mid-february slumps...
posted february 12th, 2025Hello internet people!
I've hit the wall that I usually hit in the mid-February time. However, I am now in my second semester of my senior year (blech.) This is, unfortunately, contributing hard to the slumps. I think I watched... 4 movies? last week. I haven't been given a whole lot of strenuous work to do, and I'm just in a waiting game for now until my audition to get into my major, which will be in march. Anyways, back to the slumps.
I just don't have anything to do during the school day! I just sit around and, as aforementioned, watch the free movies available to me through Youtube TV & Movies (the free ones). Then, I come home and just kinda sit on my butt until it gets late enough for me to justify rotting on my computer for a bit. I've been playing a lot of Splatoon, though, and that's been a relief. I joined a team about a month ago, so I'm practicing Snipewriter 5H for the position that I play. It's been going well so far! But that's against the point.
Another bit of relief I've run into while all this slumpiness has been going on is that I've been having throwing practice a couple times a week to gear up for my upcoming track season. Honestly, I should be practicing for my audition (I get really stressed when I think about it so I'm procrastinating) but... eh. My mom's sick right now, so I can't bring my rather loud instrument home to play in her eardrums.
I hate being in the slumps. All my music sounds bad (I have too much time to listen to it), all my thoughts are unoriginal (I've been over them all already, and I'm trying to move past my bad overthinking habits), and there's nothing to eat that sounds appealing to me. I don't have enough motivation to pick up the clothes on my floor, or to update my website, and my back hurts. Damn volleyball, making my back hurt for eternity.
But, I try to stay positive. It will all work out in the end. Everything's been resolved in my life up until this point, so I just need to keep on trusting that I will, once again, move past this segment of my life and onto greater things. I like being an optimist. Being a pessimist sucks.
Hope you're all staying out of the slumps!
