I’m not talking about the hairstyle or piano key necktie. I’m talking about the crazy pills. I’ve always been very level-headed, very even-tempered. But, since starting grad school, and especially in the last semester, I’ve started having what I can only call irrational thoughts. As I’ve become more successful in school, I’ve become so much harder on myself. I’m some kind of crazy perfectionist now, and it’s really starting to wear on me.

It’s ok to want to be better, that’s how we all grow. The thing with being a perfectionist, as I am also one, is that you have to stop every once in awhile and smell the roses. Congratulate yourself for a job well done and recognize how awesome you are. When you accomplish something big or are on the right path and doing very well you have to treat yourself to some kind of reward. Take yourself out to dinner, buy yourself something nice. Teachers reward you with an A and although that is rewarding, you have to give yourself something from you. The A’s get boring after awhile even though they add up to the great reward of graduating and then using that degree for what you went to school for in the first place. Treat yourself within reason though. You don’t want to get too carried away though. You want your next treat to be good as well.
BTW, what is this? A center for Ants? How do you expect the children to learn to read when they can’t even fit inside the building? My favorite part of Zoolander. It’s too funny how crazy dumb he is.
