What a week!

It’s hard finding time for everything in my life being a college student. So many people want photos and so many of my classmates are relying on my help for projects. At times it gets hard balancing it all out and still making time for myself. I designate one day a week to myself to take a break from everything that pushes me. I love what I do. I love what I do so much to the point even on my day “off” I go to potential photo shoot locations and take some photos of the scenery to see how it looks edited. The one thing people don’t realize is how busy I truly am. Communicating with clients constantly, staying organized and on top of homework, attending class meetings, editing photos for 5 hours straight at a time and taking a few hour break to relax and try not to over-stress. I want to please everyone and give everyone what their wanting and I do. I forget I’m a human and need a break too and my mom and boyfriend remind me of this often because they see how hard I work. Just yesterday on my day ”off“, I emailed people, contacted classmates, booked shoots, went to a park to see if it’s a potential photo shoot spot and spent 4 hours editing at my boyfriends house when I was suppose to be relaxing. Just from this you can see how important what I do is to me. I hope this also gives you a reminder to give yourself a break. Others can wait a day so you can take care of yourself and give yourself a break. Either way, whoever you are doing things for will recieve the best quality of work even if it’s one day later. Remember to take care of yourself!!! You can’t be successful if you don’t put yourself first!
