Thinking, Thinking, Thinking.......................

So, the truth is that everyone at one point or another starts to think about everything going on in their lives whether it be school or their friendships and relationship with others. What you think about is under your control. Personally, i think that thinking has a huge impact on a person's life. Whether you believe that or not I have seen the effects it has had on me. So as im writing this blog I ask you "do you ever think that thinking is just too much stress?".

As an incoming college student i feel as if everyday i sit for hours and hours thinking about what im going to do next. You might think that this is a good thing. At first i thought to myself "hey if i think about what i have to do it might help me with time managemnt." Well i was wrong. At this point and time in my life i feel stress that i have never felt before. Everything right now is just too much for me. It is only a week into the semester and i already had a breakdown. The reason for the breakdown? I saw how many thing i had to do by the upcoming week that i began to cry because i felt i just could not handle it. I spent almost two hours "relaxing" and away from my studies because i just couldn't concentrate. In that time i could have been reading and stidying. The thoughts in my head were running faster then i could process. IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH!!!!

Since that day i have tried to calm myself down and stop thinking so much and just take everything one day at a time, but i find that extremely difficult. I have talked to most of my friends about the way i feel and they try to help and tell me that i am stressing too early in the school year. Can you believe that even as i am composing this blog i am actually thinking about what i will do next? I just find myself wanting to relax a little and just do what i have to do but i cant. And then i think that if i was more carefree i might not get things done on time and as quickly as i should. So maybe thinking a little is good?

There are people who go through life without stressing or thinking about anything. Is this necessarily a good thing? They might be the type that go through school with average grades or the type of student that knows how to pace herself and get things done so she finishes at the top of his/her class. You will never really know the impact that stress and thinking has on someone until its you going through it. Thinking is a process that can break you or make you. SO HOW DO YOUR THOUGHS AND YOUR STRESS AFFECT YOU?
