Identity in the Surrounding World:
So I thought for this blog that I might want to start a discussion about how everyone feels about the weather right now… I am sure that all of you are feeling the same pain I am getting out of bed in the morning and glancing outside to the dark gray clouds, and knowing that it is bitterly cold outside. (plus in Whitman they haven’t turned on the heat so it is frequently very cold inside our room) I have found that many times the sun outside has been playing mind games with me lately. This dreary cold weather outside we have been experiencing lately has been putting my mind into a funk. I feel tired, lazy, and extremely unmotivated. (but is it really that different when its sunny? Just kidding) I guess that is why they call it the blues. While I am still searching to figure out my personal identity and accompanying emotions, one personal aspect about myself that I am certain about is how I adapt to my surrounding environment. Most of the time, my mood can be like a sponge soaking up the physical environment around me. I don’t know if this is something I need to change before the winter months start to take a toll on me, but adaptation to the cold with positive energy is something that I need to learn how to create. How do the rest of you feel about weather?
