When I’m stressed I eat.
And I’m effing stressed. I have a total of 65 pages to write (which means heaven only knows how many pages to read) before Christmas break/the end of the semester.
Also, as a poli sci major (and going to a liberal arts school), i feel like i am exposed to all sorts of social problems and am beginning to understand the solutions to them, but also understand that most of them will never really happen. I feel like the weight of humanity is on my mind sometimes and sometimes I’d rather not know then know. I want to pursue a career in social justice/policy work, and it’s really hard to remain optimistic, but I also know that’s the only way to get anything done.
I know that to be successful in getting the weight I’ve gained so far this semester I need to get a handle on stress eating as the semester winds down. I had some vegetable soup and cheerios throughout the afternoon for snacks and I just made a cup of green tea to stop myself from getting ravenous. And I started blogging.

I know exactly what you mean about the weight of humanity on your mind! I feel the same exact way and it makes me feel not alone know I’m not the only one. It makes me sad that I can’t solve all the world problems and sometimes I dwell on it =(
