Cocktail Depression, or so I thought

Microbes Project. Microbes Lab Report. Solids Project. Wastewater test. Presentations.

5 major deadlines within the span of a week. I thought I was dead. I seriously thought I was going to suffer from a bout of depression. I went to school daily literally stoned and all my friends were asking if I was ok. My eyebags started to grow even larger than my eyes! (trust me, I have BIG eyes)

Well, that was one week ago. Today, almost 1 week later, and I’m still here! Alive, kicking and happier than ever! I managed to stay alive! I survived! I managed not to fall into depression! In fact, a couple of my friends even complimented that I was looking sharper than ever! At this point, I’m pretty sure you’re wondering, how on earth did he do it?

I guess one of the things that kept me going was support from my friends. Their constant care and love really made me realise how lucky I was! Another factor that might have been the fact that I’ve actually started jogging! Yes! After countless ‘Jeremy I think you’ve grown chubbier’ I’ve finally decided to do something about it.

But, I think the strategy that benefited me the most was planning out my work. Now, as simple as this may sound, not many people actually plan their work! Ok, maybe they do. But I’ve noticed that majority of my friends only do it very last minute! They only begin to plan when the exams are approaching or when something huge comes up.

By writing down a detailed schedule, I was able to step out of my mind full of cluttered thoughts and look at the big picture! Guess what? When I took that step back, I actually saw that I didnt have THAT much to do! I mean it was a mouthful but it was manageable!

I hope that this little snippet of my life has managed to show you that no matter how much work you think you might have, you’ll live through it. Trust me. As the Chinese saying goes, ‘The bridge will automatically be in place when the boat arrives’ (Haha.. My translation does need abit of work)
