Summer is here and honestly I don't know what to do with myself. It's not as if I've got absolutely nothing planned or have nothing to be getting on with but it dawned on my that its the last one I'll ever have; because after this year, I graduate and then I'm catapulted into the real, adult, summer holiday-less world.
So I'm deciding to try my best to make the most of it by setting small goals to complete each day to make sure I end up better at the end of this summer than I started. Because let's be honest, it's very likely I'm not going to have this much down time until retirement. Whether that be working out, brushing up on some French vocab, reading a book or creating something; I really want to push myself and get the most out of this summer whilst I can.
Don't get me wrong, of course I've been looking forward to getting some down time, but after a while, doing nothing gets mundane. I've never been one to be happy sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I'm the kind of person who thinks sleeping a waste of time and wish I didn't have to do it. That said, I do see the value of rest so I'm looking forward to guilt free late evenings and having a bit of a lie in now and then, but I want that to be an occasional thing.
I really want to take up some sort of creative task each and every day, ranging from producing a video for my channel, writing, playing my piano or drawing. Next I want to go out of my way and work out, albeit a hula-hooping session, going for a walk or attempting yoga - just something to get me moving as well as an outlet for any stress or pent up frustrations. And lastly I really would like to expand my mind, by reading, researching or engaging with things that invest an intrigue with me, whether they be architecture related, practising my French, learning new skills.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, I want to make the most of this time I have to myself, and hopefully make some great strides towards my self improvement, starting the next academic year in the best position I've ever been in.
So alas, I'm going to love you and leave you. Please accept my sincere apologies for neglecting you guys, but the last term of uni really required my full attention. I'll make it up to you this summer though!
Thanks so much for reading - much love,
Margaret
