Sup, everybody!
It’s definitely been a minute since I’ve posted. I’m sorry! A lot has happened the past few weeks. I’ll be going to New Orleans for a mission trip and Washington DC for the BAP annual meeting in the next few weeks. Also, I received news last week that I am one of the recipients for the PCAOB’s $10,000 scholarship for the year! This is a huge blessing. Because of the scholarship, I won’t have to pull out anymore loans, I’ll receive my other scholarships in refund, I was even able to purchase a MacBook Pro (I had an Air before, but the Pro is so much better), and I’ll be able to study abroad in Italy/England over Winter Break. In short, this scholarship is a huge answer to my prayers. God truly provides!
I’m so ready for the semester to start though. I’m ready to be on a set schedule and I’m ready to be through with undergrad!
Don’t get it twisted though, I understand that it’s my last year at Univ. and I need to savor it. I definitely will! I’m just ready to start on my goals. I’m ready to move to St. Louis and start my career. I feel that with college, I’m just treading water with academic performance. Yeah academics are important to me, but I feel that once I get out and into my career, my progress towards my goals will increase exponentially. I’m so ready for that!
It’s definitely been a challenge for me to balance living in the present and future. It’s a constant issue! I’ll keep y’all updated on my progress with this, but as of now, I’ve been keeping a conscious effort on living in the moment. I’ve definitely been feeling the benefits of it! However, I don’t want to get to the point of becoming lazy, unfocused, and unmotivated to pursue my goals. That’s where a lot of people mess up- they get caught up in the here and now.
I feel that a lot of people struggle with this constant balance, but I want to be able to balance the two. I feel that there are enormous benefits in doing so. Those reading- do you seem to struggle with balancing the two?
