It's The Freakin Weekend

It is currently, 8:22 p.m. and while I am stuck inside on duty tonight I felt that I would write a quick blog. This won't be a super long, short and sweet...and to the point.

I labeled this blog," It's The Freakin Weekend" because well it is a Saturday night and it is the time of the week where people will be going out to have a fun night, studying inside their rooms, or at home spending time with their family, friends, or loved ones. Which either way that it may be never forget to take time for YOURSELF. It doesn't matter whether it is life, school, family, friendships, relationships, stress...what ever it may be don't forget to take time out for yourself.

I remember my freshman and sophomore year I would spend a lot of my time on Friday and Saturday nights sitting in the study lounge trying my hardest to get some work done early so I wouldn't be stressed! Let me tell you those were some long nights! Even today I have been TRYING to study for an exam that I have for Monday, which doesn't feel like I have gotten very far.

The crazy thing is, it doesn't matter where you are right now, heck you may have just got back home from work. The truth is everyone deserves a time to relax and just not worry. Yes, I am stressed about my exam this coming monday, but I am going to stop studying shortly for the night and pick it up tomorrow. I am going to try to make some time for ME tonight, even if it is by myself.

So my point is this, never lose sight of giving time to yourself. Times get stressful and over bearing but thats what they made couches for right. Everyone deserves to be a couch potato sometimes..right?

Grab a bag of doritos, go get a mcflurry from mcdonalds, or spend time tonight with your friends, family, or who ever you like. My theory is it is not always about having time, but making TIME. Even if it is for 30 minutes tonight of just watching TV.

I used to be the BIGGEST nerd sitting in the study lounge late at nights, then someone must have hit me over the head or something.

Are you stressed? Sure, arent we all to an extent? Need a laugh? Call or text a friend. Want some company? Just go SOMEWHERE..no matter how dumb it may sound at first.

You deserve to have fun, we all do. So let the night be yours, and no matter how tired you are, do what makes you happy.

Heck, at the end of the day what matters is that YOU ARE HAPPY. You'll find that happiness one way or another. Even if it is eating a milkyway! :) Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.

Happiness is not defined by the amount of friends you have, the expensive items in your house, the clothes you wear, or having the privilege of doing what you please. 

Happiness is accepting your life, your circumstances, and making the most out of what you have, and doing what makes you HAPPY! Amen
