Countdown 72 Days: Good thing, Bad thing, Everything happens for a reason

WARNING: THE BEGINNING PART OF THIS POST CAN BE IRRITATING. BUT I KNOW YOU WANT TO READ IT, SO GO AHEAD AND READ IT ANYWAYS. 

I went to bed at 7pm just now, and woke up at 12am, and realized that my phone has like a million unread messages. 

Here's the thing about my life recently:
I have quite a number of group projects, but everyone does not seem to be doing his/her work. This really pissed me off. Regarding the unread messages I mentioned earlier, it was because we have a group assignment due tomorrow at 12pm, and they are only doing it now, claiming that they were busy. Like seriously... I slept for only two hours last night (3-5 on average), had back-to-back midterms from 9.30am to 11am, then 11an to 12.30pm, then I had a lab from 1-5pm. 

There is another midterm coming up tomorrow, because apparently some people don't understand the rules to be a student. I mean, if you want to cheat in an exam, you don't have to actually make a google doc and share it in our class group where everyone (including the TAs and Professor have access to it, YA KNOW. It's like telling the professor that, "Hey look, I'm cheating in exam, and now I am inviting everyone to cheat with me!" I spent a whole night working on that midterm, cause apparently her questions are ...*I don't know what to say about it anymore*

Also, something happened in lab today, which I'm really upset about. I threw my product away...That's the dumbest, biggest, yet most common mistake one could ever do. 

I have been trying to be a more optimistic person, and always think that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. You know, sometimes it can get kinda stressful when you have 5 midterms in two weeks, lab reports, group assignments (which seem more to like individual assignment cause one person does everything for the group), logistics for Spring break volunteering trip, whole bunch of meetings, training, and things keep going left (cause..nothing goes right). 

Okay, I think I've had enough of ranting. I'll stop here. 

On a lighter (and happier) note, I'm getting my bike next week! Hopefully I'll have the chance to ride it at least once before I leave for Spring break! Hopefully too, no soreness. :3

I actually selfishly thought that I would want to have Spring break all for myself, sleep, study, and whatnot, then I realize that if I don't volunteer while I could, I will gonna be so regretful about this missed opportunity next time. 

I came here during my Sophomore year, and spent one whole academic year trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. And when I finally (70%) figured out what I want to do, there are only 400+ days left until graduation. I really regretted for not pushing myself hard enough when I first got here. I admit that I'm feeling tired all the time, but I feel contented despite the busy schedule. It somehow makes me focus on the things I need to do, instead of spending hours scrolling facebook, instagram, and twitter. 

It's because I'm busy, I appreciate the rest time I have; It's because I'm busy, I'm happy. 

I believe in 5 or 10 years, when I look back, I'll be proud of myself on what I have done/achieved in these years. It will all be worthwhile. :)

Here, I would like to thank everyone who has been super supportive towards me. It's you guys that make my hard times easier, and good time better! I'm really thankful for meeting and having each and every of you in my life. :')

If you're going through a lot of troubles, I hope you will get over it soon! Nothing lasts forever--bad things last short, good things last long. Stay focused, and things will get better with time! 

P/S: Sorry for the ranting part! I just need to get those out of mind, so I could fill myself up with happier, better, more positive things!
