wake up and smell the "iced coffee."

-

Wake up and smell the coffee! a cliché, but sometimes you really do need to become aware of the realities of a situation, however unpleasant. On days where you feel sad or frustrated you usually just want to stay in bed and overthink about the situation. what really helps me sometimes is actually  getting out of bed for some fresh air and iced coffee. I call these solo dates which most people are afraid of doing. Some places in life you need to go alone and embrace your solo journey and be ok with being alone or by yourself.  In solitude you feel more deeply immersed in you surroundings it always make me feel calm. We live in a busy world that it is difficult to even take time for our selves and have those intimate self-care days. I say go on try it, I dare you to go on a solo date and experience peace and joy even if its for a few hours because we all know life will life sometimes. So go on wake up and smell the iced coffee! 

xoxo

    Girl solo dates for me are therapeutic. You get to just reflect on yourself, where you are and where you're going.

    It's great that solo date works for other people. I don't wanna be alone because I tend to overthink and feel so much pain and loneliness that why I like to be surrounded by people and laugh so that I forget all my sorrows and be happy. Solo dates makes me depressed but I would encourage others to try them because it really works for others

 One of the most precious things I did in my 20s was to travel. Started locally and in 2017 me and my friends decided to cross boarders and get those passports stamped honey (snaps fingers). I have a friend who is from Botswana and the idea started with visiting her country and we ended up dreaming big and decided to travel to 4 countries that year. We started in Swaziland which was fun and we attended the reed dance. Next on the list was Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was in December and we stayed in Kasane which made it easier for us to cross to Zimbabwe and Zambia. We had a lot of fun and met with amazing people. We had a tour guide who took us places and to a beautiful game drive. I will never forget that experience and the memories we created to last us a lifetime.

One experience that left me speechless was seeing the poverty in Zambia it was heart breaking but I guess that gave

Test week

 Stress all around as it was test week at our University. Now if you don't prepare in advance you know you prepare to fail. After two full years of on line learning because of Covid we are back to sit in exams and tests full time  and our brains are still in shock of everything. I am still a bit rusty and finding everything about school difficult especially with the funding problems I am currently facing, we also lost a classmate we loved dearly. But all of these are minor setbacks toward the end goal. We are so close to the finish line there is no turning back now we will keep on pushing.  We all have questions or worried about employment opportunities with the state of our economy and high unemployment rate is South Africa. The problem the graduates are facing in this country we can only hope for a light at the end of the tunnel.  That shouldn't demotivate us we know why we started, we have that common goal of getting out of poverty and education is our ticket!
