this is it.

Hello!  I'm a 20 year old college student who is trying to find herself and stay healthy and happy while doing it.  I am at a turning point.

This is IT if I'm going to maintain my sanity.  I need to get my sh*t together, stop hanging out on the pity-potty, and organize my life.  I don't know where this little blog will take me, but I do want to commit to writing in it regularly and cataloguing my journey to balance.


It seems appropriate now, after Thanksgiving, a time of gluttony and thankfulness, that I would start this journey.
I'm thankful for my decent health, for my ability to focus in school, for my roommates, and for my family's love.  Among other things, of course.  These were just the first to come to mind.

I have quite a few things I need to work on.

School:
-  reduce procrastination
-  go to all classes until winter break
-  read assignments rather than ignoring them
-  take thorough notes, not daydream, etc.

Health:
-  work on intuitive eating
-  eat healthfully but balanced:  all foods are good foods
-  maintain an exercise routine
-  practice yoga 2-3 x per week
-  go to sleep by 11pm each night (I wake up at 7am)

I have an all-or-nothing attitude that I must change if I want to keep my sanity.  I can't proclaim that I'm going on a diet when really, if I were eating healthfully and exercising regularly I would feel fine with my body and I do NOT need to lose weight.  I cannot skip class then neglect to do the make-up work and then skip the next class "just because."


I want balance.
