Finally. It felt like a tiny bit of pressure had been released from Dani's brain as she hit submit on her first assignment of the evening.
1 down, 2 more to go.

Grrrr

But first- a snack.
Dani popped a blueberry pop tart into the toaster before turning on her favorite show.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Watching the bickering wealthy women felt like the perfect escape from the grueling assignments and looming deadlines.

Dani was just a few bites into her snack when her phone lit up with messages. Her friend group chat had been blowing up nonstop all weekend.

Thicc B!tches 🔥

Stupid assignments. Take 18 credits they said. You'll be fine they said.

Dani put her phone on silent and put it face down on the coffee table. She tried to enjoy her show, but not even the housewives could distract her from all the fun she'd be missing out on tonight. This was how it was every weekend for Dani. So far, sophomore year had been all work and no play.

In a matter of moments the episode was over. It was time to head back to work.

Dani sighed deeply as she opened her laptop. She stared blankly at the beautiful wallpaper she'd chosen at the start of the semester. A screenshot from the BTS puppy interview. The video was a few years old now but seeing the guys with cute puppies made Dani happy.

Don't get distracted! Focus.

Dani opened a new word document and began typing. All while wishing she could be anywhere but here.
