The fact that all the rooms in my house still have those awesome glow-in-the-dark star stickers on the ceilings, and they still work after 20+ years. I hardly remember to look at them these days, but when I do they cheer me up.
Skinny cow icecream cookies :)
Eating random dinners with all sorts of stuff. Like, vegetarian sausages wrapped in turkey, and mushrooms spread with vegemite.
Eating lunch in the form of brown gloop.
Mixing stuff with raspberries up so it turns pink!
Taking stupid photos of myself, so then I can look at them and laugh at how dumb I look.
People who dress like this in races :D
Pretty flowers, and photography in general.
Sunsets, the beach.
Kicking some butt! (Or getting my butt kicked)
Chocolate, in all its variations.
Dumb jokes on the back of toilet doors. The bit I thought the funniest is: "Don't fight for femmenism, fight for equal rights!" to which someone has replied "Fight for spelling!"
And the most important? Friends.
Yes, I have sacrificed my friends for the sake of my study this year. And you know what? It was stupid. I've burnt myself out because I've had little to no time with my friends, I've spent every weekend studying and this semester I just couldn't hack it. The only me time I've had is watching TV and exercising. I have literally said no to EVERY SINGLE INVITATION this year. It has turned me into a recluse, brought back social anxiety symptoms, and made me focus even more on food and diet, something I want to get away from.
So having completed absolutely no study today because I just can't face it, I'm now going to drive 3.5 hours to a dropzone where there's currently a big party, and see the friends I've been neglecting for way too long. Some things should come before study, why did it take me so long to realise this?
Yes, I've got three exams this week. But I just can't take it anymore, I need relief!!!!
(I am kinda going to listen to lectures on the car stereo on the way, but still!!)
