I'm doing 17 things
I think about “the rest of my life” all the time, where will I live, what will I be doing, who will I be with, will I have children etc etc. But lately i’m starting to realise that it’s impossible to know these things, and the most important thing is to make little goals to complete along the way. At the moment my 2 year goal is to complete my degree to the best of my ability and then when that’s done I will see what options are available. I used to try to figure everthing out at once, but now as I grow older I realise that life is not like that. Things happen unexpectedly and although the unknown is scary it’s also really exciting. For now the only things i’m certain of is that I want to enjoy the rest of my life as much as possible, I want to constantly challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone and enjoy whatever life has to offer. I shouldn’t find these choices stressful, i’m lucky that I have options in life.

So I had to stop having caffine for a week prior to a surgery and since then I have tried to resist. Only yesterday did I realise that this may have something to do with the huge painful almost migraine like headaches I have been getting. So im just having one weak coffee in the morning to stop the brainpains, and im drinking lots of water and herbal spiced apple tea instead. Y oh y does coffee have to be so nice though lol, i’ll keep trying to resist.
I have only just discovered this site but think it’s brilliant. The best part is that I can help others by doing something so simple, also it means I can now procrastinate from studying without feeling guilty (because i’m doing something so worthwhile) andd to top it all off it will help me to complete my “wider vocabulary” goal. Not bad huh, gota go theres rice to be donated :D
