So I'm now approaching the end of my fall semester - my second semester. So that means yet another long holiday will be coming and I want to spend my holiday meaningfully. Just now, I laid out my plans and there are just so many things that I have and want to do. Among of which are finding a part-time job, cleaning my room, reading books and brushing up on my general knowledge. Also, there are stories that I plan to publish. It has been quite a while since I wrote any piece of fiction and I want to resume back to constructing my own plots and churning out quality stories out of them.
My fear is that I would spend my entire holidays doing nothing productive and end up regretting and beating myself about it as a result. SO I'm going to keep a diary to keep tabs of what I did for the day so that I would at least do something productive.
Also, I have so many shows I want to complete watching. And, I also made a realization that I don't always have to finish what I started. If I get irritated with the characters and stories (or lack thereof), then the logical thing would be to just stop, right? Why further torture myself by enduring an irritating show or movie and gain nothing at the end? The same goes for reading books. If I get bored after flipping a few pages, I should just skip sections and not worry about "missing out". We all have to eventually accept that we all don't have the luxury of time to do everything. Besides, if something doesn't interest you, no matter how many times you read or watch those boring things, they just won't become embedded into your minds.
When I made those revelations, a huge weight seemed to be removed from my shoulders. It's worrying about little things like this that make us easily stressed and agitated. We could change that and we have the power to since those matters are in our control.
So yeah, I'm feeling quite relaxed and confident that I am able to reach my personal targets during this holiday!
