A Relaxing Weekend

Something happened this past weekend that seems to never happen. I didn’t have any assignments due. To preface, I probably haven’t had this occur since I was sophomore and I’m currently a senior. I’m a huge procrastinator, so I tend to leave most of my assignments and projects to be completed over the weekend. However, last week I was uncharacteristically productive and was able to finish all of my homework before Friday. This resulted in me actually taking the whole weekend to relax and chillout a little bit. Which was absolutely needed, especially now that we are so close to the end of the semester. Life always seems to get a little more hectic around this time and burnout becomes much more prevalent. 

So, on Friday one of my roommates and I picked up sushi from Yamato and then picked up some boba tea from the fundraiser that the American Asian Student Union (AASU) was hosting. Then we spent the rest of the night watching reruns of New Girl. Then, on Saturday I slept in pretty late, which was so nice! Sleep is one of my favorite things, so whenever I can get a little extra shut eye, I’m a happy person. I ended up spending most of the day scrolling through TikTok and binge-watching Netflix series. However, I did have the chance to make homemade Conchas which are a type of Mexican pan dulce, which translates into sweet bread. I hadn’t had some in quite a long time, so it was so nice to have the chance to enjoy them with some Mexican hot chocolate. Sunday turned out to be pretty similar in that I spent most of the day relaxing and hanging out with my roommate. 

Overall, even though this past weekend may seem boring to others, I really enjoyed the relaxation. It was nice to not have any assignments, upcoming exams, or presentations looming over my head for once. It was a great weekend and having that free time helped lift some of the stress. I hope all of you can find some time to relax and be stress free as we work hard to finish up this semester!
