of the resolutions I had. Coming back to the winter quarter only for one week then leaving and coming back home was one of the hardest things I had to do in a long time, I cried the whole morning before leaving Rochester. I never thought I'd be one of these students that would have to take a leave of absence just for their health, I always knew I didn't take care of myself that well, but Mono? I can't say this never crossed my head, but I always told myself I was immune. Definitely a wake up call.
Although leaving school is miserable, better things have come my way. I'm able to see the people I rarely see more often and I grabbed an opportunity to probably have a summer job (still crossing my fingers on this). I'm able to relax and get my stuff together before starting school again, something I didn't exactly get to do during winter break back in January. I was constantly sick and on the go. Now, I'm just relaxing and resting as much as I can. Of course, I'm bored but nothing Pinterest can cure!
My constant reminder the whole nearly two months I've been home, and my motto whole winter quarter has been "maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year." It reminds me that it won't always rain forever and whatever I'm going through WILL get better. Whenever I remind myself of this quote, I feel less stressed and moody when things aren't going my way. Sometimes I need to remind myself just to get out of my bed and dress up cute, then my whole day changes.
It might only be February but you can bet this will be the year for me. I will get better grades. I will be healthier. I will work harder to get the things I want in life. This is my year.

Write commentsit's amazing how an outfit or an accessory can change your day completely! :) love it.
Replyand yeah, sometimes people get the chance to put everything on hold and to see things in a different light. sometimes people don't know how to take a step back because life keeps on going and going. I'm glad you got the opportunity, even though I'm not glad you got mono! :-P
and of course i believe that everything happens for a reason. you may not get WHY now but someday it'll make sense. I can honestly say that i TOTALLY am glad this&that happened to me because it led me to where i am today when i look back... xo
oh and good luck with the summer opportunity! i hope you get it! :D
ReplyI thought my huge "step back" moment was before I went to RIT but this is really the moment that probably changed my perspective on things and taking a break is much needed right now. I'm thankful but at times I still question why this is happening to me, you know? And THANKS! :D
