Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you’re always a day away

The submission day is finally here

The day that seemed so far away is here. The day that everyone said will come around quickly. Blink and you’ll miss it. It’s here. I have spent the day glued to my laptop typing away and all I can think about is the books I will read, the movies I will watch and the way I will run in an open field when I am academically…free. This is the only break I have taken the entire day (even if I am technically still typing on a screen) so while I have this moment, here is a list of things I am looking forward to when I finally press submit for the last time.

1. Netflix

   1. I can not remember the last time I watched Netflix fully guilt free. I have this thing where I can’t just sit and watch a show without doing something. I have to at least be doing my hair, scheduling content, planning uni work, it feels like a real luxury to sit and just exist with a TV show or movie. Even during movie nights with my sister, we’d put the projector on the ceiling and if I am able to actually not do anything while watching, I end up sleeping like a grandma! I’m 21, I should be able to watch a 1.5 hour movie without feeling so exhausted.

2. Reading

   1. My bookshelf has only grown since the last time I wished I had more time to read. Even today, an order on Amazon went through for a book I forgot I had preordered. The difference is now I actually have time. I want to challenge myself and read a book from start to finish in a day, I’ve done it twice in my life and I’m looking forward to making that three times. I’ll do another blog post on my summer reading list.

3. Tennis/Horse riding

   1. I have been so mentally active that I have neglected my physical health in all honesty. I do the occasional home workout but it’s very different to actually going to the gym or doing a sport. I have recently been watching alot of tennis and follow some coaches so I have this crazy feeling that consuming all that content makes me a PRO. I just want to go to my local park and learn a new skill for fun. Then, I want to go back to my longtime love of horse riding and actually get to canter stage - it’s about time.

4. Making graduation outfit

   1. My older sisters have me sorted for graduation as they did for my prom. These next couple months will be for hairstyle testing and toiles of my outfit. I am so incredibly excited to see the sketches come to life. More on this later…

5. Running in an open field

   1. I was serious when I said I want to run in an open field. Or a really big park. I just need to feel like I’m soaring, flying. So if you see me doing a couple laps in your local park don’t question it - its just how I want to celebrate!

I hope you were not looking for the serious world domination style list. I genuinely don’t have the brain capacity right now to think beyond tomorrow. This is my be a kid for a day list and worry only about the flavour ice cream I will choose or what I will watch on TV.
