Living with Purpose
As I wrapped up the spring semester I was overwhelmed to say the least. These past two weeks, though, I've had time off to relax and it was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me. I've been able to read (5 books already!), write, and workout.
During times of complete stress it is easy to go through the motions of what needs to be done. For me, I can feel like there is no purpose besides getting to the end goal. Breaks like summer and winter break are a great way to reevaluate my purpose.
What do I think my purpose is? There could be a lot of answers, but my focus now is finding balance. I want to find balance within school, work, health, and family/friends. Towards the end of last semester I was so stressed that I sometimes neglected healthy eating and spending time with people.
Tomorrow I start my internship! I'm so excited, but I know that I could get overwhelmed. My goal is to breathe, embrace my role as an intern, and find that balance. I hope that this will prepare me for going back to school in August. I'll immediately jump into spirit week, executing pre-recruitment events and then sorority recruitment itself. That entire 2-3 week process combined with starting school is always stressful, but I know that if I mentally prepare I can handle it.
I'm so excited to go into my junior year of college at Drury. I'm also excited to live life with purpose-- seeking balance.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
