Let's vent a little, shall we? Or rather, let ME vent a little. These last days have been mighty, powerfully stressful. I'm usually never one to stress out about things too much, I just have this good (and bad) way of channeling stress into something else. I don't really tell myself to do it, it just happens naturally, which is honestly kind of nice. But lately. Oyyyy. These nerves have gotten the best of me. I definitely feel the pressure at school with finals and last projects and even though I'm 120% dedicated to what I do, I kind of want to tear my hair out.
The other night at two in the morning I was working on a graphic design project (which, by the way, I had been working on for about four hours) and all of a sudden, kaboom. My kind of apocalypse: Photoshop dies. Photoshop doesn't auto save. Photoshop lost all my work. It hurts. I went into angry Hulk mode/hormonal pregnant woman for an hour and was this close to throwing my computer in the toilet. But that would've been awkward.
I had to re-do all my work but it wasn't as good as my first batch of designs which really drove me insane. I woke up the next morning with swollen eyes, still feeling completely frustrated AND nervous about other classes. Let me just tell you, I went through my highschool years like a breeze, just 'chillen'
most of the time
.. So these kind of nerves are NOT easy to deal with. I just feel like going to the vet and ask for horse tranquilizers. Or throw back one or two or five tequila shots. And just so you know, I don't own any horses.
I thought my 11-hour day at school would only get worse but it took a surprisingly happy turn with a few little things.
- Tweeting about my bouncy stress levels (I'm officially that kind of Tweeter,ew) and getting nice and funny replies from some badass ladies; Liz from SRSLYLIZ, Elise from Blowfish Shoes, Alivia from Brunch in April and Eliesa from Good Day, Sunshine .
- Taking a gingerbread latte break. I do like you sometimes, Starbucks.
- Getting the best compliment ever from my graphic design teacher that meant the absolute world to me. I'm still giggling about that. Five days later.
- Opening an email from a lovely girl saying that her Christmas present was going to be a blog design done by me. Didn't that make me shed a tear or two.
- And then just thinking of my trip to Lisbon (which is THIS FRIDAY) and how I'll get to see all my best friends and family and how lucky I am to be able to do so! Wooooo.
Stress = pshhh, what are you talking about. Gone with the wind.
Point of my story = I'm still stressed.
Kidding. I do, however, have absolutely no idea how in this world I'll have time to pack and not forget things. God help me. I'm going to turn my bedroom upside down. Updates on
Instagram.
The cheesy (but honest) point I'm trying to make is that you might think you're having the worst day ever (although mine was in NO way a tragedy) but you'll most likely have good things to be happy about.
Just measure it in inches.
Plus, Frankie did say "relax", so... do it.
Cheers!
