Everyday I (21m) start off with a cool head and a positive mindset. As the day goes on, I find myself in a downward spiral due to so much stress.

Today for example:

• I woke up (always a blessing)
• went to class
• worked a few hours
• went to the bowling alley
• tried to cool off and relax at the hookah lounge

While I was at the bowling alley, people started to talk and talk and talk to the point where I and some others got annoyed. The guy pretty much was being disrespectful to my friends and I so I confronted the person who kept going and told him to shut it before I make him.

He then proceeded to walk away as if nothing happened.

After I went to the hookah lounge still trying to wrap my head around what he was saying and how I hated that he got under my skin. Normally I’m not the fighting type, but there’s a line you don’t cross and he did.

After about 30 min of the mental chaos that was consuming me, I remembered I had a quiz due at the end of the night. I went to pull it up, but never realized the time. I ended up only getting to about question 10 of 45 before it timed out.

My grade dropped from a 97% to an 88% all because I loss track of time due to some idiot getting under my skin? On the bright side, I did find out I should just bring headphones next time and ignore the attention seekers.

Thank god there’s only 3 more weeks left of the semester. I can take off the stress from school and just take care of myself.
