Sam Weber on Wordpress - Ready, Set, Reboot

Ready, Set, Reboot

jeffcupI am a very busy person. Between school, soccer, my business, and a myriad of other organizations that I am involved in, there is little time to rest.  Yesterday, I was in class desperately trying to pay attention to my professor lecturing about a Eurodra Welty short story, but found my mind drifting to all of the things I needed to get done this week.  In a matter of minutes, I was able to make a to-do list with 27 pressing items.
While I enjoy living a fast-paced lifestyle, sometimes it all just becomes really overwhelming and I need to take a day or two to just get away from it all.  Last week I found myself getting to the point where I literally wanted to just get in my car and drive until I couldn’t drive anymore.  Fortunately, I had a road trip already scheduled for the weekend with four friends.  We took the weekend and went to Charlottesville, Virginia.
The weekend was such a blessing – I enjoyed spending the majority of Saturday outside watching soccer games in the sunny 60 degree weather.  That night, my friends and I played soccer tennis under the lights while wearing shorts.  We ate amazing homemade food, watched a movie, and just spent time together hanging out.  I even ditched my computer and barely looked at my phone.
While going to Virginia meant spending 12 total hours in the car driving, the weekend was well worth it and really helped me reboot after a tough couple of weeks, and I was able to spend some quality time with great friends.
