Stress? What?
I never thought that I got stressed. But after waking up around 7 with no alarm with a very slightly upset stomach the past few mornings regardless of how late I went to bed the previous night, I'm thinking that maybe I'm subconsciously more stressed than I think I am. I don't really have any reason to be stressed, except for the paper that I have to finish before 9:45 this morning, the audition(s) I have during the first week of the semester, the reality of the fact that I am graduating this year and I need to figure out what the heck I'm doing after college, and normal everyday things that everyone deals with. Really, these things don't even come close to the amount of seemingly stress-inducing things that occur at other times of the year, like the end of a semester. So stress should not be an issue right now. How bizarre.

Hi Jillian,
This post caused me to reminisce about my own senior year. I went back and read some of my blog posts from that time period - yup, stressful.
Keep in mind that "This too shall pass," and also, as Julian of Norwich said, "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well."
If it's any consolation, when I was reading my own stressed thoughts I found myself thinking, "If only I had known that my life would turn out okay, and life after school would not be as scary as I had thought!"
I think "what-am-I-doing-with-my-life" stress trumps end-of-semester stress, though, and that's probably normal.
