Famous Last Words: Routine

Sometimes I think that the entirety of my week can happen in a blink. I wake up Monday morning, drive to school, and suddenly it's Friday afternoon and I'm just finishing work and heading home to start what I can only hope is a relaxing weekend. My relaxing weekends seem to take on a routine as well... sleep through Friday night, go to Grey Owl on Saturday to work for six to eight hours on homework and Student Government stuff, then go to campus on Sunday for Congressional committee meetings and more work. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination... I absolutely love having a routine and following it. But this weekend, I made a concerted effort to branch out a bit and do a few things differently. I went to a party on Friday night, and despite the feeling that my social anxiety was going to kick in and keep me from enjoying myself, I was able to go and enjoy my friend and mentor's twenty-first. Tonight, I took the initiative to get a few people together for a night of Halloween-themed fun and I'm pretty excited. I love how my week goes and I love how my weekends have been going, but I am really excited to change up my routine a little bit. Variety is the spice of life, right? It is during times like these that I'm also thankful for friends that realise that, sometimes, I get a little overwhelmed in social situations and are willing to help make me feel comfortable. I really am blessed with some of the best people around. Also, my week was just made my someone walking into Grey Owl with a "Make America Nasty Again" hat so that we as also pretty wonderful.
