I'm NOT DEAD...just slowly crawling along

I'm not dead...just slowly crawling along this road we call life. I've been very stressed and busy lately. Sometimes I feel like I take on more than I can handle, but when I step back to evaluate all that I've accomplished so far in life, I realize that it's really not that much. So I wonder, is it just me? Do I have a problem with multitasking and trying to juggle so many different things at once? Why is it that so many other people can succeed when they are involved in so many more things than me? In my case, I have schoolwork, combined with extracurriculars, combined with relationship issues. I don't even have a job yet. What will I do when I enter the "real world"? I think ever since I was young, I've always had problems with concentrating for prolonged periods of time. That's just how my brain works. If I took half the time doing the useless things that I love to do, like researching new cosmetic lines and planning what to buy from online retailers, and used to study/work on assignments, I would be SO much more productive. I am extremely distracted and worn out lately. I feel jaded. I think am tired of constant stress and the work piling upon work. The sad part is that even I admit that I am not taking a particularly heavy course load this semester. I think I have might a problem. Maybe the first step to dealing with it is to admit it.

Quick Update

I know I haven't been blogging lately, but I really promise not to abandon this blog! I'm super busy with schoolwork lately (MIDTERMS!!) and I've also been suffering from huge writer's block. In fact, I'm feeling a little worried that my writing skills are going to go down the drain if I don't start up writing again. On the bright side, I've just been lurking around other blogs and adding lots of really great ones to my reading list! A lot of beauty bloggers are doing giveaways for hitting a certain number of followers and some are just doing it because they are super nice!! Here are three that I am pretty excited about:

Tina-Bobeena's Giveaway

Itsura's Giveaway

Katie Ngo's Giveaway

Good luck to everyone!!
