Let's Talk: Midterm Frustration and Burnout + J-hope leaving for the military

Good morning/afternoon/evening, you beautiful people!

I am posting a blog entry that I originally wrote on the 5th of November 2022, during hectic exam season. For me, as a college student, the autumn semester always flies by and it feels like a crazy blur. So I edited my finals month draft and pulled it out of my archives for you!

Midterms are fast approaching!!! This is such a stressful time for students, especially because there are many assignments and tests given out and expected to be completed in record time. Time seems to fly and with so much at stake, I just want you to not give up!

You are brave and strong for pushing through, don't throw in the towel. Do it for your future self, please don't allow temporary pain and struggles to become long-term trauma and regret. 

There is not a lot that we have within our control but there are things that we do have in our control. Such as how we choose to show up,  regardless of our situation is what shapes us. Keep going, let's keep going together! 

As we progress into autumn here in the southern hemisphere, please keep warm and take care of your health! Your education matters but so does your physical well-being. Don't overthink when writing or studying, just be present, pray and do your best! Keep fighting and remember why you started this! Education is one of the few things that can never be taken away from you, so cherish it and see it through, you never know where it may lead 👏💚! 

J-hope is leaving on the 18th of this month to go serve his country and I knew that this was coming but I feel like I am watching a loved one leave to serve a second time round! I don't know how I am going to be able to do this 5 more times😭! I pray that God protects him and that he adjusts well. I pray that Jin is well too, in Jesus name, AMEN🙏🏼! BTS HWAITING 💜 ARMY HWAITING! Let's be strong until 2025! 

Have a beautiful Sunday and a marvelous week ahead!

All my love 

Ruthy ❤️
