This week is just so very crazy.

As I'm writing, my mind is still worrying about my advertising principles test tomorrow. Things have been pretty busy and my weekly schedule is being filled up before every Monday. Assignments, meetings, job, leadership and responsibilities are sucking my energy up almost everyday.

Guess I really needed a breather.

Boom, it just crossed my thoughts that it is God who placed these assignments, job and responsibilities in our life.

Does God have any idea how much we are going through in life? How much tiredness we have to bear by the end of everyday; how much pain our minds have to undergo, does He have any idea at all?

I'm sure He does.

Then why did He make life so hard for us? He didn't.

Last semester, my acting class professor, Bruce Hyde, showed me the difference between busy, and stressed. He acted two possible situations of men who were assigned the same task. We can be busy yet attend to each task diligently. On the other hand, when we are stressed, we stumble through everything and see things like burdens, with a touch of anxiety. So, all we actually have to do is:

Breathe. Always remember to breathe.
Making sure we manage our time well, and
Set forth our priorities. Such priorities, I believe, should be flexible.

God teaches us the values in life through the tasks He assigned to us everyday. True enough. If it was not for the tons of homework piling on our desks every week, we may not learn discipline. If it was not for the deadlines given by our professors, we may not learn planning/strategy. If it was not for the tiny amount of time we have to meet our friends, we may not learn friendship.

I am learning to slow down and rethink my situation. I want to take the best out of life. With that, I pray those students who are also stressed about school can take time to lay back and enjoy their lives.
