Hi maria1,

Also keep in mind that you may feel out of step with the other students. They may be: Younger, free, have supportive families, have a boyfriend in the next quad, travel in a gaggle of friends and conventionally attractive. Now, not everyone is like that! That is your perception! Now, the student sitting next to you may be broke, lonely, doesn’t have a family to go back to ~ you just don’t know!

Little things can brighten your day. Also, little things that are good for you. And routines.

For example: Listening to classical music/jazz/international music when you cook. Watching a black and white movie. Dressing up. A spritz of perfume. Leisurely reading the classics from a leather bound book. Eating whole foods. Drinking tea. Making your bed every morning. Singing from musicals. Any Etc. you want!!

At first it may feel forced, but eventually you will look forward to the day!

I love Flylady.net and Madame Chic (google them).

Hang in There!

Inky
