The Helmet Fiasco

Hello everyone, another day of working on my mental and physical health has nearly flown by, so of course that’s when I remember about an assignment due in a couple days. 

Staying in character, I chose to procrastinate with this post rather than so much as look at the Anatomy reading I have. 

Anyways, after a pleasant workout consisting of a mix of cardio and weights, I was enjoying a nice lettuce wrap and watching Shane Dawson’s latest installment of The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star. Then I get, The Text.

‘The Text’ being the start of the most ignorant conversation I have ever had in my life. 

Long story short, the sender somehow managed to flip themselves over the handlebars of their bike (which is a whole other story), hit their head against the pavement, and create quite a bloody mess. 

This all occurred an hour before the initial text.

All the while the sender complains to me about feeling dizzy and being in pain, can’t see well in the light and having a pounding headache which is only getting worse. All symptoms of a pretty serious concussion, the only thing missing is vomiting.

Now, for those fortunate enough to escape the annoyance of a concussion, it’s considered a form of brain damage, and you have to get it checked out by a doctor because there are varying degrees of the severity of a concussion. 

I feel like that could’ve been said better. Oh well. 

Anyways, the second I mention that the sender needs to be checked out by the student health services (which is free to full-time students, and they have real doctors there) or to have her Aunt take her to the hospital. 

Nope, “concussions aren’t that bad, this is my fourth one this year, I should know”. 

What. The. Fudge. Did. I. Just. Read. 

Now, I’ve had concussions before. A total of 2, years apart because concussions are actually pretty difficult to get, and having more than two within the same year is bad news. Which I explain of course. 

Well after receiving only helpful advice of getting checked out and not the overwhelming amount of sympathy or attention the sender was so obviously looking for, they go and complain to their Aunt. 

Who then proceeds to take her to the hospital. Gee, wonder why. 

Lesson learned, where your goddamn helmet and educate yourself if your prone to hitting your head into hard surfaces. 

It’s 10:09pm, approximately 2 hours from midnight, and 38 hours away of my anatomy deadline. It’s almost tomorrow.

Stay Healthy and Happy My Friends

Evening everyone, I hope everyone is having a good day so far, and if not, then that’s okay too, just  take care of yourself. This post is to address my random bouts of depression, they’ve started affecting me more often now that I am away from home. 

These bouts usually last a week or two, but this most recent one lasted almost a month. I’d sleep until noon, not having the energy to even roll out of bed at times. I would miss my bio class, and I would automatically try and justify it by saying I could catch up using the recorded lectures.

It really isn't that easy. 

These bouts of depression and lethargy often came with not taking care of myself, succumbing to the comforting feeling and taste of junk food. All I ate for those 3 weeks was a mix of Nacho Cheese Doritos (the best) and M&Ms. Needless to say, I felt like literal crap. 

So, today when I rolled out of bed around 1pm, I forced myself to get dressed and go to the Rec center at my school. It didn’t take long until I wanted to give up and leave, but I didn’t let myself. 

I chose not to push myself too hard today, so that I’d be in a more willing mindset to go again tomorrow. Right now, my goals are simple. Be up by 9, head to the gym, and just let yourself be happy. 

Sometimes that’s just how things are. I hope that this will work out for me, small steps for now. It’s why I started this blog, as a form of self-therapy. So tonight, I want to leave you all with this: 

Take small steps, and see where it takes you. It’s 6:07pm, approximately 6 hours until midnight. It’s almost tomorrow.

Midterm Season

Midterm season is spoopy season, period. I’m currently sitting at a desk on the fourth floor of my school library, procrastinating on editing my paper by creating a tumblr account. Haven’t decided if that’s a good or bad thing yet. 

We’ll see.

College is vastly different from high school. Anyone could tell you that. For one thing, at least I got to leave and see my dogs everyday. Now I’m 647 miles away and forced to supplement their love and cuddles with pictures. Love that. Also, the library at my high school had maybe 8 shelves, and the rest of the area was filled with tables. For such a large building, it made me want to cry with how poorly the school used it. 

I think I went in there once in all of the four years I was there. 

Comparatively, I think I’ve been in the college library at least four times in the past week. It’s mostly so I could avoid my extremely talkative roommate, but it counts. Maybe this time I won’t completely bomb my anatomy test now that I’ll have completely uninterrupted study time. One could only hope. 

Except maybe this time I should pray, really, really hard once midterms creep up. I have a feeling that it’s going to be an absolute nightmare. 

It’s 9:13, approximately 2 hours and 47 minutes until 12:00pm. It’s almost tomorrow.
