To be more vivid everyday

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Daily Prompt

I have a vivid imagination when it comes to thinking about things. But if I have to write it down, it’s more complicated. It’s easier to live in your head than in real life. I wish I could be more vivid in everyday life. I wish I could get up earlier in the morning. My late mother used to say you have time to do much more during the day if you get up earlier. The problem is that I get to bed late at night. I only get up early twice a month when I travel to Helsinki for the filmmaking course. If I had a job and a reason to get up early, that would be different.

I wish I could be more excited to do made-up design projects to fill my portfolio. But my mind isn’t that vivid for that kind of stuff. It’s challenging to get ideas on your own. No one is there to tell you what you should do. There are websites where you can find made-up projects, but who has the time. I still wouldn’t have any good ideas. I try to practise Adobe programs every day. Especially Illustrator, but I wish I could stick to it too. Other things distract me, though.

Staying sharp

Staying sharp when you have a lot of things to think about can be a little stressful. So many things must be done, so you must have a scheduling plan. I don’t write them down, though. I keep them in my head. I don’t have that many things to do, so I don’t need to. I don’t like to hurry because then things won’t be good. I do things when I feel like it. If I have something important to do, like school assignments, I might plan to do them the next day, but then I don’t. I get them done; that’s what matters.

Despite waking up early a few times a month, I’m still quite sharp in school. But then I get tired as well. I’m not a morning person, but I can wake up early if necessary. When there is school, I wake up at 4.30 am because I have to get to the train, but I wouldn’t want to do it often. When you study something interesting, you don’t get tired. For not being a morning person, I’m pretty sharp and excited in the morning. I wish I could be that when I’m at home too.

The time when I’m not sharp is when it’s something I don’t care about. Who would do something they don’t like anyway? You can’t force yourself. It must come from you and not from someone else. Some people do what others are doing. For example, they study the same thing their best friend does even if they don’t want to learn the subject. You shouldn’t be afraid to follow your own path. You’ll be happier to do so, and it keeps you sharp too.

Morning without coffee is a waste

I don’t like tea. I like coffee. A morning without it is a waste. If I don’t drink something with caffeine I feel tired all day. Now when I have to wake up early twice a month to go to school, I don’t drink coffee at home. Those days I only drink coffee from a machine. It’s not the best though. That’s better than nothing. Drinking coffee without milk and sugar taste like poison in my mouth. I once had to drink it straight up because I didn’t have milk and it’s the worst taste ever. If there isn’t coffee I drink Finnish energy drink called Battery. I hate Red Bull and any other I tasted. Nothing beats coffee though.

I only drink two cups per day. Sometimes three if someone offers. Other times not. Since I stopped drinking soda, water, milk, chocolate milk and juices are the only drinks I drink. The best coffee it’s the one you make yourself. I’m quite good at it I might add. You get it the way you what it. I also have instant coffee but that’s not as good as the one you make in a coffee maker. I only drink instant if I live in a dorm like I did when I studied web design or it’s too late to make coffee. Those are days when I sleep too long. That’s not that often though. Most of the time I drink coffee after I wake up.

I don’t go to coffee houses. I’m not one of those people who sit in a café and sit there for hours. I like my coffee at home. Sometimes I can go to one but that’s really rare. Last time I went was with my dad was when we went to a shopping centre. I don’t really remember when exactly. Coffee is nothing if you don’t eat anything with it. It’s usually something sweet. The sweet tooth that I am. Except if it’s morning it’s a sandwich. I don’t drink coffee just the hell of it. I do it for a reason. If I don’t drink coffee I get a headache. Tea is the last drink I would drink so don’t offer me one. If it’s coffee then I’m all, got milk? I wouldn’t say no to a cup of great coffee.
