As I am approaching my senior year at Millsaps, (seriously please slow down) I have realized that each day there is something that will be a challenge. Whether it be comprehensive exams that I have to take this fall (HELP), or something as simple as not being able to find my car keys (which happens way too often) or not being able to finish the assignment that I started, I have realized that instead of letting these challenges build up or get in my way, I have to forget the small ones and work through the big ones because if I let them stop me, I won't be able to accomplish what I have set out to do. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or there is something bothering me I normally come back to the same quotes and the same advice no matter the situation.
