I really like to just lay on my bed in my towel for like 5 minutes after showering and dangle my feet off of my bed. Forget about everything. Seriously great.

I, for whatever reason, don't believe in my ability in so many levels. That's why I debate about grad school, doubt my ability to get accepted and do the work there. And if not grad school, then it's work or whatever. It's probably unreasonable because by all accounts, I should believe more in myself and my ability and be able show other people ( Read more... )
