As a busy college student, part time employee, and someone who prioritizes getting active, I feel as if I live a million lives in one day, but I love it. It’s all so exciting I feel like I get to be so many different people in just one day. It’s like I’m a shapeshifter.From waking up at the crack of dawn to get to the gym, to classes at school all day, and ending my night with a serving shift, my days go by so fast yet it feels like a million things happen in a day. It’s kinda wild, kinda drives me crazy, yet I wouldn’t change a thing.
Living a fast paced lifestyle is definitely something that just clicks for me. I feel like I rarely have time to overthink anymore cause I’m too focussed on the present and that’s the perfect way for me. Instead of sitting around worrying about things that may or may not happen, I’m constantly moving, always onto the next thing. It keeps me sharp, keeps me engaged, and honestly, it keeps life interesting. I never know what’s going to come my way next, maybe it’s 10 new assignments or maybe it’s an extra long shift at the restaurant, but it keeps me on my toes and keeps me awake.
Sure, it gets exhausting. There are definitely days when I feel like I’m running on fumes, surviving off caffeine and whatever quick meal I can grab between responsibilities. But even on those days, there’s something so satisfying about knowing I made the most out of every hour. I don’t feel like I’m wasting time—I feel like I’m living. I think it’s also refreshing to see so many different types of people in a day, at the gym I get my active crowd. It’s nice to talk about different fitness goals I have with the people at my gym. At school it’s always a fun group of people where we get to have fun learning and share some laughs at lunch. Then when I get to work it’s just like I’m hanging out with my friends and getting paid to serve tables which I honestly I kinda enjoy doing anyway (except the dirty dishes part, yuck.)
Even though my life feels like a constant whirlwind sometimes, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The fast pace, the challenges, and the endless to-do lists all make me feel alive. I thrive in the chaos, and while it might not be for everyone, it’s exactly the kind of life that fuels me. What do you like better? Slow living? Or fast paced madness?
