Quarantine … (4/5/20)

Right now, in our world, there are numerous things going on that are putting a “stop” to living a regular lifestyle. Because of these tragic situations, everyone is being told to be “self-quarantined.” Basically what this means is to be aware of your surroundings and to be cautious with the way you treat your body. These tragic situations happening have taken people away from their families, friends, jobs, schools, etc. I personally am very hurt by this situation since I am a Freshman in college. It was about to be the fourth quarter and everyone was so excited for the weather to start getting nice. But, something came our way of stopping those things. We were asked to leave our University due to a virus going around our world. All students and faculty were upset about this, but it had to be done in order for everyone to be safe and healthy. Now that mostly everyone is at home, people are starting to get bored with being in their homes most of the day. Everyone keeps complaining about being in “quarantine” but there are many ways to stay positive while all of this bad is happening. I personally am looking at the situation as a way of God allowing us to become more healthier and aware of our bodies. I also see it as a way of spending time with our parents and pets. Lastly, I see it as a way of God telling us to take more action in health and safety for our world. I believe if we all participate properly, the situation will soon be less of a problem.

An Unforgettable Moment

It was a sunny, but snowy day in Perrysburg, Ohio. My family and I gathered together to celebrate Christmas together. The whole day, we spent time catching up with each other and sharing laughs together. My family always had a thought that my cousin Paige and her boyfriend Hunter would soon get engaged, but no one knew when that would be. They have a lovely relationship and they always support each other with everything they do. That day in Perrysburg, Paige and Hunter got engaged. My entire family got to witness the proposal. The room was filled with happiness and excitement for the newlyweds. My heart filled with happiness when I saw Paige and Hunter smiling together. Of course all the guys gave Hunter a bro hug, congratulating him. As for Paige, all the girls were crying and wanting to see the ring. I was so happy to welcome Hunter into our family. He is a great man who I know will treat my cousin Paige with kindness and love. This was truly an unforgettable memory for my family and I. I do not think we will ever forget this memory. The reason this memory will never be faded away out of anyone’s memory is because of the amount of happiness, tears, and smiles that filled the room on Christmas Day. To this day, Paige and Hunter are healthy and happy. Their relationship has remained strong. I am so happy to have Paige and Hunter in my family. They have always been so generous and kind towards me. With being the youngest one on my mom’s side, it is hard sometimes hanging out with the older kids. Paige and Hunter especially make sure I am welcomed into the conversations with all of the cousins.

My Perfect Day…

One of the best things in life is to spend a day doing things that make you happy. My perfect day would consist of the following. It would be a sunny day in October with a slight breeze to feel like fall weather. I would start my day by waking up and taking my dogs on a long walk around my neighborhood. After a nice, long walk, I would drive to my favorite yoga studio and spend an hour doing yoga. Yoga helps my mind rewind and relax for the rest of the day. After yoga, I would head to my favorite smoothie place to get a large, healthy smoothie. After finishing my smoothie, I would drive around town for a little to look at the fall leaves and enjoy the sunshine outside. Since the weather is so nice outside, I would spend time outside on my back patio with my dogs. I would play country music and lay down in the sunshine with my dogs. After relaxing, I would take a nice, long shower. I would do a face mask afterwards and make myself a nice lunch. Later in the night, I would love to spend time with friends and go to a concert. Listening to live music is one of my favorite things to do. If I could choose an artist to see in concert, it would be Luke Combs. His music makes me happy. Country music in general makes me feel good. Later at night, I would make s’mores with my friends and enjoy the fall night. This would be my perfect day.

My Motivational Words …

Since it is a new year, I made a challenge for myself. I chose words to live by for the 2020 season. The words that I chose to live by are, “strive for progress, not perfection.” I tend to be a perfectionist, so my challenge for this year is to not be hyper focused on specific things. I believe when I try to make everything perfect, I forget about that nothing needs to be perfect. It is more of the fact that I need to focus on what really matters. If I focus on perfection, then I won’t be able to progress in what I am doing. For example, I have always loved and been motivated to be a good student. Sometimes I focus on how my paper looks or how organized my notes are. This takes away my progress of actually learning the material properly and in my own way. Not everything needs to be perfect in life. All that matters is that we are happy in what we do. By being happy, we are progressing in becoming a healthier and happier person. When I am doing school work, working out, hanging out with friends and family, or organizing my room, I need to remember that perfection is not the goal. The goal to success is if you are progressing with yourself. If I live by these words, I believe my 2020 season will be successful. I think I will grow as a person and be happier with my performance in the things I do.
