We are all creatures of habit

We are all creatures of habit in this very organized world.  At college we are forced to go to the same classes at the same time on the same day of the week.  This can make our daily schedules become monotonous very quickly.  Heck, even the food in the cafeteria and the student union building is the same every day.  I decided when I went home this week for my “spring break”  I was going to try and make my schedule as different as possible not only from my days at college but from how it was when I was home last semester. 

            At first I started out with instead of hitting the snooze alarm when it was around noon time to get up from my nap I just got right up.  Next on a normal day I would have gotten right in the shower instead I went downstairs to brush my teeth.  On a normal day I would have brushed my teeth in the upstairs bathroom but instead I moved all of my toiletries to the downstairs bathroom.  This was annoying at first because I wanted to use the upstairs bathroom then I would realize quickly that all of my stuff was in the other powder room.  Now usually I would go out and get my morning donkin donuts coffee but this week I decided to attempt to make my coffee at home not only for this project but to save money.  It worked, well, once I figured out how to use the coffee machine and it didn’t taste too bad.

            Next I changed the way I bathed. Usually I would take a bath and not wash my hair at night and then shower in the morning.  For this week only I tried changing it around.  Honestly, it did not work too well because I couldn’t stand going to bed with wet hair and then waking up with it looking like a poodles fur.  So I quickly went back to my routine.  I also took time to go to the mall by myself instead of calling friends to go with me.  To my surprise I enjoyed this a lot more because I did not need to go to stores I did not want to go to and lie and give good opinions on ugly clothes.  It was very…relaxing!  I think that from now on I will try and go shopping solo. 

            I most likely could have made a few more changes but like I stated before we are all creatures of habit and we will eventually flow back to our normal everyday schedule.
