This week is FINALS week at college, which is supposed to be the craziest time of the semester.  I, however, am enjoying a week of choosing my own schedule and learning at my own pace.  Finals is the week that I can push myself as far as I desire.  Either I can choose to stress over things, or I can put a smile on and study happily.  It has made the biggest difference not only this week, but in my life.  When I reflect on all of the difficult things I've had to do in my life, I can easily see how when I was trying to be happy I was!  I surrounded myself by happy people and through things that will help me to deal with my stress in a positive way.  It makes it much easier to go through days, wake up in the morning, head off for a test, or simply deal with yourself!  Why surround yourself with things and people that cloud out your rays of sunshine and enthusiasm?  IT"S NOT WORTH IT!!! LET IT GO!!!  I am choosing today how I want to react to the life situations that are being thrown at me.  I want to be happy, jubilant, sing-song-ee, and all out excited to live, and that starts TODAY!
