Snow Hits The Peach
What a start to the school year. We are off and running, with my first quiz being the 3rd day of class. I had a quiz in my marketing class, and while I was preparing for the quiz, I felt like I was being called out. I learned how companies market themselves to target specific people to buy their products. As I read my marketing book more and more, I have become more fascinated about the topic, and all I can think of is how can I apply the topics I learn to my own life.
I am very excited about this semester because when this semester is over, I get to see Jadon play lacrosse and graduate, then I will fly to Galway, Ireland, for my study abroad. I am finally off to travel, which is exciting. I also want to go see Barcelona if I get a chance on a long weekend or extend my stay there for a little bit. Bonus I will be able to celebrate my 21st birthday aboard! Doing what I love on my birthday is exciting. I will probably be celebrating on the weekend because my birthday falls on a Tuesday.
Guess what! It snowed here in Atlanta, and it was satisficing to watch my roommate be memorized by the snow since one is from Florida and the other is from Georgia. We spent all day watching the snowfall, taking pictures/videos, building handheld snowmen, baking, and watching movies. It was nice when we came back to the apartment and all watched Hangover 1 and 2 while drinking hot cocoa and confetti cake. The confetti cake was the best baked good I have made here. If you are wondering, it was a box mix.
While sitting here and finishing up this post, I release that I keep putting off my school work. All my decisions this weekend may be why I have screwed myself over this week. But one of my 2022 goals is to find a balance in social life, academic life, and Shea time. In the past, I have been way too heavy on academic life, which makes sense because I want to keep my scholarships and be competitive for internships. On the flip side, I need to divide my time because I do not want to miss out on life like I did in high school. I need to be ok with not having perfect grades like I have had so far. Yes, I like the thrill of seeing my grades at the end be all A’s; however, that few moments of joy should not overtake the joy of life. May have screwed myself over this week, but I am one step closer to finding a balance.
