School: It’s Finally Back to “De-Procrastinate” My Life!

How I’m going to feel when I have to actually open a text-book this fall after being on my computer all summer.

Ever have the feeling that, when the spring semester of school ends and summer has begun your mind just shuts down?  I have to admit that’s the way I feel as I’m sitting two weeks till school starts again right now.  I had so many plans for things I wanted to do like: get some kind of exercise regiment going and continue writing here going through the summer.

Alas, here I am and my bike has done nothing but collect dust over the summer and I glance into my blog here and I haven’t had a new one since May(Until Now!!).  To say the least as I feel I do every year around this time. I have to ask myself, “Where did the time Go!?”

Of course I know the answer to that question.  For one I have spent some of my time reading (which is good I suppose.)  In a matter of weeks this summer, I became a Hunger Games expert (which I would highly recommend hunger games for anyone looking for a good book series, Just saying!)  Soon after that adventure,  vacation hit in June and that was just “all she wrote” as my grandfather would say, for any hope of getting back on track with those things I never got done this summer.

All is not lost though, I did get a few things accomplished as I said before including having an awesome summer with my college church group on Wednesdays.  It was so nice to have a group of college students to be around to talk about and study “Christian Beliefs” as the book was titled, that we went over this summer.  It felt good to be involved with such a close stitched group from all different walks of life but so close when it comes to all of our walks with Christ. Definitely a recharging feeling!

This summer was relaxing to say the least and it really did feel like it lasted a long time! Dare I say it? I have to say I’m ready to head back to school (As ready as a college student gets that is.) As always though as my blog is titled School is always here to get me back on track with plans.  

Click for the Full Effect! This is how I feel sometime when I’m writing haha :p

Here I am writing again, refreshed and ready to get back on a steady regimen of blogs/stories (Still working on the exercise part though but I have faith in myself this fall, it will come along!)

 School just has that effect, your mentally preparing yourself for the future tests,quizzes and homework assignments that will be looming over our heads soon enough!  Refreshed from the summer, once more I’m ready to take on “The World” and school of course as I’m sure you all are as well!

So as all the madness begins and everyone gets ready to put their thinking caps on for the fall semester, Push Yourself!  Whether you’re in High School, College or your working full-time. I urge you to push yourselves to go out and do those things you wanna do as I do so myself!  Whether you’re looking in to getting anything from an exercise schedule going to getting that GPA up this fall.

 Push yourself to reach for your goals this fall, with the right mind-set it’s just a matter of time till you reach them.  Finally keep sight of God in your life, because through him “All things are Possible.” (Philippians 4:13)

Good Luck and God Bless as we all prepare ourselves for the quickly advancing fall schedule!
