Restless

I've been restless recently.

I do my homework, I go to the gym, I watch Netflix; yet, I always feel bored. 

I recently joined a sorority and that brought about a couple of changes in my weekly routine. I met a few girls this past week and those days were the days I felt most productive and fulfilled. Even if I was super awkward meeting one girl and ranted about my living situation for 30 minutes, even if I didn't get everything done for the classes that I wanted (but not needed) to get done; those days I still felt productive. 

Today, I saw some friends in the early afternoon. They took me to the grocery store and it was a great time, but now, as I sit here writing this, I feel the need to go on a walk or do something because my brain is moving fast but my body isn't. 

I'm attributing my restlessness to boredom. I'm sick of having the exact same routine. I used to love having a reliable routine because it made me feel organized. Now, I am begging the universe for a change. 

I don't know if I'm finally getting sick of quarantine and COVID, or since I got a little taste of socialization this last week and it decreased as the week went on and that's why I'm feeling this way. 

Even sitting here writing this, I am bored and really don't want to do it. I have some other things I can work on to get ahead, but I still feel so bored. Nothing sounds entertaining, but I don't want to go to sleep feeling like this. 

Maybe it's a mild bout of depression or temporary sadness? I really don't know, but I know for a fact that I am sick of being restless.
