This week was definitely my best week here at Penn State this semester. THON weekend definitely took the cake for my biggest positive of the week. Throughout the weekend I had gone to small apartment hangouts with my sorority and had such a good time. I got to meet so many new girls since I don’t know a lot of them yet and we also got to all enjoy THON together. I also did some fun activities throughout the weekend with my THON committee which was such a fun time and a highlight of the weekend. Although THON this year wasn’t how it normally would be, I still made the most of it and had a great time and cannot wait to do it all again next year. Seeing how much we were able to raise, even during a pandemic, was just amazing and made me smile so much knowing that I was a part of something so great and impactful. If you didn’t get involved this year, I highly highly recommend getting involved in the years to come because it is definitely something worth putting your time into and you make such a difference in so many people’s lives and it’s just an amazing time all together and I wouldn’t have traded the experience for anything.
My second positive for this week is that I got an A on my stats exam, which I was pretty sure I failed after taking it. Math is definitely not my strong suit in the slightest, and stats proves that. I wasn’t feeling too confident in myself and struggled a little while taking it, so I was a little disappointed after. But, I just got my grade back and I ended up doing very well, a LOT better than what I was expecting. This gives me hope for the future tests in this class and gives me motivation to trust myself more and be more confident in my work.
My last positive for this week is that I got all my work due this weekend done today so that I don’t have to stress on Sunday. Normally I leave most of my work for Sunday, which just isn’t ideal because I usually just end up too stressed out and have piles of homework to do. Having no work to do this weekend and knowing that I can just have a calm day on Sunday makes me feel so relieved and gets rid of so much stress. I definitely need to start doing this more often, but then again I say that and it’s most likely just not going to happen. But, one can only hope. Hopefully this will give me the motivation to do this every week this way I can have calm Sundays.
My positives for this week ranged from something super big and impactful to something small. But, no matter how big or small your positive is, it’s still great to recognize the good in your days and create that positive outlook on life to motivate you.
