The Best Feeling

There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you did really well on something that you prepared hard for, whether it was an important test, a competitive job interview, a new project, or even just a successful party. Especially, I think, for us Type A personalities, or maybe just my Type A personality, the endorphins of success last a long time and fuel me to do better in the future. I had a final early this morning for Organic Chemistry Lab, which I think I did really well on, and since I walked out of the room, I've been really excited to study for my other four finals and re-experience this feeling. I mean, success is practically high-grade crack for crazy perfectionists. You know how I was feeling low on motivation earlier? Yup, that feeling's completely gone. Organic chemistry in general has been really hard for me to grasp, and this final was supposed to be extremely content heavy (as opposed to lab technique heavy - which is usually easier) and really hard, but I just feel so much better and so relieved to think I did well. I just hope this doesn't end up being one of those situations where I just thought I did really well...

I think I might treat myself with a pair of these babies.
