76 Remaining.

We could always have it worse. 1800's everyone died young, 1900's everyone got conscripted for war. Epidemics, disease, revolution killed millions through the times. We are lucky. We live in a day and age where technology and medicine is at its finest and we live in a country where it is relatively politically stable and there is a social serving safety net. Take a look at your lives and destress a little bit... yesterday I felt so less together and today, I took a look at myself and told myself to chill. As much as things "matter" they're not life or death, so in retrospect, they dont matter. Weeks, months, years after, what I've done today I will probably have forgotten and in actuality its petty. Yes, this studying influences my future, but I need to take care of myself... as does everyone else writing their exams, dont stress, its not the end of the world. Take a second and look at yourself, your health is important. Keep it together, studies are important but as is your health, dont make it an excuse not to study, but make it a rational why you dont study as hard. What I wish is I could finish what I'm doing here and make the impact I want to. Ton's of places in the world where they dont have the leisure to study, or even the security of life, so dont take these things for granted. Everyone just chill for a bit, then take the time to reflect on where we live and be greatful. We live in a good time. Make the best of it.

How I've been wasting my time

it's all about perspective. "will this matter when I'm 80 and looking back across the years?"
