Hectic Spring Semester Start!
This week was….. interesting. I had planned to make a cute post of “first day DITL” and “My first ceramics projects of the semester” but you get this instead.
Hectic moments:
1. MY CAR WINDOW BROKE! (The most hectic of all) when trying to get to class as a commuter my actuator ( the part of your car that holds your window and makes it go up and down) BROKE! Which sent my window falling into my door. It was very a cold 40 minute commute home.
2. I had to speed run renewing some of my clearances, which involved getting a TB test on campus and dropping way too much money that definitely wasn’t in budget this week 😭
Great things that happened:
1. Started my weaving class!! I’m so excited to use a traditional loom!
2. I had plenty of extra time this week to organize my notes and to dos for the semester and I fee ready to take on the world!
Although this was a chaotic start to my class semester on campus….. it was definitely unforgettable!!

The start of a new semester can often feel overwhelming, especially when unexpected challenges arise. Many students experience similar hectic moments, such as car troubles, last-minute clearance renewals, and tight budgets. It’s critical to prioritize self-care during these stressful times. Consider setting aside time for relaxation and mindfulness practices. In addition to the challenges, it’s important to focus on the rewarding aspects of the semester. Engaging in creative courses like weaving or ceramics can enhance your college experience, providing a fulfilling outlet for expression. Utilizing planners or digital organization tools can help manage your rapidly growing tasks. Balancing commitments and staying organized is essential for student success. Also, connecting with fellow students who share similar experiences can turn chaos into camaraderie, fostering a supportive community. These strategies can turn the chaotic start of a semester into a manageable journey filled with memorable experiences.
